Study Notes

Observing and Recording Behavior

  • Behavior modification involves targeting specific behaviors for development.
  • Behavior is defined as actions and mannerisms of an individual, whether conscious or unconscious.
  • A drill involves identifying if a given situation regarding a student's responsibilities is valid or invalid and explaining the stance.
  • Student K has numerous responsibilities (working student, student, leader) and is having difficulty balancing them, failing to fulfill their leadership role in one subject.
  • The validity of criticizing Student K for not fulfilling their leadership responsibilities is questionable, considering their multifaceted responsibilities.

Behavioral Assessment

  • Behavioral assessment involves distinct methods:
    • Direct Assessment - observing and recording a client's behavior immediately.
    • Indirect Assessment - interviewing the client about their behavior.
  • Direct assessment is preferred over indirect assessment because it does not rely on the client's memory.
  • These assessments are used as methods to develop behavior.

Steps for Developing Behavior Modification Program

  • Defining Target Behavior: Target behavior is the observable behavior to be observed, recorded and studied. To observe a behavior, a defined behavior definition is needed.
  • Determining Logistics of Recording:
    • The observer monitors the client.
    • In some cases, the client becomes the observer (self-monitoring).
  • When and Where to Record:
    • Natural Setting - observing the client in their daily environment (e.g., home, classroom).
    • Analogue Setting - observing in a place foreign to the client (e.g., clinic, consultation room).

Choosing Record Method

  • Continuous Recording - This involves constantly recording every behavior that occurs during the observation.
  • Product Recording - This emphasizes the outcome of the behavior occurring.
  • Interval Recording - This analyzes the behavior's occurrence or non-occurrence within specific time intervals.
  • Time Sample Recording - Similar to interval recording but with non-consecutive intervals of time.
  • There are four dimensions of the target behavior (frequency, duration, latency, intensity).

Choosing Recording Instrument

  • The recording instrument is the tool used to record the target behavior.
  • This includes forms like frequency data sheets, duration data sheets, and interval data sheets.

Interobserver Agreement (IOA)

  • Observers should concur on a client's behavioral definition.
  • This is important because consistent understanding among observers is crucial.
