Does This Establish Cause-and-Effect

Does This Establish Cause-and-Effect

1. Part 1 – Use AI to create a study

You must copy exactly the prompt given by your professor and paste it into an AI tool (such as ChatGPT).

The AI will generate a short research study (150–200 words) that includes:

• A clinical context (for example: ABA, speech therapy, counseling, or school psychology).
• Participants
• Procedure
• How the results will be measured

⚠️ Important:

• The study must use a quasi-experimental or single-case design.
• It cannot include random assignment.
• It cannot be a true experiment.
• You must not edit the text. Copy and paste it exactly as the AI generated it into Blackboard.

2. Part 2 – Analyze the design (this part must be done by you)

You must answer three questions, about two sentences each:

1. What type of design is it?
   • Single-case
   • or quasi-experimental
2. How do you know it is that type of design?
   Explain briefly which characteristics of the study indicate that design.
3. Does the study establish cause-and-effect?
   Explain whether it demonstrates causality and why.

⚠️ You must not use AI for this part.
