 Chapter 12 introduces you to single-subject or small-n designs, which include both the baseline designs pioneered by B. F. Skinner and the older, discrete trials type. A major goal of the chapter is to show how valid inferences about causal relationships can be drawn from single-subject data, even though group-based statistical analyses cannot be performed. Instead, techniques such as rigid control over extraneous variables, use of stability criteria, and replication provide the means to uncover causal relationships and assess their reliability.Instructions:

This week lab experience will place you in the role of the participant for a single-subject design. You will need to have someone available to text with for part of this experiment, so please plan accordingly.
This experiment may or may not have problems with the design. You will need to read the material in your textbook and apply what you read to this experiment.  Please read through the instructions carefully. This lab assignment report is due Sunday.
In this experiment, you are going to play a game of Frogger at the following link: Frogger ???? Play on CrazyGames
Feel free to play it for a bit before you get started so that you are familiar with how the game is played. Once you are ready to begin, make sure you have no distractions and are able to play continuously for as long as you are able to. When you are done, record your score.
After you recorded your score, start texting with someone who is available to text back and forth for a few minutes. Please make sure to ask them to be ready to respond to your texts immediately.  Once they are available, type “What did you do today” and send – and then start playing Frogger again.  Make sure that you keep responding to incoming texts while you are playing Frogger.  Continue to text and play until you completed the game. When you are done, record your score.
Frogger ???? Play on CrazyGames

Reporting Instructions:

Please follow the attached Lab Reporting Instructions to write your report.
All of the headers should be kept as such in your report.
Be as clear as possible and apply as much material as is appropriate to respond fully.
There is no need for the use of materials outside of your textbook.
This report should rely on your readings, your experience, and your ability to put the pieces together. Remember not to include the use of personage unless specified (as in the qualitative reflection at the end of this report). It is generally atypical to include personage in a research report and important to learn to write without personage.
The instructional content should not be included in the report you submit.
