Q

4 limitations of FA

A

May not include relevant test conditions
May not identify situational features occasioning problem behavior

16
Q

5 FA best practice techniques during analysis

A

Used fixed sequences
Use different Sds for each condition (discriminative stimulus)
Wait for problem behavior to end before next session
No or low-preference toys in attention and alone conditions
Use intrinsic items

17
Q

3 FA best practice techniques for data interpretation

A

Graph topographies separately
Graph responding during relevant MO only
Structured criteria

18
Q

3 antecedent modifications to clarify FA results

A

Location
Divided attention
Difficulty of demands
Conditioned correlated stimuli

19
Q

2 consequence modifications to clarify FA results

A

Type of attention delivered

Which behaviors receive consequences

20
Q

3 design modifications to clarify FA results

A

Pairwise
Session duration
Extended alone

21
Q

4 categories of idiosyncratic variables

A

Antecedents
Consequences
MO effects
Person variables

22
Q

2 antecedent idiosyncratic variables

A

Diverted attention

Attention, but only from certain individuals

23
Q

Consequence idiosyncratic variables

A

Unrelated to typically tested behavioral functions

24
Q

Motivational operation (MO) effects

A

Problem behavior high in condition when certain MOs are in effect

25
Q

Person variables

A

Person-specific relations between environment and behavior

26
Q

2 questions to ask about high-risk behavior

A

Do benefits outweigh risks?

Are there protective measures to manage risk?

27
Q

3 FA variations for high-risk behavior

A

Protective procedures (blocking, equipment)
Precursor FA
Latency FA

28
Q

Precursor

A

Behavior that reliably precedes another

29
Q

Precursor FA

A

FA contingencies placed on precursor behavior instead of high-risk behavior

30
Q

Latency FA

A

FA only allows behavior to occur once in a given session

31
Q

3 barriers to FA methodology

A

Limited time
Limited control over environment
Staff with inadequate training

32
Q

Single function or brief FA

A

FA solution for limited time to conduct

33
Q

Trial-based FA

A

FA solution for limited control over environment

34
Q

Train others to conduct FA

A

FA solution for staff with inadequate training

35
Q

2 general FA modifications for young children

A

Use caregivers as therapists

Conditions based on those observed in him

36
Q

FA modifications for ASD diagnostic symptoms

A

FA conditions set up for:

social escape, sensory escape, access to rituals/repetitive behavior, stereotypy
