Behavioral observation at a person's home, workplace, or school isn't always possible or practical, so clinicians will sometimes arrange an analog assessment. Which of the following are examples of analog assessments? Check all that apply: - Showing a sexual offender a film with sexual content - Observing a person who compulsively hoards in their home - A therapist using hypnosis with a traumatized patient to reproduce a situation that mimics aspects of the initial trauma Formal behavioral observations involve identifying specific behaviors that are, that is, those that have an established operational definition. Here is an example of how a clinician may conduct a behavioral assessment: A teacher has complained repeatedly about a student, Teresa, who throws things at students in class. The clinician observes Teresa in class and notices that she always throws things at children who have just called her a name. Teresa has good aim and often hits and injures the children at whom she is throwing things. After being hit, the child usually stops calling Teresa names. Identify the target behavior in the scenario from the following choices: - The other child no longer calling Teresa names - Teresa throwing something at another student - A child calling Teresa a name
