Trial-based functional analysis (TBFA) possesses many strategic advantages which make it an ideal candidate for adoption in applied settings. Notwithstanding, some aspects of the analysis remain underdeveloped, including structured guidelines for interacting with obtained data reliably in formative and summative ways. The purpose of this study was to adapt existing ongoing visual-inspection (OVI) criteria to match the idiosyncrasies of TBFA and then to assess their practical utility in applied settings. Thus, we first drafted OVI criteria appropriate for trial-based FA (i.e., TB-OVI). Then, we trained 5 caregivers to conduct TBFAs of their children's challenging behavior and to react to their data as they obtained it, using the TB-OVI criteria as their guide. Finally, we validated interpretations of TBFA outcomes based on TB-OVI criteria through effective intervention. Across 5 participants and 7 opportunities, function-based interventions successfully eliminated challenging behavior.

持续视觉检查在基于试验的功能分析中的形成性应用：概念证明

基于试验的功能分析 (TBFA) 具有许多战略优势，使其成为在应用环境中采用的理想选择。尽管如此，分析的某些方面仍然不完善，包括以形成性和总结性方式可靠地与获得的数据进行交互的结构化指南。本研究的目的是调整现有的持续目视检查 (OVI) 标准以匹配 TBFA 的特性，然后评估它们在应用环境中的实际效用。因此，我们首先起草了适用于基于试验的 FA（即 TB-OVI）的 OVI 标准。然后，我们培训了 5 名看护人对他们孩子的挑战性行为进行 TBFA，并在他们获得数据时对他们的数据做出反应，使用 TB-OVI 标准作为他们的指导。最后，我们通过有效干预验证了基于 TB-OVI 标准的 TBFA 结果的解释。在 5 个参与者和 7 个机会中，基于功能的干预成功地消除了具有挑战性的行为。
