Using both group (nomothetic) and individual (idiographic) approaches to measuring clinical change may provide more information about the effectiveness of an intervention than either approach alone. The current study re-examined previously published data from two randomized clinical trials of omega-3 fatty acids and Individual-Family Psychoeducational Psychotherapy as treatment for mood disorders in youth, using modified Brinley plots, a method of illustrating individuals' treatment response in the context of group information. Although the original nomothetic approach provided information about the average effect of treatment, modified Brinley plots gave more information about individual children's outcomes. Practicing clinicians in particular could use modified Brinley plots to track treatment trajectories and outcomes for specific clients and subsequently use these data to inform treatment planning.

Specific but not general declines in attention and executive function with aging: Converging cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence across the adult lifespan.

Objective: Attention and executive function (EF) are vulnerable to aging. However, whether all these functions generally decline with aging is not known. Furthermore, most evidence is based on cross-sectional data and fewer follow-up data are available in the literature.

In science in general and in the context of single-case experimental designs, replication of the effects of the intervention within and/or across participants or experiments is crucial for establishing causality and for assessing the generality of the intervention effect. Specific developments and proposals for assessing whether an effect has been replicated or not (or to what extent) are scarce, in the general context of behavioral sciences, and practically null in the single-case experimental designs context. We propose an extension of the modified Brinley plot for assessing how many of the effects replicate.

Cognitive aging researchers have been challenged with demonstrating age-related effects above and beyond global slowing ever since Cerella raised this issue in 1990. As the literature has made clear, this has indeed proved to be a difficult task and continues to plague the field. One way that researchers have attempted to test for disproportionate age differences across task conditions is by using Brinley plots, or plotting the mean response latencies of older adults against the mean latencies for younger adults.

Although consistency is frequently mentioned as a critical feature, few quantifications have been proposed so far: namely, under the acronyms CONDAP (consistency of data patterns in similar phases) and CONEFF (consistency of effects). Whereas CONDAP allows assessing the consistency of data patterns, the proposals made here focus on the consistency of data features such as level, trend, and variability, as represented by summary measures (mean, ordinary least squares slope, and standard deviation, respectively).

This case analysis involved 41 clinical cases wherein children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) received a behavioral intervention for sleep problems. This study intended to (a) evaluate the efficacy of function-based behavioral sleep treatments; (b) elucidate variables impacting response to such interventions; (c) inform practitioners addressing sleep problems without a robust evidence-base; and (d) suggest priorities for future sleep research. Interventions included antecedent- and consequence-based modifications, and the teaching of replacement behaviors.
