We conducted functional analyses and identified reinforcers for problem behavior for three individuals with developmental disabilities. Based on results of the functional analysis, we evaluated the rate, probability, delay, and duration of reinforcement for problem and appropriate behavior during descriptive parent-child observations. Results showed that parameters of reinforcement, including rate, probability, delay, and duration may interact, and that evaluations of a single reinforcement parameter may be insufficient in describing response allocation. Hence, this study represents a movement toward a method for analyzing reinforcer dimensions, other than rate and probability, in a descriptive analysis.
我们对三名发育障碍个体的问题行为进行了功能分析,并确定了强化物。基于功能分析的结果,我们在描述性亲子观察期间评估了问题行为和恰当行为的强化频率、概率、延迟和持续时间。结果表明,强化参数,包括频率、概率、延迟和持续时间,可能会相互作用,而且对单一强化参数的评估可能不足以描述反应分配情况。因此,本研究朝着一种在描述性分析中分析除频率和概率之外的强化物维度的方法迈进了一步。
