Document Summary

Question 1target behavior is behavior that needs to be improved using the behavior modification program. Example from first chapter was, if a university student sets a goal of studying for two hours out of class for each hour spent in class, studying is a target behavior. Dsm-5: provide specific information about which behavior(s) should be assessed. Question 8defining target behaviors clearly, completely, and in measurable terms is an important prerequisite to the design and implementation of behavior modification programs. Does not require an inordinate amount of time. Those providing information might not remember relevant observations accurately. They might have biases that would influence them to provide inaccurate data. It is more accurate than indirect assessment procedures. It provides a means for clearly determining whether the program is. Question 18reactivity refers to the phenomenon where people change their behavior when they know they are being observed by others or through self-recording.
