Answers 2026-2027 Updated.
A consideration to keep in mind with the alone condition is: - Answer Due to attention being
withheld and the possibility of faulty stimulus control, high frequency of a target behavior in this
condition may suggest an attention function rather than an automatic function. It may not be
necessary to test this condition if an automatic function is not hypothesized. One must make
sure that the proper materials for gathering data are available, given that the client is to be
alone (for example, one-way mirror, video camera, et cetera).
A psychologist is trying to determine why Paul frequently hits his younger brother. The
psychologist forms a hypothesis that teasing by his brother and attention from his mother
influence Paul's hitting behavior. The psychologist then arranges conditions in which these
environmental variables are either present or absent to determine their effect on Paul's hitting
behavior. Which functional assessment method is the psychologist using? - Answer functional
analysis
Conducting a functional assessment will provide information concerning: - Answer dimensions
of the bx, antecedent events, consequences of the bx
Direct observation and indirect methods of functional assessment are used to: - Answer
Develop a hypothesis about antecedents and consequences of a behavior.Gather information
on the three-term contingency
Directly observing the problem behavior and recording the antecedents and consequences as
they occur is which functional assessment method? - Answer direct observation
Functional analyses are used to: - Answer Identify the function of an individual's behavior.

If a person strums his guitar a certain way and it makes a great sound, the person is more likely
to strum the guitar that way again. This is an example of: - Answer automatic positive
reinforcement
If one assumes attention is maintaining a behavior as hypothesized after gathering indirect
information and ABC data, one should then conduct a FA that includes at least the two following
conditions: - Answer attention and control/play
