USE OF A STRUCTURED DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY TO IDENTIFY VARIABLES

AFFECTING PROBLEM BEHAVIOR

CYNTHIA M. ANDERSON AND ETHAN S. LONG

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

This study evaluated a variation of functional assessment methodology, the structured descriptive assessment (SDA). The SDA is conducted in an individual’s natural environ- ment and involves systematically manipulating antecedent variables while leaving conse- quences free to vary. Results were evaluated by comparing the results of an SDA with results obtained from an analogue functional analysis with 4 children who exhibited problem behavior. For 3 of 4 participants, the results of the two assessments suggested similar hypotheses about variables maintaining problem behavior. Interventions based on the results of the SDA were implemented for 3 children and resulted in significant reductions in rates of problem behavior.

DESCRIPTORS: functional assessment, functional analysis, intervention, problem behavior

Research has demonstrated the utility of the analogue functional analysis methodol- ogy developed by Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bau- man, and Richman (1982/1994) for identi- fying sources of reinforcement that maintain aberrant behavior. This methodology sys- tematically assesses situations hypothesized to be analogueous to those in the natural environment by directly manipulating pu- tative antecedents and consequences for problem behavior. The major advantage of this methodology compared to other meth- ods of functional assessment is that it allows greater control over the environment, result- ing in a more direct inference of functional relations.

In contrast to the analogue functional analysis, descriptive assessments involve di- rect observation of behavior and events in the individual’s natural environment and in-

volve less control over environmental vari- ables. Descriptive assessments may yield in- formation about naturally occurring sched- ules of reinforcement and idiosyncratic var- iables associated with problem behavior (e.g., Fisher, Adelinis, Thompson, Worsdell, & Zarcone, 1998; Mueller, Sterling-Turner, & Scattone, 2001). As a result, descriptive assessments may enhance understanding of how reinforcement operates in the natural environment.

Recent research suggests that descriptive assessment may be beneficial in augmenting analogue functional analyses. For example, hypotheses about environment–behavior re- lations might be developed via descriptive assessment when results of an analogue func- tional analysis are inconclusive (Mace & Lal- li, 1991). Descriptive assessments also may be useful when it is difficult or impossible to conduct analogue functional analyses.

Despite these potential benefits, a number of limitations are associated with commonly used methods of descriptive assessment. First, data obtained via descriptive assess- ment provide only correlational information about environment–behavior relations, and therefore do not allow causal statements to

138 CYNTHIA M. ANDERSON and ETHAN S. LONG

be made (Mace, Lalli, & Shea, 1992). Sec- ond, if behavior is reinforced only occasion- ally, it may be difficult to identify reinforc- ing consequences (Lerman & Iwata, 1993; Sulzer-Azaroff & Mayer, 1977). Third, be- cause antecedent and consequent stimuli are not controlled, functionally relevant stimuli may not occur during the observation peri- od. This may occur, for example, if care pro- viders have modified the environment such that discriminative stimuli or establishing operations that occasion problem behavior are removed in an attempt to prevent the occurrence of such problems.

One strategy that might increase the util- ity of the descriptive assessment is to pro- gram the occurrence of specific antecedent conditions (i.e., task presentation, removal of tangible items, attention deprivation) that have been demonstrated, by research em- ploying the analogue functional analysis, to be functionally related to challenging behav- ior. To illustrate, Freeman, Anderson, and Scotti (2000) evaluated 2 individuals’ prob- lem behavior using a structured descriptive assessment (SDA). The SDA was conducted by typical care providers in the individuals’ natural environment and involved imple- menting specific antecedent conditions sim- ilar to those found in the analogue function- al analysis while observing naturally occur- ring consequences. Results of the SDA were compared to those of analogue functional analyses and typical descriptive assessments. Results indicated that the SDA resulted in greater occurrence of targeted environmental events (e.g., antecedents mentioned above and specific consequences such as attention delivery, task removal, delivery of tangible items) when compared to the descriptive as- sessment. Also, the patterns of responding in the SDA were similar to those observed in the analogue functional analysis, resulting in similar hypotheses about the function of problem behavior for the 2 participants.

