Unit 8 Flashcards
A type of behavioral assessment used to
determine functional relations between
challenging behavior and environmental events.
Functional Assessment
functional behavioral assessment (FBA)
Functional assessment
Direct descriptive functional assessment
Descriptive Assessment
experimental analysis
Functional Analysis
Interviews and rating scales
Preliminary Indirect Assessment
Direct observation of behavior and environmental
events in real-life contexts
Descriptive Assessment
Manipulation of antecedent events in natural
settings
Structured Assessment
Systematic manipulations of environmental
events and observation of target behavior in a
controlled setting
Functional Analysis
Scatterplot analysis Narrative recording ABC data collection Data collection of target behavior under different contexts/conditions
Descriptive Assessment Procedures
A data collection form for problem behavior and
the intervals of time behavior occurred.
It provides a graphic display of data in a grid
format.
It is used to identify patterns of responding in
natural settings.
Scatterplot
Observer produces a written narrative of an
individual’s responses throughout a specific
period of time and a description of the
environmental conditions under which the
responses were emitted
Narrative Recording
Allows one to start to identify idiosyncratic
antecedents and consequences
Narrative Recording and ABC charting
A systematic presentation and/or examination of
information or data regarding the target behavior
and its conditions.
Pattern Analysis
A systematic presentation and examination of
information or data regarding target behavior and
its stimulus conditions in an A-B-C format
Sequence Analysis
