Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data
The percentage of non-overlapping data (PND) is a statistical metric used to summarize data in single-subject research. It is defined as the percentage of responses in the treatment condition that are more extreme than the most extreme response in a relevant control condition. A greater percentage of non-overlapping data indicates a stronger treatment effect.

In single-subject research, how are formal statistical procedures, such as the t test or analysis of variance, typically utilized?
To apply formal statistical procedures in single-subject research, a researcher might calculate the mean and standard deviation of a single participant's responses under different conditions and then use an inferential test to formally compare those conditions.
A researcher is conducting a study with a single participant to evaluate the impact of a white-noise machine on sleep quality scores. To provide a rigorous supplement to the visual inspection of the data, the researcher decides to use formal statistical procedures. Arrange the steps the researcher should take to apply this analysis in the correct order.
In single-subject research, visual inspection is the primary method of analysis, but researchers often supplement this with statistical techniques. Match the following components of a single-subject study to the specific analytical role they fulfill.
A clinical psychologist is developing a new evaluation framework to help practitioners supplement visual inspection with formal statistical procedures in single-subject designs. Which of the following proposed protocols correctly synthesizes the necessary components for comparing a participant's responses across different conditions?
A researcher argues that a test performed on a single participant's responses provides more objective evidence than visual inspection and should be the sole basis for concluding an intervention was successful. To critique this argument correctly according to single-subject research standards, one must realize that such formal statistical procedures are intended to be _____ methods that support, rather than replace, visual analysis.

How is the percentage of non-overlapping data (PND) defined in single-subject research?
Assuming a researcher's goal is to increase a target behavior in a single-subject design, arrange the steps for calculating the Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) in the correct order.
A researcher is evaluating an intervention designed to increase target behaviors in a single-subject study. Match each data scenario to the correct calculation and interpretation of the Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND).
When evaluating the results of single-subject research, a Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) of provides conclusive evidence that the intervention had no effect on the target behavior.
In single-subject research, what does a greater Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) indicate?
In a single-subject research study aimed at decreasing a problem behavior, a Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) of indicates that every data point in the treatment phase was lower than the lowest data point recorded in the baseline phase.
A researcher uses a single-subject design to increase a student's time on task. Baseline scores (minutes) across four sessions are: 12, 15, 13, and 16. Treatment scores across ten sessions are: 18, 17, 16, 19, 20, 21, 15, 18, 19, and 22. The Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) for this study is _____%.
A researcher is using a single-subject design to evaluate an intervention designed to increase a participant's daily steps. During the baseline (control) phase, the highest recorded number of steps is 4,000. During the treatment phase, the participant records the following daily step counts across five sessions: 3,500, 4,200, 4,500, 3,800, and 5,000. Apply the definition of the Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) to calculate the PND for this study and explain what your result indicates about the treatment effect. Provide a concise analytical response.
Based on the provided data, calculate the Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) for both patients. Diagnose which patient demonstrated a stronger treatment effect from the intervention and justify your decision using the definition of PND.
A researcher conducts a single-subject study and calculates a Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) of . The researcher concludes that this metric indicates a highly successful and strong treatment effect. In one to three sentences, evaluate the validity of the researcher's conclusion based on the principles of PND.
