Rosa is consulting on a new case with Maya. Rosa comes to the group home where Maya lives, observes her during her morning routine, and collects data on each occurrence of self-injurious behavior per minute. She comes every morning during the week, but each day she does something different: places demands related to Maya’s morning routine, provides praise after tasks, makes disapproving comments, provides breaks, and so on. Rosa continues to collect data on each occurrence of self-injurious behavior and how long it lasts. At the end of the week, Rosa shares the data sheets, graph, and the intervention program she has written with Maya’s family and the director of the group home. Which basic operation of the science of behavior analysis is missing from this example?
