    perceived need solves identified problem/s

5
4 Factor Model
  • Fluency
  • Frequency of response actual total number of
    responses to a stimulus
  • Flexibility
  • Frequency of categories of responses actual
    total number of types of responses
  • Originality
  • Statistical infrequency of response for a given

Issues
