  1. David L. Lee, PhD, BCBA-D The Pennsylvania State University The Social functions of problem behavior

  2. So… Who are these kids?

  3. One Size Fits All Mike and Pete both engage in aggressive acts when asked to complete an assignment. Ms. Jones has decided to implement a behavior plan to decrease the aggression of both students. The behavior plan entails giving the students time-out. Ms. Jones has collected the following data on aggressive behavior during the time-out intervention:

  4. Time Out Intervention Data Mike Pete Pete

  5. What is a Functional Assessment? • Process for gathering information • Assumptions: • Behavior is setting specific • Behavior serves a purpose (Function - obtain, escape)

  6. Traditional ABC Model

  7. So, How Does This Work? • Descriptive Phase: • Interview, checklist, ABC recording • Goals • Experimental Phase: • Design method to reliably evoke problem behavior • Examples next

  8. Escape Function

  9. Attention Function

  10. Intervention • Teach a more efficient way to acquire reinforcer. • Reinforce desired behavior. • Withhold reinforcement for inappropriate behavior.

  11. Why FBA? • Potential for best practice • IDEA • Research base

  12. Potential Issues with FBA with EBD • Initial research base • Proximal and distal stimuli • No detail about socially-mediated reinforcers • Does not account for variables that could affect persistence of behavior

  13. An Expanded Model

  14. Social Functions of Problem Behavior Social Interchanges • Defined • Reciprocity • Complementarity • Traditional FBA • Expanded Model

  15. Social Functions of Problem Behavior Social Network Membership • Defined • How developed (sorting) • Helpful pieces of information • Traditional FBA • Expanded Model

  16. Social Functions of Problem Behavior Social Roles and Reputations • Defined • Traditional FBA • Expanded Model

  17. Social Functions of Problem Behavior Inclusionary / Exclusionary Processes • Defined • Traditional FBA • Expanded Model

  18. Why an Expanded Model? • Enhanced clarity of context. • Allows for interventions that: • Account for proximal & distal • Leverage social functions • Teach relevant social skills
