Question

true or false: because outcome recording does not involve recording the behavior as it occurs, it is not a form of direct observation.

Answer 1

False.

Outcome recording is a form of direct observation, even though it does not involve recording the behavior as it occurs in real-time. Outcome recording focuses on recording the results or outcomes of observed behaviors rather than the behaviors themselves. It still involves observing and documenting behaviors, making it a form of direct observation. The key distinction is that it focuses on the consequences or outcomes of behaviors rather than the behaviors in progress.
