Explain how change in level and trend from baseline to intervention phases are immediate indicators of a potentially successful intervention
What will be an ideal response?
First, change in level (particularly if there is little or no overlap of data from baseline to intervention phase) indicates the dependent variable is indicating a rapid and substantial change in responding with the introduction of the intervention. This suggests at least a rapid effect.
Second, change in trend in the dependent variable also can be an indicator of rapid effect. An ascending baseline that reverts to a descending trend (assuming reduction in behavior is desired) or vice versa (descending or flat baseline changes to ascending trend in a program to increase the target behavior) is an indicator of a rapid and positive effect.
Repeated measures and replication effects are necessary to fully establish the functional relationship.
