Children with autism spectrum disorder engage in restricted and repetitive behavior. Some of these children engage in problem behavior when these rituals are interrupted. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the use of the trial-based functional analysis to assess problem behavior related to ritual interruption and to treat the problem behavior using functional communication training plus a multiple schedule. We found that the trial-based functional analysis correctly identified the presence of a rituals function and the treatment was effective in four of four participants, and the treatment generalized to additional rituals for three of three participants.

基于试验的功能分析在评估仪式中断引起的问题行为中的应用

自闭症谱系障碍儿童从事受限和重复的行为。当这些仪式被打断时，其中一些孩子会出现问题行为。本研究的目的是评估使用基于试验的功能分析来评估与仪式中断相关的问题行为，并使用功能性沟通训练和多个时间表来治疗问题行为。我们发现，基于试验的功能分析正确地确定了仪式功能的存在，并且治疗对四名参与者中的四名有效，并且治疗推广到三名参与者中的三名的额外仪式。
