Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at an increased risk for engaging in severe problem behavior, which is often preceded by less intense precursor behaviors. These precursor behaviors may be a viable option as target behaviors for functional analyses in situations where evoking severe problem behavior is not ideal. We identified precursor behaviors through a correlational analysis and confirmed their membership in the same response class as more severe problem behavior through an experimental analysis.
智力和发育障碍患者出现严重问题行为的风险增加，而严重问题行为之前通常会出现强度较低的先兆行为。在引发严重问题行为不理想的情况下，这些先兆行为可能是功能分析目标行为的可行选择。我们通过相关分析确定了先兆行为，并通过实验分析证实它们与更严重问题行为属于同一反应类。
