A MODEL FOR PRESENTATION OF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIOR
Keywords:
Functional analysis, radical behaviorism, behavior analysisAbstract
The term functional analysis is used a lot of times by behavior’ analysts during scientific, didactic, clinical and other activities as the method adopted for the establishment of relationships between variables and
behavior. The form of presentation of functional analysis could facilitate or difficult the understanding of these analysis. The main goal of this article is to show a model of presentation of functional analysis that looks
simple, clear and concise. The specific purpose is to facilitate that not only students but also naive therapists can understand the proposed analysis and present functional analysis based on the same format. As a
demonstration, the functional analysis of a youth’s behaviors referred to the services of the psychological clinic of the State University of Londrina will be presented.
