Feedback and goal setting are behavior analytic procedures that can be used to improve individual performance on task completion and habit formation. Feedback in the form of visual graphs can help to both measure performance and determine corrective actions. Goal setting can be used to specifically target performance criteria for optimization and correction. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of both feedback in isolation and in combination with a goal setting intervention using a multiple baseline across participants design as well as to affirm the usefulness of telehealth as a medium for a goal setting intervention. Participants set a longterm goal to achieve by the end of the study as well as a short-term goal each week. Running distance was tracked using the application Strava. Results indicated that for the majority of participants weekly goal setting increased performance above that of the feedback provided by the application alone and validated the usefulness of telehealth as a goal setting medium.
