Applied Behavior Analysis Multiple Baseline & Changing Criterion Designs
This set explains multiple baseline designs in ABA, which allow researchers to evaluate treatment effects across behaviors, settings, or subjects without withdrawing treatment, and includes applying treatment to one behavior while keeping others in baseline for comparison.
Multiple baseline design
flexible tactics that enables researchers to analyze the effects of an independent variable across multiple BXs, settings, and/or subjects without withdrawing the treatment variable to verify that the improvements in BX were a result of treatment

Multiple baseline across BX designs | concurrent measurement of 2 or more bXs of a singe participant. After steady baseline, apply treatment to one BX while maintaining baseline for the other BX(s). |
Multiple baseline across setting design | a singe BX of a person or group is targeted in 2 or more different settings or conditions |
Multiple baseline across subjects design | one target BX is selected for 2 or more subjects (or groups) in the same setting |
Multiple probe design | a method for analyzing the relation between the independent variable and the acquisition of a successive approximation or task sequence. |
delayed multiple baseline design | initial baseline and intervention are begun, and subsequent baselines are added in a staggered or delayed fashion |
changing criterion design | initial baseline observations on a single target BX. Baseline phase is followed by implementation of a treatment program in each of a series of treatment phases. Each treatment phase is associated with a step-wise change in criterion rate for the target BX. |
