Functional Analysis Conditions

Attention Condition:

Basic Set Up:

client does not recieve attention.

client recieves attention contingent upon aberrant Behavior

typically therapist is busy with another task e.g. reading or writing.

once problem behavior occures provide some sort of attention.

where in escalation cycle does behavior occur?

what are the precursors?

actual aberrant behavior?

Tangible Condition:

Basic Set Up:

clinician deprives access to tangable item.

provide tangible items contingent on abberrent behavior.

Therapist provides attention non-contingently.

has items out of reach.

once AB occurs, ovide item.

where in the escalation cycle does behavior occur?

what are precursors?

actual abberrant Behavior?

Demand/Escape Condition:

Basic Set Up:

therapist provides client a different task.

Once abb. behavior is displayed task stops.

Therapist has to ensure that it is non preffered work.

Prompt them through work.

Short break between problem behavior and work.

where in the escalation cycle does behavior occur?

what are precursors?

actual abberrant Behavior?

Alone Condition:

Basic Set Up:

child left alone in room

child has nothing to do.

nothing occures when problem behavior happens.

Therapist must keep child safe.

where in the escalation cycle does behavior occur?

what are precursors?

actual abberrant Behavior?

Concerns with traditional FBA Model

baviors in isolation

behaviors co-occur

safety

undifferentiated results

analogue conditions

natural setting

But:

known to be precise

evolution

IISCA - informed interview synthasised contingency analysis

Now called practical functional assesment.

Components

no descriptive asssesment

no closed ended assessment

use an open ended interview

not using standard approach

two conditions

synthesize multiple contingencies

open ended interview

build rapport

let person know they are experts on child

questions

what are the most concerning problematic behaviors?

listen for establishing opperations

analysis

test condition

control condition

leads to effective treatment.

Next Step in Evolution Process

The Big 4

attention

Escape

access/tangible

automatic

There are other functions

control

emotional responce

Be proactive

ach all the functions to clients

teach prior to behavior.

Reative

tch all functions to clients

conduct in moment assesment

proceed based upon what function is occuring

functions change moment to moment

functions do co-occur

role of RBT: ASSIST. Implement behavior reduction plan. Implement skill aquisition.
