Duration Data—ANSWER--The length of time a behavior occurs. Specify the time
measurement
Partial Interval—ANSWER--The target behavior occurs for a part of a specified period of time
Whole Interval—ANSWER--The target behavior occurs for the entire duration of a specified
period of time
Permanent Products—ANSWER--Tangible outcomes of specific behaviors
Scatterplot—ANSWER--Recording the occurrence of a particular behavior over an extended
period of time. Indicates a pattern that may be related to time of day, day of week, or

Antecedent—ANSWER--Events/Stimuli that occur prior to behavior
Behaviors—ANSWER--Specify behavior
Consequence—ANSWER--Events/stimuli that occur after the
behavior
Preference Assessments—ANSWER--Determine potential reinforcers to use as a part of a

Reinforcement—ANSWER--target behavior increases
Punishment—ANSWER--target behavior decreases
Positive Reinforcement—ANSWER--Stimulus Added+ Behavior Increases
Negative Reinforcement—ANSWER--Stimulus Removed+ Behavior Increases
Positive Punishment—ANSWER--Stimulus Added+Behavior Decreases
Negative Punishment—ANSWER--Stimulus Removed+Behavior Decreases
Fixed Interval—ANSWER--A specified amount of time has togo by before reinforcement is
