[All BCBA Questions]

Jamie frequently falls to the floor and screams at school. Preliminary behavioral assessment data indicate that his tantrums are maintained by attention and escape from demand situations. Jamie's behavior analyst wants to examine precisely how attention and escape conditions affect these behaviors. The behavior analyst does not want to conduct the analysis in Jamie's classroom because she would not be able to control for potentially important factors. Relating to this scenario, which statement is TRUE?

I bet Jamie would love a field trip to the 'vacant classroom' for his assessment. Maybe the behavior analyst can bring some finger paints to keep him entertained during the experiment.

Option B sounds like the way to go. The generality of the findings can be addressed later, but first, the behavior analyst needs to get to the bottom of what's driving Jamie's behavior.

Hmm, I'm not sure I buy the idea of a 'vacant classroom' being the best option. How vacant is it really? What about all the memories and associations Jamie might have with that space?

I agree that conducting the analysis in Jamie's classroom would be problematic. The behavior analyst needs to isolate the variables to make a valid assessment.

The behavior analyst's decision to conduct the analysis in a controlled setting is a smart move. Controlling for potential confounding factors is crucial to understanding the precise role of attention and escape in Jamie's tantrums.

B) The behavior analyst could conduct the analysis in a vacant classroom, but the generality of the findings is an issue to be considered.

But wouldn't conducting the analysis in a vacant classroom also provide valuable insights, even if the findings may not be as generalizable?

I think the behavior analyst should conduct detailed interviews with the teacher and school staff to determine functional relations.
