Cindy bites her nails but wants to stop. The behavior she wants to change (biting her nails) is called the target behavior.
A target behavior is any behavior that has been chosen or 'targeted' for change. A target behavior should be positive. That means that the target behavior should focus on what you would like the child to do as opposed to what you do not need the child to do. If a figure would like their child to learn how to eat with a fork, then “eating with a fork” is the goal behavior. Likewise, if a trainer would like her pupil to prevent wandering around the lecture room, then the targeted conduct could be, “sitting in a chair.” typically, we behavior analysts want to keep things positive.
Targeted behaviors can include non-compliance, tantrums, and self-injurious behaviors. By creating a BIP after an assessment of the client, behaviour analysts are able to decide and describe the target behavior and create a remedy plan to lower the occurrence of said behavior.
