Answer: an intervention that focuses on changing conditions or events that
occur before the problem behavior to prevent the behavior from happening
◍ baseline.
Answer: the initial measurement of the target behavior before any
intervention is applied, used as a comparison to future measurements as an
assessment to determine the effectiveness of the intervention
◍ baseline data.
Answer: initial data collected on the frequency, duration, or intensity of a
behavior before any interventions are implemented
◍ In a middle school classroom, a student shows signs of nervousness and
