Why is Hanley so against the use of certain indirect and all descriptive assessments to make decisions about treatments, particularly if they are used alone (without a functional analysis)?
They can waste valuable time which could be used to start treatment
They are notoriously poor at identifying the function of behaviour
He has yet to see a published article using direct assessments alone to identify an effective treatment
All of the above are reasons Hanley pointed to.
Alternative appropriate behaviors that serve the same function for an individual:
Always require the same amount of response effort as the problem behavior
Have the same topography as the problem behavior.
Always involve skills the individual already possesses.
Produce the same reinforcer for the individual as the problem behavior.
Undifferentiated results obtained in a functional analysis are considered inconclusive and require further analysis or can indicate that a behavior is maintained by automatic reinforcement.
True
False
A functional analysis is comprised of three conditions: contingent attention, contingent escape, and alone.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of/problem with functional analyses:
They may temporarily strengthen problem behaviour
They may result in the behaviour acquiring new functions
They are completely inflexible in terms of not being able to change the conditions.
They require a lot of time, effort, and professional expertise
Why is it more humane to determine the function of behaviour prior to implementing a treatment for a problem behaviour?
It doesn't make use of punishment techniques.
It is essentially asking the individual why they engage in problem behaviours and creating an intervention that teaches an alternative response.
It allows the treatment to be created and implemented faster.
It is not more humane. All procedures in behaviour analysis are inhumane
Hanley suggests skipping many indirect assessment surveys and direct assessments and going right to a functional analysis of problem behaviour.
True
False
Assessment of the function of a behavior can yield useful information with respect to intervention strategies that are likely to be effective.
True
False
Problem behavior can be maintained by:
Social Positive reinforcement
Automatic reinforcement
Social Negative Reinforcement
None of the above
All of the above
The first and third options only.
