This second course in a three-course sequence continues to introduce the student to functional behavioral assessment processes and tools utilized by behaviorologists, behavior analysts, and behavior technologist in evaluating problematic animal behavior in preparation for constructing and implementing a contingency engineering plan to resolve the problem. It explores the next stage in the functional behavioral assessment process: direct observation (including measures and measurement systems and the tracking of behavior quantitatively, establishing a baseline, analyzing level, trend, and variance and representing behavior-related data graphically). Direct observation Measures of behavior Measurement systems Tracking behavior quantitatively Establishing a baseline Analyzing level, trend, and variance Representing behavior data graphically
