Functional assessment: the process of generating information on the events preceding and following the behavior in an attempt to determine which antecedents and consequences are reliably associated with the occurrence of the behavior. Social positive reinforcement: when a positively reinforcing consequence is delivered by another person after the target behavior. Social negative reinforcement: when another person terminates an aversive interaction, task, or activity after the target behavior. Automatic positive reinforcement: when the behavior produces a positively reinforcing consequence automatically. Automatic negative reinforcement: when the target behavior automatically reduces or eliminates an aversive stimulus. Tangible reinforcers: reinforcement involves access to a preferred item. Activity reinforcers: reinforcement involves access to a preferred activity. Descriptive assessments: antecedents and consequences are described, either from memory or direct observation. Behavioral interviews or questionnaires are used to gather information.
