 Completely forgot what we were doing. I was about ready to start lecturing on stimulus control. We're trying to ascend So I don't know if we can I'm trying to come up with actually let's just do that again One more time just to drive the editing nuts because I think that's gonna show up in my email Ascending baseline folks for those of you that have no idea what it is It's a baseline that's ascending and I I know I do that a lot But sometimes a circular argument is just the best way to explain things That's not true. Don't don't don't ever repeat that. Don't tell anyone that I said that anyway There's a hair on the table shiny balls You never know folks it just Psycho or just weird stuff the stimuli that are oddly salient can take over my life and right now I think that the most salient stimulus should probably be you and the fact that we're talking about an ascending baseline, right? So if you're looking at it on a graph it looks like so, right? So you're tracking your baseline normally you would hope for baseline to be stable that whatever behavior it is to be stable But it might be increasing if it's increasing then you have an ascending baseline I mean it's going up right now You want an example fine start taking someone's baseline right before the holidays and measure how much they drink Preferably that you're working with an adult here so they might be just slowly increasing over time and you're capturing this behavior as a baseline for whatever reason you may have made a mistake because you didn't Wrong time of year to start a baseline But anyway, you have this increasing trend and then maybe after the holidays it starts to level off in an intervention or something Who knows but the point is that baseline is increasing its trend So when you're thinking about Measuring trends and evaluating trends just realize that the ascending baseline is one of those that you would work with Thank you
