Screening and Assessment Unit 6 Discussion

 

The video that I identified for this discussion shows a child by the name of Matt, who is throwing a tantrum in the store. In the video, the family decides to go and buy something from the store, while in the store, Matt is told to hold on the trolley and not to let go. However, Matt refuses to listen to instructions, and when he asks for a gumball, the mother refuses to buy him one because he did not listen to instructions. Matt is not happy, and it starts to throw a tantrum.  This behavior can be operationally defined as “Matt starts to scream on top of his voice when the mother refuses to buy him a gumball when they are in the store.”   This video can be accessed by the use of the following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrWSjbnh44k

The best type of functional behavior assessment to use in this case is the Conditional Probability Record (CRP).  Conditional Probability record will help the observer to identify and record the antecedents and the consequences of the behavior. The observer will then be able to identify the probability of the behavior when a specific antecedent is present (Steege, 2019).   In this case, the observer will record all the antecedents and the consequences of Matt throwing a tantrum. The observer will then be able to tell the likelihood of Matt acting up when a specific antecedent is prevalent. The observer will then be able to come up with a percentage of intervals showing how the behavior occurs when a certain antecedent is present and the consequences.
