Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Target behaviors are specific behaviors that are identified and targeted for improvement in a behavior modification program. They are the behaviors that the program is designed to modify or change. The other answer choices are not as appropriate because overt behaviors refer to observable behaviors, covert behaviors refer to internal or hidden behaviors, and cognitive behaviors refer to thought processes and mental activities. While these behaviors may also be targeted for change in some behavior modification programs, they are not the primary focus.
