ENTIRE ACADEMIC FIELD COVERAGE
Frequency. Answer: Count of each instance
◉ Duration. Answer: Time spent engaged in single instance of target
behavior
◉ Latency. Answer: Time from onset of stimulus to onset of response
◉ discontinuous measurement procedures. Answer: Recording a
sample of instances of the target behavior according to predetermined
schedule (e.g., momentary time sampling, partial interval, etc.)
◉ Partial interval recording. Answer: Recording if the target behavior
occurred at any point in time in a predetermined interval
◉ permanent product recording procedures. Answer: Recording
performance of a skill based on observing a finished product, not the
actual performance of the skill
◉ preference assessments. Answer: Conducting formal assessment(s)

is presented again without the already selected item(s) and the client
selects again. Process continues until all items are chosen or client
stops choosing items. The FULL array is presented 3-5 times and
selection percentage is calculated to give preference gradient.
◉ ABC Data. Answer: Data recorded on the immediate antecedent

◉ Rating Scale. Answer: Structured assessment form with questions
regarding various functions of challenging behavior used to identify
likely function(s) to be completed by primary caregivers and others

◉ Reinforcement. Answer: The process of providing a reinforcer
contingent on the client engaging in a behavior that you want to
increase
◉ Reinforcer. Answer: A stimulus (item, activity, statement, etc.)
