A Behavior Analyst’s Guide to Supervising Fieldwork: Direct Assessment [Behavior analysts must use data to inform all clinical decisions, including identifying stimuli that are likely to function as reinforcers and stimuli that are likely to evoke challenging behavior during the escape condition of a functional analysis. In this chapter, you will introduce your supervisees to the types of assessments, indirect and direct, and the four steps for conducting preference and demand assessments. The four steps included identifying stimuli to include in the assessment, selecting an assessment format, determining the presentation of the stimuli, and analyzing the assessment results. During the group supervision meeting, your supervisees will conduct a mock indirect assessment and a collect data on a mock paired-stimulus preference assessment. During the individual supervision meeting, your supervisee will role-play conducting a demand assessment. They will need to collect data and analyze the mock results to determine which stimuli they would include within the escape condition of a functional analysis. During the final supervision meeting, you will instruct your supervisee to conduct a stimulus preference assessment with their client.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Behavior analysts must use data to inform all clinical decisions, including identifying stimuli that are likely to function as reinforcers and stimuli that are likely to evoke challenging behavior during the escape condition of a functional analysis. In this chapter, you will introduce your supervisees to the types of assessments, indirect and direct, and the four steps for conducting preference and demand assessments. The four steps included identifying stimuli to include in the assessment, selecting an assessment format, determining the presentation of the stimuli, and analyzing the assessment results. During the group supervision meeting, your supervisees will conduct a mock indirect assessment and a collect data on a mock paired-stimulus preference assessment. During the individual supervision meeting, your supervisee will role-play conducting a demand assessment. They will need to collect data and analyze the mock results to determine which stimuli they would include within the escape condition of a functional analysis. During the final supervision meeting, you will instruct your supervisee to conduct a stimulus preference assessment with their client.]
