An example of a multiple-baseline design across settings involves measuring the amount of time a child spends reading during free time in two different environments: at school and at home. After establishing baselines in both settings, a treatment such as positive attention is introduced first at school and later at home. A change in reading behavior corresponding to the introduction of the treatment in each respective setting indicates that the treatment is responsible for the change.

Multiple-Baseline Design Across Settings Example

A researcher wants to determine whether positive attention increases a child's reading during free time. The researcher measures the child's reading time in two settings—school and home—and establishes a baseline in both. Positive attention is then introduced first at school and later at home. What pattern of results would indicate that the positive attention treatment is responsible for the change in reading behavior?
