Extensive reviews of functional analysis literature were conducted 10 (Beavers et al., 2013)
and 20 (Hanley et al., 2003) years ago; we expanded this review to capture the vast and …

Originating in the mid‐1960s, functional analysis (FA) has become the gold standard
method for understanding the environmental variables that come to shape and maintain …

Single‐case experimental designs (SCEDs) have proven invaluable in research and
practice because they are optimal for asking many experimental questions relevant to the …

Functional analyses are intended to identify the reinforcers maintaining problem behavior in
order to inform clinicians' selection of interventions. Traditionally, these analyses have …

Prior research has shown that bringing functional communication responses under the
discriminative control of schedule-correlated stimuli facilitates rapid reinforcement schedule …

The purpose of the current study was to conduct a thorough review of the literature on the
interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis (IISCA) developed by (Hanley et al …

Recent research suggests that combining putative reinforcers for problem behavior into a
single, synthesized contingency may increase efficiency in identifying behavioral function …

A goal of some functional analysis (FA) variations is to reduce assessment time while still
maintaining efficacy. This may be especially important when conducting FAs in early …

Recent research on functional analyses (FAs) has examined the extent to which problem
behavior is maintained by single (isolated) or combined (synthesized) reinforcement …

Recently, researchers have compared the utility of isolated versus synthesized
contingencies in functional analysis (FA) methodology (eg, Fisher et al., 2016; Slaton et al …
