Functional Analysis

QuestionAnswer
The purpose of a Functional Assessment is to identify the variables of which behavior is a function
A functional Assessment should guide treatment development
Functional Assessment involves systematic manipulation of environmental factors
Use of Functional Assessment will ___ the likelihood that effective interventions will be selected increase
Functional Analysis is considered best practice
Functional Analysis should be used when this is not clear Descriptive Assessment
SIB is a learned behavior
Functional Analysis realies that the treatment and intervention should be function based and not topopgraphy based
There are 3 test conditions and 1 control condition in a Functional Analysis which are Alone, Social dispproval, task demand, control
problem beahvior results in a break from instructional or work activity Negative Reinforcement, Escape from demands
problem behavior results in verbal reprimands or statements concern of caregivers Postive Reinforcement, Attention from caregivers
problem behavior results in access to preferred items usually as a form of redirection from the problem behavior Positive Reinforcment, Access to tangibles
Problem behavior produces a form of stimulation that reinforces the beahvior in the absence of social consequences Automatic Reinforcement (sensory reinforcement)
Problem behavior is maintained by different consequences Multiple Control
This condition is devoid of the relevent antecedents and consequence related to each hypothesis control condition
Functional Analysis uses this type of graph line graph
If the condition is attention what are the antecendents and consequences no attention / attention
If the condition is escape what are the antecdents and consequences Academic demand / termination of the demand
If the condition is Alone (ignore) what are the antecendent and consequences improverished environment / no social consequences
If the condition is control (play) what are the antecedents and consequences enriched engironment, no demands / no social consequences
If the results are not clearly defined, what might that mean Multiple controls, difficult to discriminate, relevant variables not tested, automatic reinforcment is maintaining the behavior, low rates of behavior is not occuring during the FA
This type of functional analysis involves manipulating antecendents antecendent functional analysis
This type of fucntional analysis is run in a few sessions or is very brief brief functional anylsis
This type of functional analysis helps to clarify the results of low rates of Bx extended session durations
This test condition is implemented sequentially but each is alternated with a control Pairwise - single test and control group
This type of functional analysis aides in determining if undifferentialed rates are due to design problem or automatic reinforcement Extended alone conditions
Pre-session deprivation, divided attention, task novelty, fixed order of sessions, discriminative stimuli (different rooms, therapists), and vary control condition are all all types of Antecedent Manipulations
Evaluating one topography at a time, schedules of reinforcement, quality type of duration etc are all types of Consequence manipulations
Use this type of Functional Analysis if assessment times are limited Brief functional analysis
Use these types of Functional Anaysis if the behavior occurs at very low rates Stimulus control manipulations, extended sessions to increase EO, conduct descriptive assessment to identify idiosyncratic variables
Assessment must be conducted in a naturalistic setting
Use these types of Functional Analysis methods if the behavior poses significant risk and can not be allowed or occur often Latency measures, functional assessment of precursor behavior
Conduct FA when benefits outweights risks, protective procedures are in place, a controlled setting is available, trained staff, The behavioral analyst is experienced, informed consent, and the procedures are reviewed and approved
Functional Analyses allow us to talk about these types of relationships Cause and Effect
Functional Analysis isolates relevant variables
Name a limitation of experimental analyses failure to identify the full range of controlling variables, may shape a new function for the problem behavior, time and labor, specialized training, contrived situations may not stimulate what actually occurs in the natural environment.
These types of consequences may be identified through naturalistic observations idiosyncratic
Problem behaviors may be high in a given condition but only when motivational variables are in effect are called Establishing Operation Effects
If you are testing for social negative reinforcment contingent on problem behavior you should Remove the task demand contingent on the behavior
This type of functional analysis involves that the client is exposed to four conditions repeatedly Multi-Element
Presenting or removing varous environmental events or situations in a repeated and systematic fashion and observing how changes affect persons behavior is done to determine functional relations
What's tested in the alone condition? Automatic reinforcement
Attention is being tested in what condition social disapproval
You should only conduct a FA if Benefits outweigh risks, controlled setting, expertise, staff support
In a FA the control condition allow us to make comparisions to aid in making conclusions
If escape is the maintaining varibale then what is being tested demand
A FA should be used with DD, kids in school, organizations, typical population with mental helath diagnosis
Functional Analysis is a Process
Functional analysis lead to the function of the behavior, increased prevalence of reinforcement based research
Who developed the FA research Iwata et al 1982, Durand and Carr 1992, Kahng et al 2000, Kahng et al 2001
This scale is used to quantify tissue damage Self-Injury Trauma Scale
How can someone identify reinforcers Use an indirect assessment, use direct observation, use reinforcer sampling
This yields a prediction of what stimuli may function as reinforcers in actual training therapy Stimulus preference assessment
Reinforcing efficacy of a single item is tested by comparing levels of a response when it is delivered as a consequence to levels observed during basline is a type of single operant managemetn
A concurrent schedule is use to compare the relative strength of 3 or more reinforcers concurrent-operant arrangement
Name some types of stimulus preference assessments reinforcement survey, ask a client, identify activities, collect data in the environment to see what behaviors occur, ,use verbal assessments or pictural assessment
What is preferred may not be reinforcing False Positive
False Negative What is not preferred may be reinforcing
This type of interview has been shown to lead more positive results Force Choice
By putting someone in a room and collecting data on items that the child approaches and engages in is called Free operant
For someone with developmental delays the most accurate reinforcement assessment is Single Item Presentation
To determine which items are most and least likely to be preferred one should conduct a MSWO - preference hierachy
