The functional control of problem behavior is generally conceptualized as involving attention, escape, sensory reinforcement, and tangible factors. Our analytic tools have now reached a level of sophistication that makes possible consideration of several new, emerging themes in the area of functional analysis. First, we need to examine other functional properties of problem behavior involving social avoidance, biological reinforcement, and respondent conditioning factors. Second, we need to explore the role of context, including social factors such as group interactions, sequencing of tasks and activities, presence or absence of specific individuals, and crowding; as well as biological factors, such as physical illness, exercise, and drugs. Finally, we must consider the multidimensional character of assessment in naturalistic settings and the practical need for developing descriptive analytic procedures that complement and produce results that are congruent with those obtained from traditional functional analyses.
问题行为的功能控制通常被概念化为涉及注意力、逃避、感官强化和有形因素。我们的分析工具现在已经达到了一定的复杂程度，使得在功能分析领域考虑几个新出现的主题成为可能。首先，我们需要研究问题行为的其他功能特性，包括社会回避、生物强化和反应性条件作用因素。其次，我们需要探讨情境的作用，包括社会因素，如群体互动、任务和活动的顺序、特定个体的在场或不在场以及拥挤程度；以及生物因素，如身体疾病、运动和药物。最后，我们必须考虑自然环境中评估的多维特征，以及开发描述性分析程序的实际需求，这些程序应补充并产生与传统功能分析结果一致的结果。
