CONTINUOUS RECORDING • THE A-B-C SEQUENCE OF RECORDING
B STANDS FOR BEHAVIOR • LOOKING FOR SPECIFIC, OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOR • WRITTEN IN DESCRIPTIVE VS EVALUATIVE LANGUAGE • THE BOY THREW HIMSELF DOWN AND BEGAN TO CRY VERSUS THE BOY HAD A TEMPER TANTRUM
A STANDS FOR ANTECEDENT • WHAT WAS OCCURING JUST BEFORE THE BEHAVIOR, WHAT LED UP TO THE BEHAVIOR. • OVERT (IS VISIBLE - CAN BE OBSERVED) • COVERT (IS NOT VISIBLE BUT RATHER INTERNAL.) * THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS
EXAMPLES • OVERT ANTECEDENT- THE BOY’S MOTHER TOLD HIM NO WHEN HE ASKED FOR A TOY. • COVERT ANTECEDENT- THE BOY WAS FEELING DEPRIVED.
C STANDS FOR CONSEQUENCE • WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS AS A RESULT OF THE BEHAVIOR TO THE INDIVIDUAL OR TO OTHERS. • THE BOY WAS IGNORED BY HIS MOTHER. OTHER PEOPLE BEGAN TO FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION ON THE BOY.
CONSEQUENCES • EVERY BEHAVIOR HAS AN ANTECEDENT(S) AND HAS A CONSEQUENCE(S). • OFTEN ELIMINATING THE ANTECEDENT CAN ELIMINATE THE BEHAVIOR, OR A NEW BEHAVIOR CAN BE TAUGHT TO DEAL WITH THE ANTECEDENT. • CONSEQUENCES CAN HELP TO SHAPE THE BEHAVIOR ( + OR -REINFORCMENTS). NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES CAN LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR. • CONSEQUENCES CAN ALSO BE OVERT AND COVERT (VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE)
