All of the following are characteristics of a functional analysis of behavior except:
A) specifying the behavior of interest
B) determining the baseline occurrence of the behavior
C) identifying the outcome of the behavior
D) experimental manipulation of the independent variable

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental manipulation of the independent variable is not a characteristic of a functional analysis of behavior. A functional analysis of behavior is a method of identifying the environmental factors that maintain a behavior. It involves specifying the behavior of interest, determining the baseline occurrence of the behavior, and identifying the outcome of the behavior.
