question 11

Multiple Choice

In time-based methods of recording and reporting behavior, duration recording involves:

• B)observing the amount of assistance or help required to admit the target behavior.
• C)using the number of opportunities to perform target behaviors.
• D)measuring the length of time from when a behavior begins to its termination.
