In addition to defining the target behavior, the criteria for changing the behavior must also be defined. The criteria must reflect the social significance of the behavior. The outcome criteria should specify the extent of change before intervention efforts begin.

In applied behavior analysis, assessment guides the identification of target behaviors and the development of interventions. A variety of methods are used, including direct observation, interviews, checklists, and tests.

Target behaviors must be defined in such a manner that the behavior can be observed and measured. We can easily observe if Leo is out of his seat. Likewise, thirty minutes is a fixed amount of time that we can easily measure.

Target behaviors should also be observable, measurable, clear, concise, and objective. In cases in which there are many target behaviors, it is important to prioritize them based on which would result in the most value for the person. An example of a target behavior is 'Jane will sit in her seat for sixty minutes.'.

Definition and Criteria. A target behavior is any behavior that has been chosen or 'targeted' for change. A target behavior should be positive. That means that the target behavior should focus on what you would like the child to do as opposed to what you do not want the child to do.

Once a target behavior has been identified, it must be carefully and completely defined in observable and measurable terms. A good definition is objective, clear, and discriminative between what is and what is not an example of the target behavior. Well-written target behavior definitions are necessary in order to accurately and reliably measure behavior and to aggregate, compare, and interpret data.

Answers. Best Answer: For example, a smoker wants to quit smoking, that is the behaviour. They want to change their behaviour and learn not to want to smoke. The behavior to be changed is called the Target Behaviour. You are targeting the behaviour that needs to be changed. Another example.
