Question

In a multiple-baseline design, the treatment is applied at different times for each individual. Therefore, the effect on the behavioral record will be seen immediately after the application of the treatment in each individual, which corresponds to choice D. Choice A is incorrect because the effect may not occur at the same time for every individual due to differences in the timing of treatment application. Choice B is incorrect because baseline stabilization is used to establish a stable baseline, but it is not necessarily the time point at which the effect is expected to occur. Choice C is incorrect because the effect is not expected just before the application of the treatment, but rather immediately after.
