Descriptive assessment (another name)
Direct descriptive functional assessment
Functional Analysis (another name)
experimental analysis
Preliminary Indirect Assessment
Interviews and rating scales
Descriptive Assessment
Direct observation of behavior and environmental events in real-life contexts
Structured Assessment
Manipulation of antecedent events in natural settings
Functional Analysis
Systematic manipulations of environmental events and observation of target behavior in a controlled setting
Descriptive Assessment Procedures
Scatterplot Analysis
Narrative Recording
ABC Data Collection
Data collection of target behavior under different contexts/conditions
Scatterplot
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 natural settings
Narrative Recording
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 and ABC Charting
Allows one to start to identify idiosyncratic antecedents and consequences

Sequence Analysis
A systematic presentation and examination of information or data regarding target behavior and its stimulus conditions in an A-B-C format
