A client engages in aggression whenever the parent comes home with bags of groceries and starts to unpack the groceries. The parent provides the client with her favorite packet of cookies when the aggression occurs. In the future, the client is more likely to engage in aggression when she sees the parent unpacking groceries. What is the SD (discriminative stimulus) for aggressive behavior?

When multiple persons score the same client using the same tool and then compare each scorer’s results against one another, one can evaluate this;

Comparing the results of an analogue functional analysis to the results of the Functional Analysis Screening tool across individuals diagnosed with autism who engage in repetitive behavior and across individuals diagnosed with  ADHD who engage in repetitive behavior. The results of the FAST and the FA produce the same maintaining variables for both populations. This shows that the FAST has                           for both populations.

Which FA condition tests for an immediate sensory (automatic positive reinforcement) function?

According to Cipani’s Behavior Classification System, which of the following subcategories of functions does NOT represent a socially mediated access function of behavior?

This type of functional assessment was designed for classroom use. It relies heavily on immediate control of the EO and does not appear to be more efficient than standard FA due to embedding of trials throughout natural routines.

In the first published demonstration of the standard analogue assessment by Iwata et al. all of the following functions were assessed EXCEPT;
