- Behavior: An observable or measurable act
- Consequence: A response, action, or event that immediately follows a behavior

Observation Field Work Log
Name _______________________________________
Directions: Please complete the table each hour that you complete your field work. The goal is to observe the behavior interactions of a child/chren and the interacting adult based on the behavior. You will write about the antecedent (what happened before or at the time of the behavior), the behavior (what the child did – what did you see), and the consequence (what did the other child do/teacher do/adult caregiver do). This document is a word document and is editable.
