Question	Answer
3 Types of FBA Methods	* Functional (experimental) Analysis * Direct Descriptive FBA * Indirect FBA
Descriptive Functional Behavior Assessment	Direct observations of behavior that are made under naturally occuring conditions.
Advantages of Descriptive Assessment	* Precise measures * May reflect causal relations * Provide useflu information for designing a subsequent functional analysis * Do not disrupt person's routine
Indirect Functional Assessment	* Structured interviews * Checklists * Rating Scales * Questionnaires
Limitations of Descriptive Assessment	* Correlations difficult to detect * Conditional Probability (the likelihood that a target behavior will occur in a given circumstance)
Advantages of Indirect Functional Assessment	* Objective Assessment * Contribute to the development of hypotheses about variables that might occasion or maintain behavior of concern
Limitations of Indirect Functional Assessment	* Information may not have accurate and unbaised recall of behavior and the conditions under which it occured * Or be able to recollect in a way that conforms to requirnment questions
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)	method of assessment for obtaining information about the purposes (functions) a problem behavior serves for a person: results are used to guide the design of an intervention for decreasing the problem behavior and increasing appropriate behavior
Steps to Conducting an FBA	* Gather Data * Analyze Data * Test Hypotheses * Develop Intervention
Functional (Experimental) Analysis	systematic manipulation of antecedents and consequences to create an experimental environment in which to study the presence or absence of problem behaviors not conducted in the context of naturally occurring routines.
