Functional assessment |
Is important because it helps a family or teacher address the severe problem behavior of a person in their care. It increases treatment precision & efficacy. Why he or she engaged in the behavior |
|
|
Indirect assessment |
There is no direct observation of behavior, takes the form of rating scales, questionnaires, interviews |
|
|
Descriptive assessment |
There is direct observation of behavior but w/o any manipulating of the environmental conditions takes multiple forms, fly on the wall assessment |
|
|
Functional analysis |
There is direct observation of behavior & manipulation of same environmental event |
|
|
How open ended interviews can be used to design a functional analysis |
Allows behavior analysis to to discover common unique variables that may evoke or maintain problem behavior |
|
|
How is a functional analysis related to getting an allergy test |
They both are testing to see which environmental condition will give rise to a tolerable & short lived worsening of behavior. Will repeat behavior until they are confident in the environmental conditions that are giving rise to the problem. |
|
|
The assessment content |
Soft toys should be included for children who are reported to break or throw toys |
|
|
Proper scheduling |
Of putative reinforcers in the test and control conditions will create safe environments for themselves and the person being analyzed. |
|
|
Address dangerous behavior |
Has already been described because they are the same tactics available for decreasing the overall analysis duration |
|
|
#4 |
The decision which behaviors will be scheduled to receive the putative reinforcers |
|
|
How to identify problem with low rate |
Solution identify the problem, initiating functional analysis |
|
|
5 things that should be suggested during functional analysis |
1.) conduct a thorough open ended interview and brief observation 2.) alternate a single test condition designed from the info 3.) select only typographically similar behavior that can be safely exhibited as the target of analysis 4.) assign salient diacritics stimuli to the test and control conditions 5.) schedule consequences to occur immediately following each target behavior & withhold consequences For other behaviors |
