Research demonstrates that in order to implement a successful behavior analytic intervention, one must first identify the maintaining contingencies of the target behavior. Descriptive assessments are the most commonly used functional assessment used by behavior analysts (Oliver et al., 2015), although, comparative research further supports the use of analog functional analyses over descriptive assessments. As a way to assess the components of descriptive assessments to increase their accuracy, antecedent‐behavior‐consequence (ABC) assessments and functional analysis procedures were used to analyze the key components of descriptive assessment and were then verified with the implementation of a function‐based intervention. Results indicated that conditional probabilities from the antecedent condition were verified as the function in the functional analysis and treatment. Implications for clinicians and researchers are reviewed.

通过基于功能的干预措施证明 ABC 评估的成分分析

研究表明，为了实施成功的行为分析干预，必须首先确定目标行为的维持意外事件。描述性评估是行为分析师最常用的功能评估（Oliver 等人，2015），尽管比较研究进一步支持使用模拟功能分析而不是描述性评估。作为评估描述性评估的组成部分以提高其准确性的一种方法，使用前因行为后果（ABC）评估和功能分析程序来分析描述性评估的关键组成部分，然后通过实施基于功能的方法进行验证干涉。结果表明，在泛函分析和处理中，先行条件的条件概率被验证为函数。回顾了对临床医生和研究人员的影响。
