Previous investigators have analyzed the maintaining conditions for aberrant behaviors using brief functional assessment procedures. These assessment procedures have been used in one of our outpatient clinics, the Self-Injurious and Aggressive Behavior Service. This study presents a descriptive summary of the results from 79 cases during a 3-year period. The outcomes of the brief assessment were evaluated across three variables: (a) referring topography, (b) control over behavior as evaluated through brief multielement designs, and (c) the identified maintaining conditions for aberrant behavior. The limitations and future utility of brief functional assessments for identifying distinct maintaining contingencies are discussed.
先前的研究人员使用简短的功能评估程序分析了异常行为的维持条件。这些评估程序已在我们的一家门诊诊所——自伤与攻击行为服务中心使用。本研究呈现了3年期间79例病例结果的描述性总结。通过三个变量对简短评估的结果进行了评估:(a) 转介的行为表现形式,(b) 通过简短的多元素设计评估的对行为的控制,以及 (c) 确定的异常行为维持条件。讨论了简短功能评估在识别不同维持意外情况方面的局限性和未来效用。
