Sight Distance and Reaction Time. Sight Distance. Sight distance means the distance from which you can see and identify a hazard. You often see an object before youâre able to identify it as a hazard. If the stopping distance to an object is greater than the sight distance, youâre in danger of hitting the object.
The major methodology of this approach is the single-case experiment, or N = 1 design. Although there are many kinds of N = 1 designs, the most common are the ABAB design and the multiple-baseline design. An ABAB design, or reversal design, allows a researcher to confirm a treatment effect by showing that behavior changes systematically with conditions of No Treatment (baseline) and Treatment.
Additionally, the research design must make clear the procedures used to ensure the protection of research subjects, whether human or animal, and to maintain the integrity of the information collected in the study. There are many ways to design a study to test a hypothesis. The research design that is chosen depends on the type of hypothesis (e.g. Does X cause Y? or How can I describe X and Y? or What is the relationship between X and Y?), how much time and money the study will cost, and whether or not it is possible to find participants.
