    • What is essential for the observer when recording behaviour?

  • To have a concrete definition of the target behaviour (correct)
  • To choose a recording instrument without defining the target behaviour
  • To have a general idea of the target behaviour
  • To register the occurrence of the behaviour when it is convenient

    • What is a benefit of measuring the target behaviour before and after treatment?

  • To ensure that the treatment plan is implemented properly
  • To develop a treatment plan without evaluating the target behaviour
  • To determine whether the given treatment plan has worked or failed (correct)
