Understanding that behaviour has an antecedent, behaviour and consequence is the first step to changing it. Approximately 12-15% of students display challenging behaviour with a further 1-5% exhibit severe…

Hamlin had applied a theory that infants evaluate others basis on the social behavior. To confirm the theory, the psychologists had used three different experiments methods. The first experiment focused on pushing uphill or downhill attaching the eyes on the piece of wood and placed it on the bottom of the hill, which the infants witness the circle one needs help to get up the hill.

Functional behavior assessment (FBA) is derived from applied behavior analysis (ABA), which is focused on determining specific environmental events or stimuli that are linked with behavior, both appropriate and problematic forms. The purpose of an FBA is to zero in on a behavior and identify the operant function of the behavior. In schools, problem behaviors are often given consequences that actually reinforce the behavior, so by identifying the function of a behavior we can determine why it is…
