Abstract

Since its inception, modifications to experimental functional analyses have been conducted to improve contextual fit. One variation, a trial‐based functional analysis (TBFA), naturally embeds conditions within the environment, has been used across diverse participants (e.g., neurotypical development, autism spectrum disorder [ASD], etc.) and settings. Although interest in TBFA has grown, few TBFA literature reviews have been conducted. Detailed participant characteristics, reliability measures across dependent and independent variables, social validity, and details of function‐based interventions have yet to be reported. Therefore, the purpose of the literature review was to replicate and extend past TBFA reviews by assessing publication characteristics (e.g., authors, year), participant characteristics, procedures (e.g., number of trials), validation across comparison FAs, function‐based interventions, reliability (interobserver agreement [IOA] and procedural integrity) measures, social validity, and intervention details (type. Implementer, setting, and outcomes. We identified 32 articles across 88 participants. Strengths of TBFA research include usability across a range of problem behaviors in natural settings (i.e., in classrooms or in homes) by teachers and direct service providers, IOA, and the inclusion of effective function‐based interventions. Most research included preschoolers with ASD and other disabilities. Limitations and areas for future research are discussed.

对基于试验的功能分析研究的描述性评估

自实验功能分析诞生以来，人们一直在对其进行修改，以改善其与环境的契合度。其中一种变体，即基于试验的功能分析（TBFA），自然地将条件嵌入环境中，已被用于不同的参与者（如神经典型发育、自闭症谱系障碍等）和环境中。尽管人们对 TBFA 的兴趣与日俱增，但对 TBFA 的文献综述却寥寥无几。详细的参与者特征、因变量和自变量的信度测量、社会效度以及基于功能的干预措施的细节尚未见报道。因此，文献综述的目的是通过评估出版物特征（如作者、年份）、参与者特征、程序（如试验数量）、对比 FA 的验证、基于功能的干预、可靠性（观察者间一致性 [IOA] 和程序完整性）测量、社会有效性和干预细节（类型、实施者、环境和结果），复制和扩展过去的 TBFA 综述。实施者、环境和结果。我们确定了 32 篇文章，涉及 88 名参与者。TBFA 研究的优势包括：教师和直接服务提供者在自然环境（即教室或家庭）中对一系列问题行为的可用性、IOA 以及包含基于功能的有效干预。大多数研究包括患有自闭症和其他残疾的学龄前儿童。本文讨论了研究的局限性和未来研究的领域。

期刊介绍： Behavioral Interventions aims to report research and practice involving the utilization of behavioral techniques in the treatment, education, assessment and training of students, clients or patients, as well as training techniques used with staff. Behavioral Interventions publishes: (1) research articles, (2) brief reports (a short report of an innovative technique or intervention that may be less rigorous than a research report), (3) topical literature reviews and discussion articles, (4) book reviews.
