A guide for conducting a comprehensive behavioral analysis of a target behavior.
This paper provides a sequenced, structured format for conducting a behavioral analysis. It is designed to help ensure that the analysis is comprehensive, that it includes potentially important antecedent events, that influencing factors become apparent and that useful recommendations for treatment can be derived from it. In addition, the guide solicits other useful types of information, including: (1) covert antecedents such as thoughts; (2) distant antecedents which may relate to a behavior; and (3) under what conditions the behavior does not occur.
