Percent change
This measure uses the mean (i.e., average) of the baseline and compares it with the mean of the intervention.
Behavioristic principle
This principle is founded in the theory that behaviors are maintained or increased by the reinforcing events that follow the event or behavior.
Discrepancy analysis
This process was used to identify students with disabilities by comparing a student's cognitive ability with his or her academic achievement to determine if a significant difference between the two exists.

screening test
This type of assessment is a brief test containing items that survey a range of skill levels, domains, or content areas. They are typically used to determine weak areas.
