This study describes the benefits and challenges of meta-analyses of single-case design research using multilevel modeling. The researchers illustrate procedures for conducting meta-analyses using four-level multilevel modeling through open-source R code. The demonstration uses data from multiple-baseline or multiple-probe across-participant single-case design studies ( = 21) on word problem instruction for students with learning disabilities published between 1975 and 2023. Researchers explore changes in levels and trends between adjacent phases (baseline vs. intervention and intervention vs. maintenance) using the sample data. The researchers conclude that word problem solving of students with learning disabilities varies based on the complexity of the word problem measures involving single-word problem, mixed-word problem, and generalization questions. These moderating effects differed across adjacent phases. These findings extend previous literature on meta-analyses methodology by describing how multilevel modeling can be used to compare the impacts of time-varying predictors within and across cases when analyzing single-case design studies. Future researchers may want to use this methodology to explore the roles of time-varying predictors as well as case or study-level moderators.

Background: Proper name anomia is a common experience that can become amplified in patients with a diagnosis of dementia (PWD). The Gotcha! app aims to provide practice-based therapy for PWD to relearn the names of key people in their lives. It has been developed using the principles of errorless learning and spaced retrieval, which have previously been shown to improve the remembering the familiar people's names and benefit the relationship between the PWD and their loved ones.

Introduction: Emulating the vast inclusion of advanced technology in everyday practice, the medical world is no exception to its implementation, in particular, virtual reality (VR). Initially, its introduction as a therapy was accompanied by high aspirations and expectations for its growth and potential. Motivation is said to be the most associated benefit; although it is imperative to note that there exists a paucity of research that specifically quantifies its tangible impact on cerebral palsy (CP).

Background: Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) are common in young people and are characterized by persistent or recurrent abdominal symptoms without apparent structural or biochemical abnormalities. FAPDs are associated with diminished quality of life, school absence, increased health care use, and comorbid anxiety and depression. Exposure-based internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating abdominal symptoms and improving quality of life.
