Involuntary memories are common in daily life and thought to play important functional roles, for example in prompting behaviour. People can experience involuntary memories not only of events they have actually experienced, but also of scenarios they have only imagined. However, this latter phenomenon, and the factors influencing its occurrence, are relatively unexplored. The current study aimed to investigate whether the vividness of an imagined scenario affects the likelihood of involuntary recall.

Introduction: Psychology is shifting from group-based designs to idiographic approaches, raising questions about suitable analytical methods. While a full review across subfields is beyond this paper’s scope, psychotherapy research serves as a representative example. Single Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs) can be used to estimate meaningful intervention effects for individuals, but selecting among many evaluation methods is challenging. This study provides a comprehensive overview of SCED analysis methods, assessing their strengths and limitations to guide scientific and clinical decision-making. Method: A literature search was conducted to identify methods suited to compare a baseline to an intervention phase, to be used with idiographic or non-standardized items and with repeated evaluations during ongoing therapy. To illustrate these methods, data from a clinical single case is analyzed and interpreted as an example. Results: Seventeen relevant peer-reviewed articles on SCEDs and clinical decision-making were identified. NAP, Tau-BC, and the Bayes Factor emerged as particularly suitable methods, though further validation is needed. Method selection highly depends on data characteristics, with nonoverlap approaches preferred for non-parametric data and SMA or DARCI suitable for small datasets. The case study revealed challenges in interpreting and combining different methods, emphasizing the need for clearer guidelines. Discussion: While no single method is universally optimal, future research should refine existing approaches, compare them systematically, and integrate clinical perspectives to develop clearer guidelines. Beyond identifying a gold standard, ensuring practical implementation remains a key challenge.
