F.6 Design and evaluate functional analyses.

A variation of the functional analysis conducted over a shorter period of time by decreasing the duration of each analyzed condition.

A test condition in a functional analysis that assesses for the automatic reinforcement function. In this condition, the client is placed alone in a room, or if there is an

A test condition in a functional analysis that assesses for a socially mediated positive reinforcement function. In this condition the client is initially deprived of attention and attention is delivered

A test condition in a functional analysis that assesses for the socially mediated negative reinforcement (escape) function. In this condition, a non-preferred demand is presented and removed for a predetermined

The non-test condition of a functional analysis, against which behavior in the test conditions is compared. In this condition, free time and leisure materials are freely available to the client

A functional assessment activity during which the antecedents and consequences in the client’s natural environment are arranged and systematically manipulated so that their individual effects on challenging behavior can be

A variation of the functional analysis that measures the time between the presence of an EO to the onset of the challenging behavior. Each trial is terminated as soon as

A variation of the functional analysis conducted in natural settings to explore the relevant stimuli present in natural settings that can impact challenging behavior.

A variation of the functional analysis that analyzes the precursors to challenging behavior (i.e., responses that reliably occur close in time before the challenging behavior). Each trial is terminated as

A variation of the functional analysis that uses an Interview Informed Synthesized Contingency Analysis (IISCA) to hypothesize the contingencies that may maintain challenging behavior and then testing those hypothesized contingencies.
