Compare the different ways that variability in the data is treated with individual subject designs and group comparison designs
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include: Individual subject designs attempt to identify sources of variability and either control or manipulated them as an independent variable. Data that contains a lot of variability is likely to indicate to the behavior analyst that more research is required to identify the sources of that variability. In group comparison designs, statistical manipulation is used to cancel out variability. Causes of variability are attributed to chance and are not identified through statistical treatments.
