Throughout the entire implementation of the behavior program and during follow-up probes
Correct Answer: Throughout the entire implementation of the behavior program and during the follow-up probes.
A behavioral program should be monitored throughout the implementation phase to see how well it is working and to see if anything needs to be changed. If possible, a behavior analyst should evaluate the effectiveness of the behavioral program after the program is discontinued to ensure the treatment effects are not diminishing. Because you are evaluating the effectiveness of a behavior program, this cannot be done before the behavior program is implemented. (It is important to collect baseline data, but you cannot determine the effectiveness of the intervention until the intervention has been introduced.)*##**##*
