Note. PTR = Parent Trigger (Demand); CPR = Child Problem Response; PR = Parent Reduces Demand; CAR = Child Appropriate/acceptable Behavior or Reduce Problem Behavior. JNTF = Observed Joint/Lagged Frequencies; CONP = Conditional Probability; ADJR = Adjusted Residual; PVALUE = Probability Value. : Adjusted Residuals approximate conditions of normal distribution
