Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, operationally define the target behavior (iv) to ensure clarity and consistency in what is being measured. Next, determine which measurement system you will use (ii) based on the defined behavior. Then, determine a specific place and time for data collection (i) to ensure consistency in measurement conditions. Before beginning intervention, measure the behavior for three to five observation periods (v) to establish a baseline. Finally, regularly graph the data (iii) to monitor progress and adjust the approach as necessary.
