A specific target behavior can often serve multiple functions. Individuals learn very quickly that what works in one situation may work in another. Below, you will find an Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence data collection form. The operational definition of J. T.'s target behavior is provided, as is the antecedent and consequence of each occurrence of the target behavior. Client: J. T. Observer: Ms. Cooper Target behavior (operational definition): J. T. screams, "No!" then grabs a one-inch lock of her hair between her thumb and index finger of her right hand and pulls. She then makes forceful contact with whoever is closest to her with the palm of her right hand. Setting: Preschool classroom (SEE ATTACHMENT FOR TABLE) AFTER CHECKING THE TABLE Please respond to the following: Identify the function the behavior seems to serve in each incidence of the target behavior. Choose two behavioral incidents that serve different functions and discuss the following for each incident: What replacement behavior could you teach? How would you modify the consequence? How would you modify the antecedent event? Why is an understanding of the probable function of a target behavior important in designing an effective behavior intervention plan? What are the three criteria for appropriate operational definitions? Provide an operational definition for one of the behaviors below: Hitting Non-compliance Tantrums https://www(dot)icloud(dot)com/iclouddrive/017gsLuEN-tN_JFPiytIQfrwQ#applied-behavior-analysis https://www(dot)icloud(dot)com/iclouddrive/0bd7O_OO7PZWRsZHzBAMgYKWQ#behavior-modification-principles-and-procedures-6th-edition-original-pdf-1701742378 https://psychiatryonline(dot)org/dsm
