can be positive, negative or neutral. Good examples, smiling, hitting, sleeping, laughing, crying, and
eating.
Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures - Answer: Preference
Assessments: determining what items are most preferred by the client in order to increase the client's
motivation to complete tasks and instructions.
Functional Assessments: determining the cause and effect relationship between the environment and
behavior and altering that relationship in order to diminish the occurrences of future problem behaviors
by either altering antecedents, altering consequences, or teaching alternative/replacement behaviors.
Common Functions of behavior: - Answer: Social Positive Reinforcement: getting attention from
someone or access to something
Social Negative Reinforcement: Escaping or avoiding a task/activity

, Implement continuous measurement procedures: - Answer: Records every possible behavioral
occurrence.
Frequency: recording each instance of behavior
Duration: recording the number of seconds each instance of a behavior occurs.
Latency: recording the elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus to the initiation of a response.
Inter-response time (IRT): recording the elapsed time between two successive responses.
Implement discontinuous measurements procedures - Answer: Recording only a sample of a behavior
during an observation and dividing an observation into equal duration intervals and scoring the
occurrence or non-occurrence of behavior within each interval.
Partial interval recording: recording whether or not a behavior occurred at any time during an interval of
time.
Whole Interval Recording: observing a client at regular intervals and recording if the behavior occurred
during the entire interval of time.
Momentary Time Sampling: observing a client at pre-determined times at the end of an interval and
recording if the behavior is occurring at the precise moment.
Percent occurrence: used for various skill acquisition programs where 80-90% accuracy determines if the
skill has been acquired.
Trials to Criterion: the number of consecutive opportunities to respond required to achieve a
performance standard.
Discrete Categorization (coding): classifying responses into discrete categories such as severity codes,
duration codes, or independent/prompting codes.
Permanent product recording procedures: - Answer: measuring behavior after it has occurred by
measuring tangible items or the effects a behavior has on the environment.
Demonstrated by: collecting percent occurrence data while watching a video or client during a Discrete
Trial session using a Discrete Trial Data Sheet and calculating the total percentage.
