What is 'per opportunity recording' used for?

'Per opportunity recording' is a method used primarily to assess behavior in defined opportunities. This approach involves measuring and recording the occurrence of a specific behavior each time a particular opportunity arises, allowing for a clear understanding of the context in which the behavior is performed.

When utilizing per opportunity recording, the focus is not just on how often a behavior occurs, but rather on evaluating it against the number of opportunities available for the behavior to occur. This method provides valuable data on behavior performance in a structured way, enabling practitioners to determine the effectiveness of interventions or teaching strategies.

While tracking the frequency of specific behaviors, measuring the duration of engagement, and analyzing trends in recorded data are important aspects of behavior assessment, they do not specifically address the unique focus of per opportunity recording, which emphasizes the relationship between opportunities and behavioral occurrences.
