Wait, are we really measuring independent of practice effects? Sounds tricky!

D is crucial! Can't measure without controlling for those effects.

C seems a bit off to me. Why start broad?
NA

I think B makes the most sense. Criteria should be set before the intervention.

I definitely remember discussing how to measure outcomes, but I’m unsure if it should be independent of practice effects.

I feel like ecological assessments are important for generalization, but I’m not confident if that’s the best answer here.

I think option C sounds familiar, like we talked about starting broad and then narrowing down, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember something about developing criteria before the intervention, but I'm not sure if that's the only important part.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The wording is kind of tricky. I'm leaning towards D, since the criteria should be measured independently, but I'm not totally sure. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Okay, I've got this! The key is that the behavior analysts are trying to use the simplest intervention possible, so the outcome criteria should be developed first, before the intervention. I'm going with B.
LY

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I'm debating between B and C, since the criteria could start broad and then get more targeted. I'll have to think it through a bit more.

This question seems straightforward - I think the answer is B, since the outcome criteria should be developed before the intervention is implemented.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The question states that the behavior analysts are trying to use the simplest intervention, so the outcome criteria should be developed first, before the intervention is identified. B is the clear answer here.

I remember we practiced similar questions, and I think there are keywords in the manifest that can hint at the number of activities.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking us to lock all fields on Sheet2 when the button on Sheet1 is clicked. So the correct answer is C - add the Activate Sheet action for Sheet2 and the Lock All action in the Button Properties.

Wait, so we're not allowed to use the tried-and-true method of holding our breath until the client changes their behavior? Darn, there goes my plan.
