  • Title: Functional analysis and treatment of problem behavior exhibited by elementary school children.
    Author: Meyer KA.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1999; 32(2):229-32. PubMed ID: 10396777.
    Abstract:
    A functional analysis involving antecedent events was conducted with 4 students who had been identified as having behavior problems. Off-task behavior was measured while task difficulty and level of adult attention were manipulated during analogue sessions. Results revealed two patterns: Three students displayed higher rates of off-task behavior during difficult tasks, and 1 displayed higher rates of off-task behavior during sessions with low attention. Improved behavior was observed when students were taught an alternative behavior that matched the assessment results.
