Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, and Richman (1982) presented the first comprehensive and standardized methodology for identifying operant functions of aberrant behavior. This essay discusses the significance functional analysis has had for applied behavior analysis. The methodology has lessened the field's reliance on default technologies and promoted analysis of environment-behavior interactions maintaining target responses as the basis for selecting treatments. It has also contributed to the integration of basic and applied research. Future directions for this research are suggested.
岩田、多尔西、斯利弗、鲍曼和里奇曼(1982 年)提出了第一个用于识别异常行为操作性功能的全面而标准化的方法。本文讨论了功能分析对应用行为分析的重要性。该方法减少了该领域对默认技术的依赖,并促进了对维持目标反应的环境-行为相互作用的分析,将其作为选择治疗方法的基础。它还有助于基础研究和应用研究的结合。本文还对该研究的未来方向提出了建议。
