Problem
Identify one target behavior for increase OR decrease, provide an operational definition (Make sure you use the criteria from your operational definition assignment), and identify a data collection method for the selected behavior. In addition, provide a short justification for the data collection method of your choice (i.e., why this method is appropriate) for each scenario. Remember not every response can be appropriately quantified using frequency.
