| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| brief functional analysis | An analysis in which only one or two 5- to 10-min sessions are conducted for each condition. Brief functional analysis may reveal a functional relation in fewer sessions than a full functional analysis. |
| conditional probability | The likelihood that a target behavior will occur in a given circumstance; |
| contingency reversal | Exchanging the reinforcement contingencies for two topographically different responses. |
| contingency space analysis | A graphic display of the probability of one event given the occurrence (or not) of another event. Contingencies are considered positive , negative , or neutral. |
| descriptive functional behavior assessment | Direct observation of problem behavior and the antecedent and consequent events under naturally occurring conditions. |
| functional analysis (as part of FBA) | 1. denotes demonstrations of functional relations between environmental variables and behavior. 2. entails experimentally arranging antecedents and consequences representing those in the person’s natural routines. |
| functional behavior assessment (FBA) | A systematic method of assessment for obtaining information about the purposes (functions) a problem behavior serves for a person. |
| functionally equivalent | Serving the same function or purpose; different topographies of behavior are functionally equivalent if they produce the same consequences. |
| indirect functional assessment | Structured interviews, checklists, rating scales, or questionnaires used to obtain information from people who are familiar with the person exhibiting the problem behavior. |
| interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis | A variation of functional analysis designed to increase efficiency. In the test condition, multiple contingencies are implemented simultaneously when the problem behavior is demonstrated. |
| latency-based functional analysis | An analysis in which each session is terminated as soon as a problem behavior occurs. The index of problem behavior is the latency from onset of the establishing operation to the first occurrence of the problem behavior. |
| scatterplot recording | A procedure for recording the extent to which a target behavior occurs more often at particular times than others. |
| trial-based functional analysis | An analysis in which a series of trials is interspersed among classroom activities. Each trial consists of two 1-minute components: (a) test condition, and (b) control condition. |
