Document Summary
Measuring change allows you to determine if the behaviour modification procedure has actually implemented a change. Graph: visual representation of the occurrence of a behaviour over time. Allows you to document behaviours over time and also compare. Follow up period: the long period after treatment has been implemented. Time and behaviour are the two variables illustrated. Gives you the time and the level of the behaviour at that time. 6 components are necessary for a graph to be complete. Phase lines indicates a change to treatment (from no treatment to treatment or from treatment to no treatment) Phase labels usually no treatment (baseline) and treatment (behavioural contract particular treatment the student is using to increase studying) Data points shouldn"t be connected across the phase lines. Functional relationship: when a researcher shows that a behaviour modification procedure causes a target behaviour to change.
