Analysis of response class hierarchies with attention-maintained problem behaviors

J W Harding et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 2001 Spring.

Abstract

We replicated a method for clarifying inconclusive functional analysis outcomes via an extinction analysis of separate topographies of problem behavior with 2 participants. Results suggested that both mild and severe problem behaviors belonged to the same response class. An analysis of response latency was consistent with a response class hierarchy hypothesis, indicating that mild problem behavior nearly always occurred prior to severe topographies of problem behavior.
