What is the aim of a single subject design?

  1. To determine the generalizability of an intervention

  2. To measure the reliability of a treatment across multiple groups

  3. To determine whether an intervention has the intended impact on a subject

  4. To compare different treatments and find the most effective one

The correct answer is: To determine whether an intervention has the intended impact on a subject

A single subject design aims to examine the impact of a specific intervention on an individual subject. This design focuses on measuring the effectiveness of a treatment for a particular individual, rather than comparing it to other treatments or generalizing it to a larger population. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the specific purpose of a single subject design.
