Refer to the two sets of data that you recorded in the Unit 3 assignment. Make any revisions based on feedback from your instructor so you have a table that reflects the data for each of the two behaviors.
Using the guidelines in Chapter 6 of your Applied Behavior Analysis text, prepare one graph for each recorded behavior. Include data for all of the observation sessions. You will not have condition labels or condition change lines for this assignment. Be sure to include the other five parts of a graph that are described on pages 127–128 of your Applied Behavior Analysis text.
Your first time graphing can be frustrating. You may review the Microsoft Support tutorials that can help with your specific version of Microsoft.
In one document, prepare the following for each of the two target behaviors:
Behavior definition.
Observation method and schedule.
Data recording procedure.
Data table and graph for this behavior.
Important: Copy and paste the table and graph for each behavior into the one document, and address the other questions within this one document.
Discussion on how data informs decision making in ABA.
