The results from each group are then compared to each other to examine differences, and thus, effect of the IV. For example, in a study examining the effect of Bayer aspirin vs Tylenol on headaches, we can have 2 groups (those getting Bayer and those getting Tylenol). Participants get either Bayer OR Tylenol, but they do NOT get both Multiple baseline design The multiple baseline design allows for evaluation across clients, situations, or problems. It is a true experimental design in that it allows for causal inference. It is extremely useful for evaluating situations where an intervention would be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable Flaccid paralysis of soft palate remediated by palatal lift appliance to compensation for intact but non-functioning palate 1st choice of tx for submucous cleft surgery 1st choce for congenitally short palate surgery Best way to assess swallow (prior to providing speech tx) modified barium swallow ellipses omission of words or other linguistic units b/c they're unnecessary or contextually inferfed. deixis A word (such as this, that, these, those, now, then) that points to the time, place, or situation in which the speaker is speaking.
