Once the learner makes a correct response, provide the reinforcer and then record the details of the trial on the data sheet. Remember to follow these rules when completing the data sheet:
- If the learner answers correctly the first time without a prompt, circle “I” for independent.
- If the learner requires a prompt to answer correctly, circle the type of prompt required to bring about the correct response. Circle “G” for a gestural prompt, “P” for a partial physical prompt, or “F” for a full physical prompt. Do not circle all of the prompt levels used; only circle the one that brought about the correct response.
Once the data are entered, move on to the next probe trial until all are completed.
