ineffective interventions, selected arbitrarily.
2. Harmful outcomes, unknowingly reinforce problem behavior.
what is the importance of FBA? - Correct Answer 1.identify maintaining reinforcer, i.e., function
2.information to develop interventions that are likely: effective and reinforcement-based.
Name 3 Approaches to Functional Assessment? - Correct Answer 1. indirect Assessment
2. Descriptive Assessments

, what are some examples of rating sclaes and interview forms? - Correct Answer 1. FAST(Functional
Analysis Screening Tool)
2. MAS(Motivational Assessment Scale)

what are advantages of indirect assessment? - Correct Answer 1. convenient
2. intial information
3. description of problem behavior

6. Hypothesis
what are some limitations of Indirect assessment? - Correct Answer 1. highly subjective

3. relieson memory
4. no empirical support
5. poor reliability
6. poor validity
what is the purpose of Iwata reliability & validity? - Correct Answer it was to develop an indrect FBA
questionnaire called Functional Assessment Screening Tool(FAST). it was also to evaluate reliability
with comparing acorss informants. it evaluated validity with comparing the FAST outcomes to FA.
what were the results of Iwata reliability & validity? - Correct Answer 1. study 1: reliability Analysis,
mean overall agreement(item-by-item) was 71.5% ( range 28.6% to 100%)
2. study 2: Validity Analysis, correspondence between FAST and FA, 63.8%.
Conclusion for Iwata R&V? - Correct Answer it was relatively better than other rating scales, but it
was inadequate for identifying function, and it was inadequate for developing interventions.
Define Default Technologies - Correct Answer intrusive, coercive or punishment-based interventions
that are often selected arbitrarily.
