Study Notes

Aberrant Behavior

  • Aberrant behavior refers to actions that may cause harm to oneself or others.
  • Up to 50% of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) engage in self-injurious behavior.

Stereotypic Behavior

  • Stereotypic behavior can interfere with the learning process.

Definitions

  • Operational Definition: A clear, observable description of behavior.
  • Functional Definition: An outline of environmental changes related to the behavior.

Importance of Definitions

  • Operational definitions enhance the accuracy of data collection and behavior scoring.

Functions of Behavior

  • Common functions identified in functional analysis include:
    • Access to attention
    • Access to tangibles
    • Escape
    • Automatic reinforcement
  • Another potential behavioral function is control.

Behavioral Assessment Methods

  • Indirect measures of aberrant behavior are referred to as second hand observation.
  • Collecting A-B-C (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) data is known as first hand observation.

Purpose of Functional Behavior Assessment

  • The main objective is to identify the function behind the behavior.

Active Listening Components

  • Active listening consists of three components: what we do, what we say, and what we observe.

Indirect Observation Techniques

  • The indirect method "Laundry list" involves questions like, "Was he screaming, hitting, or throwing objects?"

Direct Observation Steps

  • The second step of direct observation involves accurately describing the behavior observed.

Functional Analysis Efficacy

  • Functional analysis is viewed as the most precise method for determining the function of a behavior.
  • Most studies indicate that functional analysis can lead to successful treatment interventions.

Conditions in Functional Analysis

  • Attention condition: A learner receiving high fives as a reward for aberrant behavior.
  • Tangible condition: A learner receiving a toy for displaying aberrant behavior.
  • Escape condition: A learner being given a break from demands as a consequence for aberrant behavior.

Limitations of Functional Analysis

  • A concern with standard functional analyses is their lack of occurrence in natural settings.

Proactive Strategies

  • A progressive approach to managing problem behaviors recommends proactively teaching necessary skills to handle the conditions typically encountered in functional analyses.
