All of the following are indirect assessments except...
A. Interviews
B. Checklists
C. Conditional Probability
D. Rating Scales
C. Conditional Probability
Conditional Probability: Calculates the likelihood that a given PB will occur in any given circumstance; calculate the proportion of occurrences of the PB that were preceded by the specified antecedent and proportion for the occurrences of the PB that were followed by a specified consequence. The closer the conditional probability is to 1.0 the stronger the hypothesis is that the event in question (antecedent/ consequent variable) is maintaining the PB; identifies temporal relations between the PB and potential maintaining variables.
Ex. if the learner cried 10 times and this behavior was followed by the delivery of a cookie 9 times; the conditional probability that crying is followed by the delivery of a cookie is .9.
This may be misleading because it is possible that if the behavior is maintained by intermittent reinforcement the behavior may occur even if it is not consistently followed by its maintaining variable; the relation may not be detected or a relationship may be detected that does not exist
