www. interventioncentral. org Conditional Probabilities Observation Form During a traditional Antecedent-Behavior. Consequence (‘ABC’) recording, the observer writes a running account of a student’s behaviors and the classroom events that appear to trigger, or to act as consequences of, that behavior. A drawback of ABC recordings is that they may not show clear relationships between behaviors and the consequences that reinforce those behaviors. . . Jim Wright
www. interventioncentral. org Conditional Probabilities Observation Form The Conditional Probabilities Observation Form (based upon a description from Eckert, Martens, & Di Gennaro, 2005) allows the observer to compute and chart the conditional probability that a specific consequence is contingent on a target student behavior. This information can be useful in completing a Functional Behavioral Assessment and in designing behavioral interventions. Jim Wright
