The changing criterion design.

D P Hartmann, R V Hall
PMCID: PMC1312042  PMID: 1002635

Abstract

This article describes and illustrates with two case studies a relatively novel form of the multiple-baseline design called the changing criterion design. It also presents the design's formal requirements, and suggests target behaviors and circumstances for which the design might be useful.
