When reviewing single-case design research, the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) first reviews each single-case design experiment within a study (or research article) to determine whether it meets standards. For each experiment that meets standards, the WWC then uses visual analysis to characterize the evidence of a causal relationship. The WWC…

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Standards Briefs explain the rules the WWC uses to evaluate the quality of studies for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. An aspect of a study is considered a confounding factor if it is not possible to tell whether the difference in outcomes is due to the intervention, the confounding factor, or both.…
