Current research provides few suggestions for modifications to functional analysis procedures to accommodate low rate, high intensity problem behavior. This study examined the results of the extended duration functional analysis procedures of Kahng, Abt, and Schonbachler (2001) with six children admitted to an inpatient hospital for the treatment of severe problem behavior. Results of initial functional analyses (Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, & Richman, 1982/1994) were inconclusive for all children because of low levels of responding. The altered functional analyses, which changed multiple variables including the duration of the functional analysis (i.e., 6 or 7 hrs), yielded clear behavioral functions for all six participants. These results add additional support for the utility of an altered analysis of low rate, high intensity problem behavior when standard functional analyses do not yield differentiated results.
目前的研究几乎没有针对功能分析程序的修改提出建议，以适应低频率、高强度的问题行为。本研究考察了Kahng、Abt和Schonbachler（2001）对六名因严重问题行为而住院治疗的儿童所采用的延长时长功能分析程序的结果。由于反应水平较低，初始功能分析（Iwata、Dorsey、Slifer、Bauman和Richman，1982/1994）对所有儿童的结果都没有定论。改变后的功能分析改变了多个变量，包括功能分析的时长（即6或7小时），为所有六名参与者得出了明确的行为功能。当标准功能分析没有得出有差异的结果时，这些结果为改变对低频率、高强度问题行为的分析的效用提供了更多支持。
