Multiple Probe Design

Multiple Probe Design

1. Employs a multiple baseline assessment strategy of the acquisition of behavioral performances

2. An initial assessment of the learner's performance prior to training

   • measuring the learner's performance on every skill before training that skill
     • measuring the learner's performance on every skill aster mastery performance is achieved on each skill

3. A multiple baseling design with discontinuous data collection.

4. It is needed to select skills that are not going to be altered when the intervention is applied to the other targeted skills

5. similiar but functionally independent behaviors

6. Baseline is not collected continuously

7. ASSUMPTION: frequent measurement of a behavior that is not in the learner's repertoire is unnecessary.
