F-07 part 4

Terms for a procedure to determine the function of a behavior by experimentally controlling the independent variables and measuring the target behavior include

Functional analysis, experimental analysis, ANALOGUE assessment and in-stu hypothesis testing

Generally, a scatter plot

can be helpful when the target behavior occurs infrequently**

Three distinct approaches to determine the function of a behavior are

direct assessments, indirect assessments, and functional analyses

An anecdotal assessment is a type of

indirect assessment

The primary ways of obtaining information for a behavioral assessment are

interviews, checklists, tests, and direct observation

In the name of the assessment procedure includes ABC, then

it requires direct observation of the client behavior and recording the antecedent, behavior, and consequence

Behavioral interviews are generally used to

obtain preliminary information

ABC continuous recording is a data collection procedure used to

record which of a set of selected antecedents, behaviors, and consequences takes place during an observation period

ABC narrative recording is a data collection procedure used for

recording any events that take place before a behavior that may be relevant

If the name of the assessment includes "description" or "descriptive" then the assessment procedure

will include direct observation of the client behavior

For a behavioral assessment, a narrative recording should be the same as

a descriptive analysis** an analogue assessment

For a behavioral assessment, a narrative recording should be the same as

all of the above** a descriptive analysis ABC recording an anecdotal recording

Generally, a scatter plot

all of the above** may involve

Initial interviews with people familiar with the individual whose behavior is being assessed can be useful in identifying

all of the above** the impact of problem behaviors on others

A data collection procedure likely to be used when conducting a descriptive assessment

Initial interviews with people familiar with the individual whose behavior is being assessed can be useful in identifying

antecedents and consequences to look for during observation ** subtle variables

"What does the behavior look like?" would be part of

behavioral interview

Information on previous attempts to address the behavior would be gleaned from a

behavioral interview

A parent asserts that he never gives in to escape-maintained tantrums. However, observation data indicate he placates the child. The inaccuracy exemplifies a problem with

behavioral interviews
