Hanley, Jin, Vanselow, and Hanratty (2014) described a functional analysis (FA) format that relied on a synthesis of multiple contingencies described by caregivers during open-ended interviews. These interview-informed synthesized contingency analyses (IISCA) provided effective baselines from which to develop socially validated treatments, but the synthesis precluded a precise understanding of individual contingencies influencing problem behavior. We conducted IISCAs and standard FAs (Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, & Richman, 1982/1994) for nine children with autism to evaluate the likelihood of differentiation given a number of synthesized versus isolated variables. The IISCA was differentiated for all. The standard FA was differentiated for four; this number increased to six when we included precursors in the standard FA. We then compared treatments based on sets of differentiated analyses for four children. Treatment based on the IISCA was effective for all four; treatments based on the standard FA were effective for two. The role of synthesis in analysis is discussed.
汉利、金、万斯洛和汉拉蒂（2014年）描述了一种功能分析（FA）形式，该形式依赖于在开放式访谈中照顾者所描述的多种意外情况的综合。这些基于访谈的综合意外情况分析（IISCA）提供了有效的基线，从中可以开发出经过社会验证的治疗方法，但这种综合排除了对影响问题行为的个体意外情况的精确理解。我们对九名自闭症儿童进行了IISCA和标准功能分析（Iwata、多尔西、斯利弗、鲍曼和里奇曼，1982/1994年），以评估在一些综合变量与孤立变量的情况下进行区分的可能性。所有儿童的IISCA都实现了区分。标准功能分析对四名儿童实现了区分；当我们在标准功能分析中纳入先兆因素时，这一数字增加到了六名。然后，我们基于对四名儿童的区分分析集比较了治疗方法。基于IISCA的治疗方法对所有四名儿童都有效；基于标准功能分析的治疗方法对两名儿童有效。本文讨论了综合在分析中的作用。
