Why is replication so important to a single subject research study? How many replications are needed?

What will be an ideal response?


Replication refers to a repeated demonstration of the functional relationship between the independent and dependent variables. In other words, within the study, the researchers demonstrate more than once that the independent variable has a predictable and verifiable influence on the target behavior. Horner et al. (2005) suggested that 3 replications of the functional relationship was an indicator of a quality study. Clearly, at least 2 replications are needed.
