神经心理学的群体研究报告效应大小越来越普遍。相比之下，在单例研究中很少这样做（至少在那些采用病例对照设计的研究中）。本文阐述了报告效应量的优点，推导了适用于单案例研究的效应量指标，并发展了用区间估计补充效应量点估计的方法。对单个案例（由Crawford， Garthwaite， Howell及其同事开发）实施现有经典和贝叶斯推理方法的计算机程序进行了升级，以提供这些点和区间估计。升级后的程序可从www.abdn.ac.uk/similar下载到psy086/dept/Single_Case_Effect_Sizes.htm。
It is increasingly common for group studies in neuropsychology to report effect sizes. In contrast this is rarely done in single-case studies (at least in those studies that employ a case-controls design). The present paper sets out the advantages of reporting effect sizes, derives suitable effect size indexes for use in single-case studies, and develops methods of supplementing point estimates of effect sizes with interval estimates. Computer programs that implement existing classical and Bayesian inferential methods for the single case (as developed by Crawford, Garthwaite, Howell, and colleagues) are upgraded to provide these point and interval estimates. The upgraded programs can be downloaded from www.abdn.ac.uk/similar to psy086/dept/Single_Case_Effect_Sizes.htm.
