ABA541 Week 1 study Questions

Answer the questions below using your own words.  There is no specific required length for each answer; however, make sure you answer each part of every question.  Please make sure to paraphrase your responses as much as possible, as you may have to resubmit the assignment if your submission has a high similarity score through TurnItIn. For more information about ABA formatting, please visit:

For each answer, you must:

1. provide correct information and
2. cite one or more of the articles from the list of readings for this week as a reference for your answer, with page number(s) of where you found the information, using APA formatting. For example, if you found your answer on pages 271-272 in Iwata, DeLeon, and Roscoe’s 2013 article, the in-text citation would look like this: (Iwata, DeLeon, & Roscoe, 2013, pp. 271-272). If you found your answer on page 271 only, it would be written as p. 271 (one “p”).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Readings for this week:

1. O’Neill et al. (2014) – Chapter 1 (Introduction) and Chapter 2 (through p. 40)
2. Lovaas and Simmons (1969)
3. Schaefer (1970)
4. Carr (1977)
5. Iwata et al. (1994)
6. Moreno and Gaytán (2013)
7. Moreno et al. (2014)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q1. How do O’Neill and colleagues (2014) define a functional behavioral assessment (FBA)?

Q2. List/describe the six primary outcomes of the functional assessment process.

Q3. List and briefly describe the three strategies for collecting functional assessment information.

Q4. Pick three of the ethical considerations from Table 1.1 in O’Neill et al. (2014) and provide your own response to those questions.

Q5. What were the main findings in Schaefer (1970)?

Q6. Briefly describe the procedures used by Lovaas and Simmons (1969).

Q7. Discuss relevant ethical considerations related to Lovaas and Simmons (1969).  Would this study be considered ethical by today’s standards? What could have been done differently?

Q8. What are the conditions that were used by Iwata and colleagues (1994) in the functional analysis? Describe each condition in terms of the antecedent and consequence conditions for both target and non-target behaviors (e.g., in the social attention condition, the experimenter began the condition by [doing x]. If the participant engaged in the target behavior, the experimenter [did y]. If the participant engaged in any other behavior aside from the target behavior, the experimenter [did z]).

Q9. True or false (if false, describe why). Every functional analysis should start with the same standard conditions used by Iwata and colleagues (1994) before conducting more individualized, idiosyncratic conditions.

Q10. What are the 5 hypothesis statements of self injurious behavior by Carr (1977)? Briefly describe each.

------------------

*** Q11. Cultural considerations – Considering an individual’s culture is an important

aspect of the assessment and treatment process. Please read through both of the Moreno articles carefully, as this is an important topic that is often not addressed enough within the field, including within the context of FBAs.

 

Please write a 2-3 page response (double-spaced) regarding the importance of considering culture within the functional behavioral assessment process. Please be sure to discuss the changes in demographics within the United States, the current issues in terms of disciplinary actions (e.g., educator biases), recommendations/strategies for decreasing educator biases and other issues, and how this may apply to your own clinical work
