In this episode, we highlight why knowing the function of behavior is crucial for effective management:
- Function vs. Form: The form of behavior (e.g., yelling) is different from its function (e.g., seeking attention or avoiding a task).
- Four Main Functions:
- Attention: Behaviors aimed at getting someone’s attention (e.g., a child jumping up and down).
- Escape/Avoidance: Behaviors to avoid or escape undesirable tasks (e.g., hitting the snooze button).
- Access to Tangibles: Behaviors to obtain desired items or activities (e.g., asking for a cookie).
- Sensory Stimulation/Automatic Reinforcement: Behaviors providing sensory satisfaction (e.g., self-soothing actions like rocking).
Key Takeaway: Identify the underlying function of a behavior to address it effectively and improve future interactions. Stay tuned for strategies in our upcoming course!
