Answer to Question 1

Three components of experimental reasoning used in single-subject research designs: Prediction (stability of baseline responding over time), verification (demonstrating that the prior level of baseline responding would have remained unchanged has the independent variable not been introduced), replication

Answer to Question 2

The purposes of establishing a baseline level of responding: use the subject's performance in the absence of the independent variable as an objective basis for detecting the effects of the independent variable when introduced in the future. Provides the opportunity to look for and record environmental events that occur just before and just after the behavior
