Evaluating the Social and Ecological Validity of Analog Assessment Procedures for Challenging Behaviors in Young Children.

Conroy, Maureen; And Others

Education and Treatment of Children, v19 n3 p233-56 Aug 1996

Four boys (ages 5 to 12) with developmental disabilities and severe challenging behaviors were evaluated using two functional assessment procedures: different analog probe conditions, and direct classroom observation of the child's behavior, antecedents, and consequences. Results raised questions about the reliability and ecological validity of the analog probe methodology. (DB)
