| behavior checklist | A checklist that provides descriptions of specific skills and the conditions in which each skill should be observed. Checklists can observe singular or multiple behaviors or skill areas. Usually use Likert scale to rate responses |
| Behavioral Assessment | A form of assessment that uses a full range of inquiry methods (observation, interview testing, and the systematic manipulation of antecedent and consequent controlling variables. Designed to discover resources and obstacles that surround the possible tar |
| Behavioral cusp | A behavior that has sudden dramatic consequences that extend well beyond the idiosyncratic change itself it exposes the person to new environments and stimulus controls |

| topography based definition | defines instances of the targeted response class by the shape or form of the behavior |
