In this study, the outcomes of descriptive, experimental and informant-based methods of functional assessment were compared in four individuals with developmental disabilities who showed problem behaviors. Results indicated that the descriptive and experimental assessments were concordant in only one of the four cases whilst informant-based and experimental assessments were concordant in three of the four cases. The descriptive assessment identified thin schedules of attention in all cases. These results appear to question the usefulness of employing descriptive assessments for problem behaviors either as an adjunct or replacement for experimental assessments, particularly given their time-consuming nature.
在本研究中，对四名有问题行为的发育障碍个体采用描述性、实验性和基于信息提供者的功能评估方法的结果进行了比较。结果表明，描述性评估和实验性评估在四个案例中仅在一个案例中结果一致，而基于信息提供者的评估和实验性评估在四个案例中的三个案例中结果一致。描述性评估在所有案例中都确定了稀疏的注意力模式。这些结果似乎对将描述性评估作为实验性评估的辅助手段或替代方法用于问题行为的有效性提出了质疑，特别是考虑到其耗时的性质。
