The speed with which a functional analysis (FA) provides a convincing demonstration of the variables that influence problem behavior may be termed efficiency. Multiple FA formats have been developed to improve analytic efficiency while the core components of the Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, and Richman (1982/1994) procedures are maintained. We attempted to illustrate an alternative efficient process for conducting FAs of problem behavior that relied on modifying those core components. In Study 1, we describe 30 applications of the interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis (Hanley, Jin, Vanselow, & Hanratty, 2014), which required an average of 25 min of analysis. The first sessions of these analyses were reanalyzed in Study 2 to determine if contingencies that controlled problem behavior could be identified in only 3 to 5 min. This was the case in 80% of analyses.
功能分析（FA）用以令人信服地证明影响问题行为的变量的速度可被称为效率。为了提高分析效率，人们开发了多种FA形式，同时保留了Iwata、Dorsey、Slifer、Bauman和Richman（1982/1994）程序的核心组成部分。我们试图阐述一种用于对问题行为进行功能分析的替代高效流程，该流程依赖于对那些核心组成部分进行修改。在研究1中，我们描述了访谈知情综合权变分析（Hanley、Jin、Vanselow和Hanratty，2014）的30次应用，这些应用平均需要25分钟的分析时间。在研究2中，对这些分析的首次会话进行了重新分析，以确定是否仅在3至5分钟内就能识别出控制问题行为的权变因素。在80%的分析中情况确实如此。
