Correspondence between Definitions and Procedures: A Reply to Stokes, Osnes, and Guevremont.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Catania, A. Charles; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1987
Stokes, Osnes, and Guevremont's (1987) implicit definition of correspondence classes is fundamentally procedural. A contingency-space analysis, on the other hand, is independent of specific procedures and focuses attention on problems inherent in some procedural definitions. It addresses the issue of distinguishing specific instances from classes.…

Emerging Themes in the Functional Analysis of Problem Behavior.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carr, Edward G. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
The successful application of functional analysis to problem behavior suggests the need to examine: additional functional properties of behavior involving social avoidance, biological reinforcement, and respondent conditioning; the role of context (including social factors and biological factors); and the multidimensional character of assessment…

Functional Assessment: Contributions and Future Directions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Horner, Robert H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
Functional assessment is redefining the standards for clinical interventions with problem behavior and reemphasizing the importance of basic behavioral mechanisms. It has shown the importance of complex patterns of behavioral control, functional assessment as an ongoing process, and the importance of attention to antecedent variables. Future…

Functional Analysis Methodology: Some Closing Comments.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Iwata, Brian A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
This commentary summarizes methodological and conceptual issues in functional analysis methodologies and offers some suggestions for their resolution. Considered are increasing complexity, absence of contingencies during assessment, use of subtle manipulations, alternative assessment strategies, analysis of antecedent influences on behavior,…

Comments on Functional Analysis Procedures for School-Based Behavior Problems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Repp, Alan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1994
This article reviews the development of functional analysis in understanding behavior problems like self-injury and aggression and, more recently, school-based problems. Seen as particularly promising is current work on the analysis of setting events and analysis of dependent variables by considering the effects of intervention on response…

Teaching Persons with Profound Multiple Handicaps: A Review of the Effects of Behavioral Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reid, Dennis H.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
This review of behavioral research on teaching individuals with profound multiple handicaps found that behavior change has resulted from contingency management interventions, but the behavior changes cannot be described as beneficially affecting the individuals' quality of life. Explanations for this are offered, and suggestions for future…
