A comprehensive overview of the key concepts and techniques related to functional behavior assessment (fba) and functional analysis (fa). It covers topics such as the different types of fba (descriptive, indirect, and functional analysis), the purpose and components of each assessment method, the importance of identifying the function of a behavior, the distinction between contrived and naturally existing contingencies, the concept of behavioral cusps, and the role of independent and dependent variables in experimental design. The document also discusses the importance of using fba and fa to inform the development of effective, functionally equivalent interventions. Overall, this document serves as a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of applied behavior analysis, psychology, and special education who are interested in understanding and addressing challenging behaviors.

escaped condition - Correct Answer-A condition in a traditional FA in which participant behavior is reinforced with escape from demands play condition - Correct Answer-A condition in a traditional FA in which a participant has free access to reinforcing activities. (control condition) functionally equivalent - Correct Answer-serves the same purpose or produces the same consequences consequences - Correct Answer-different behaviors are functionally equivalent if they produce the same ___________. descriptive FBA - Correct Answer-An assessment that includes direct observation in naturally occurring conditions correlated - Correct Answer-Descriptive FBAs can identify events that are ________ with the target behavior and suggest hypotheses. high - Correct Answer-In a descriptive assessment, event, that have a _________ degree of correlation with the target behavior suggest a functional hypothesis. descriptive FBA - Correct Answer-The therapist is assessing the function of behavior by observing and recording in the natural enviornment. direct observation - Correct Answer-Indirect observations are "indirect" because they don't involve __________ __________ of the behavior indirect FBA - Correct Answer-The therapist conducts an FBA where they interview the client's parents about the behavior alone condition - Correct Answer-A condition in a traditional FA in which the participant is alone in a room without access to reinforcing activities attention condition - Correct Answer-A condition in a traditional FA in which participant behavior is reinforced with attention indirect FBA - Correct Answer-An assessment that obtains information from persons who are familiar with the organism emitting the target behavior
checklists - Correct Answer-Indirect FBAs can be structured interviews, __________, rating scales, or questionnaires subjective - Correct Answer-the term behavioral cusp is _______ and not a universally agreed upon term. behavioral cusp - Correct Answer-crawling is a good example of a(n) _________ ________, because crawling can expose the learner to new reinforcers and punishers contrived contingency - Correct Answer-Any contingency of reinforcement or punishment designed and implemented by a practitioner naturally existing contingencies - Correct Answer-contrived contingencies should be used only when ______ ________ __________ are not available descriptive - Correct Answer-there are three methods of FBA, indirect, ______, and functional analysis source - Correct Answer-An FBA is used to identify the types and _______ of reinforcement for behaviors function - Correct Answer-functionally equivalent means an intervention should serve the same _______ as the the problem behavior functionally equivalent - Correct Answer-the therapist creates an intervention that is ___________ __________ to the current contingency, it gives access to the same functions naturally - Correct Answer-A contrived contingency does not occur _________ contrived - Correct Answer-the therapist reinforcing waving with a Skittle is an example of a(n) ______ contingency reinforcers - Correct Answer-behavioral cusps expose the individual's repertoire to new environments, especially new _________ and punishers behavioral cusps - Correct Answer-Expose the individual's repertoire to new environments functional analysis - Correct Answer-an FBA where antecedents and consequences are arranged so their effects can be observed and measured escape - Correct Answer-functional analysis has three test conditions: contingent attention, contingent _______, and alone
independent variable - Correct Answer-experimental control is established when changes in the _______ _______ produce reliable changes in the dependent variable independent - Correct Answer-the variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher functional control - Correct Answer-reliable changes in the dependent variable can show
