Abstract in brief

  • The text reviews three decades of research on the functional analysis (FA) of problem behavior, initially covered by Hanley, Iwata, and McCord in 2003, and updates this with studies from 2001 to 2012, adding 158 new studies involving 445 FAs.
  • Combining these with previous data, there have been 981 FAs published since 1961, with many including line graph data.
  • The review discusses recent trends in FA research and introduces studies featured in a 2013 special issue of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Useful overview of 30 years of research in functional analysis of behaviour by Beavers et al (2013) - if used well this can inform behaviour plans to reduce negative behaviours and reduce #exclusion https://t.co/NK0QQ1Ujgr
