the problem behavior irrelevant, inefficient, and ineffective
Too often people providing behavioral support conduct an FBA and then: - Answers✓✓move on
to implementing interventions without linking their interventions to the function of the problem
behaviors they are attempting to eliminate
Proactive and preventative interventions may focus on: - Answers✓✓-antecedents
-setting events
Teaching strategies may be implemented to replace undesirable behaviors with more -

problem behavior and strengthen the consequences for desired alternative and replacement
behaviors

Topography of the problem behavior is: - Answers✓✓what the observable behavior is

-trial-based FAs are divided into test and control segments with the motivating operation present
and absent, and responding is compared across these segments to identify function.

including: - Answers✓✓-extinction
-timeout
-overcorrection
-ecological interventions
