behaviour is happening)
-Intensity (physical energy involved in producing behaviour)

-Topography (what the behaviour looks like)
-Latency (time between controlling stimulus and response)

long time, may put large strain on staff who have to do it.

the outcomes maintaining them.
6. Collect direct observational data that support summary statements.


What is an informant/interview method for an FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Talking to
the person with the problem behaviours and those around them to learn more about the
occurrence of the problem behaviours in context (i.e., what variables in the environment are
affecting the problem behaviour and what is its function?). Contextualizes the problem
behaviour by gathering information on setting events and antecedents, consequences,
alternative behaviours.


What is direct observation in an FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Systematic observation
of the client in their daily life. Usually done by people who already work or live with the
person and shouldn't interfere with their daily life. Recording when problem behaviours

assessment for a behavioural assessment. Identifies and rules out any medical or physical
issues associated with specific patterns of severe problem behaviour as well as the effects of
medication.


What are three value based assumptions of FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1. Conduct
behavioural support with the dignity of persons in mind; behaviour is logical.

What is an escape-driven coercive process? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Adult makes a
request or demand that triggers the problem behaviour to occur, as child wants to escape the
demand. When the adult reduces the demand, the child stops the problem behaviour, which
negatively reinforces both the adult and the child and increases the likelihood of the same
process happening in the future.


What is an attention-driven coercive process? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Adult is busy or
occupied, which triggers problem behaviour so child can get attention. The adult provides
attention and the child stops the problem behaviour, which is positively reinforcing to the
child and negatively reinforcing for the adult, increasing the likelihood it will happen again.
