Permanent product recording can be particularly effective in which scenario?

Permanent product recording is a method of assessing behavior based on the tangible results of that behavior. This approach is particularly effective in scenarios where the outcome or product of a behavior can be observed and measured, allowing for objective data collection.

In the case of completion of a chore made visible, the result of the behavior—such as a clean room or organized space—can be directly observed. This allows practitioners to assess whether the desired behavior has occurred and to what extent. The visibility and permanence of the product support reliable data collection over time, as these outcomes can be revisited and evaluated.

On the other hand, the other options do not align as closely with the concept of permanent product recording. Routine assessments of emotional states do not yield a tangible product that can be documented. Words written in an exercise book may provide some evidence of a behavior but lack the clear outcome aspect that characterizes permanent products. Similarly, a physical demonstration of a skill may showcase the ability at a moment in time, but it does not result in a long-lasting product that can be recorded for future review. Thus, the completion of a chore that is made visible offers a clear, assessable output, making it the ideal scenario for permanent product recording.
