Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional assessment involves identifying the reasons why a behavior is occurring, including antecedents (what happens right before the behavior), consequences (what happens immediately following the behavior), and setting events (the larger context and conditions that may impact the behavior). By understanding these factors, interventions can be developed that address the underlying function of the behavior, leading to more effective behavior change. Functional analysis, on the other hand, involves directly manipulating antecedents and consequences to test hypotheses about the function of the behavior. Behavior management and behavioral contracting are related to developing and implementing interventions but do not necessarily involve the same level of analysis of the underlying factors maintaining the behavior.
