Behavior and Skill Acquisition Target Default Settings Follow

This article will describe the default configurations of each type of behavior and skill acquisition target option.

When adding a new target to a program, you will see that you have options of what type of target to create.  You are not strictly limited to these types, these are just most commonly used in Motivity.  

 

Behavior Targets

When you click on Behavior Targets, you will see options to create Rate per Hour, Total Duration, or Interval.

 

Rate per Hour

Default configurations include:

• Instrument = Count
• Opportunity Outcome = None
• Session Outcome = None
• Transition = Does not transition

Total Duration

Default configurations include:

• Instrument = Duration - Stopwatch
• Opportunity Outcome = None
• Session Outcome = None
• Transition = Does not transition

Interval

Default configurations include:

• Exercise = On an interval
• Instrument = Custom prompts
• Opportunity Outcome = Success if score is 0
• Session Outcome = Calculates average
• Transition = Does not transition

Skill Acquisition Targets

When you click on Skill Acquisition Targets, you will see options to create Trial by Trial, Integer, or Task Analysis

 

Trial by Trial (% correct)

Default configurations include:

• Instrument = Pass-Fail
• Opportunity Outcome = Success if score is 100
• Session Outcome = 80% across 5 trials
• Transition = Does not transition

Integer (% correct)

Default configurations include:

• Instrument = Integer (range 0-100)
• Opportunity Outcome = Success if score is at least 80
• Session Outcome = Calculates average
• Transition = Does not transition

Task Analysis

Default configurations include:

• Instrument = Multiple pass-fail
• Opportunity Outcome = Success if average is 100
• Session Outcome = Calculates average
• Transition = Does not transition

Uniform Targets

When selecting Uniform Targets, you will select if you are creating uniform behavior or skill acquisition targets.  You will then specify which of the behavior or skill acquisition targets you will be creating.

 

This will create a uniform target with the default configurations of whichever target type you chose.  To learn more about uniform targets, refer to this help article.

**Important to note**  After creating a new target, you are able to edit any and all configurations to best fit your needs.  These default configurations were chosen due to the frequency they are generally used for each target type.  They do not restrict your creative ability on Motivity.
