Baseline measures are usually taken prior to putting an experimental variable into effect. It is assumed that any changes below or above the baseline are due to the manipulation of the experimental vriable.There is a type of experimental design where the experimental variable is withdrawn and see if behavior returns to baseline,With this observation the certainty of the experimental variable effects is assured.My question is that although the withdrawal of medical treatment raises some ethical concerns,are the cases in psychological experimental where the attempts to return to baseline can be construed as a desirable experimental outcome?
