- Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine whether elevated response rates that occurred in an experimental functional analysis were correlated with higher post-session response rates in the natural environment. Functional analyses indicated that the problem behavior of four children with developmental disabilities was maintained by common sources of reinforcement. Observational assessment in the natural environment showed no differences in post-session rates compared with pre-session rates for three participants, and the data for the fourth participant were equivocal. Overall, no convincing evidence was found to suggest that functional analyses might worsen post-session problem behavior in the natural environment. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
