| Question | Answer |
| Aberrant Behavior | Any behavior client engages in that could harm themselves, others, interefere with learning opportunities, interfere with socialization. |
| Stereotypic Behavior | Repetitive body movements or movement with objects. Various topographies. Core diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). High prevalence rate. Problems with stereotypic Behavior decreases learning, socially stigmatizes the client, and decreases quality of life. |
| Self Injurious Behavior | Any behavior that may result in potential harm to student. Many different topographies. Various reasons: physiological (feels good), operant. Common forms: head banging, hand biting, scratching. Up to 50% engage in SIB |
| Aggression | Any Behavior that may cause harm to another person. Various topographies. Up to 68% engage in this behavior. |
| Operational Definition | Defining Behavior in observable terms ensuring that objective Data can e recorded. Anyone can read and understand. (Pass grandmother test). Scope of definition - what's included, what's excluded. Function vs. Topography |
| function | Defines changes in environment. Wy use it? when function is priority, easier for recording, entire response class. |
| Topography | defines the form of the behavior. Why use? Cannot access functional outcomes. Behavior does not produce outcome. |
| Importance of operational Definition | So everyone knows what behavior loops like. All can measure the behavior the same. Can properly treat the behavior. takes time to create. write them out to determine loop hole. let at least 2 others evaluate to ensure clarity. Observe several times to ensure definition indeed captures the behavior. |
| Functions of Behavior | Entire purpose is finding a function. Behavioral consequences. |
| Payoffs include: | attention avoidance control escape communication isolation anger release self stimulation |
| cost includes: | reprimands instructions loss of privileges ignoring time-out |
| Historically evaluated Functions | Access to social attention (e.g. screaming -> talking, consoling, attention, reprimand. Access to tangibles or preferred activities. escape, delay, reduction, avoidance. Automatic - occurs with all things available. |
| AP Method: Additional Functions | Control (environment) Respondent - fear, anger, stress, medical reasons synthesized - combined (escape -> attention) |
| Function Behavioral Assessment (FBA's) | Second hand observation First hand observation (ABC's) Functional Analysis (supervised) |
| Main Components of FBA | clear description of aberrant Behavior. Describe when it will/will not occur (settings, setting events, times). The consequences that maintain behavior. Why behavior is occurring DATA! |
| Functional Analysis | systemic evaluation, slients behavior, environment. Used to determine the functions of behaior. Final componant to FBA. Interview, direct observations, Functional Analysis. This is themost precise way. Comparing target behavior across different environmental conditions. Must use research design. Must have supervision to conduct. |
| Types of Analysis | Attention Condition Tangible Condition Demand/Escape Condition Alone Condition |
| Concerns with Traditional FBA Model | Behaviors in isolation Behaviors co-occur in nature. Safety undifferentiated results. Analogue conditions. natural setting but known to be precise. |