Although the results obtained by Freeman

et al. (2000) tentatively support the utility of the SDA, the results were limited for sev- eral reasons. First, the authors did not de- termine if specific environmental events oc- curred more often in conjunction with prob- lem behavior (i.e., conditional probabilities were not calculated), so it is difficult to draw conclusions about potential functional rela- tions. Second, because the study was con- ducted with only 2 participants, the gener- ality of these findings were limited. Finally, the utility of this method remains unclear because interventions were not evaluated.

Given that descriptive assessments are a potential alternative or adjunct to analogue functional analyses, it is important to con- tinue to evaluate the utility of the SDA. The purpose of this study was to conduct further evaluations of the SDA by comparing results obtained with the SDA to results obtained with the analogue functional analysis with 4 participants. A second purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which the SDA led to development of an effective treatment. If so, a case may be made for use of the SDA as an adjunct to or replacement for an ana- logue functional analysis under certain cir- cumstances. Finally, research on the SDA may provide additional insights as to how behavior is reinforced in the natural environ- ment.

STUDY 1: FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT

METHOD

Participants and Setting

Four children who had been referred for the assessment and treatment of severe be- havior problems participated. Drew was an 8-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with autism and moderate to severe mental retardation. He had been referred for treat- ment of self-injurious behavior (SIB), ag- gression, and disruption. Jane, a 13-year-old

139STRUCTURED DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT

girl who had been diagnosed with Down syndrome and profound mental retardation, had been referred for treatment of SIB. Lyle was a 13-year-old boy who had been diag- nosed with moderate to severe mental retar- dation. He had been referred for treatment of aggression and disruption. Mitch was a 6- year-old boy who had been diagnosed with autism and had been referred for treatment of aggression.

Analogue functional analyses for all par- ticipants were conducted in a therapy room equipped with a one-way mirror. SDA ses- sions with Drew were conducted in his home. SDA sessions for Jane, Lyle, and Mitch were conducted in their classrooms.

Response Definitions, Data Collection, and Interobserver Agreement

Analogue functional analysis. Definitions for problem behavior were developed from interviews with parents (Drew), teachers (Jane, Lyle, and Mitch), and direct obser- vations conducted prior to beginning the study. Target behaviors included SIB (Drew and Jane), defined as head banging, head hitting, ear scratching, slamming the body against hard surfaces, and banging an arm or hand against a hard object; aggression (Drew, Lyle, and Mitch), defined as hitting, kicking, pinching, and pulling hair of others; and disruption (Drew, Lyle, and Mitch), de- fined as throwing objects and knocking over furniture. Due to the severity of her SIB, Jane wore a boxing helmet to protect her ears. All target behaviors were scored using continuous frequency recording.

Frequency data were collected on the fol- lowing therapist responses for all partici- pants: (a) prompt, defined as providing a verbal, gestural, or physical request; (b) at- tention delivery, defined as 3-s to 5-s verbal statements that were not prompts; (c) deliv- ery of tangible items, defined as placing a preferred object within the reach of the par- ticipant; and (d) removal of tangible items,

defined as removing a preferred object from the participant. Partial-interval data were collected on the occurrence of the following variables across consecutive 5-s intervals: (a) attention deprivation, defined as the absence of attention for a complete interval; (b) es- cape, scored only if a prompt occurred in a preceding interval, the participant was not engaged in a previously requested task, and prompts to engage in the task were not pre- sented for the entire interval; and (c) tangi- ble deprivation, defined as the removal of a preferred tangible item for at least one com- plete interval. Therapist behaviors were cod- ed as soon as they occurred, and the order of occurrence was recorded if they occurred within the same interval as a child problem behavior. When a therapist response contin- ued to occur across adjacent intervals, it was rescored in each new interval until the event ended. For example, after attention had been absent for one complete interval, attention deprivation was scored in each subsequent interval until attention was reinstated. If both the therapist and participant continued to respond across intervals, the original order of responding was maintained at the begin- ning of each interval.

Sessions were coded either during the ses- sion or from videotapes using a computer- ized data-collection system. Interobserver agreement was calculated for frequency mea- sures by breaking sessions into consecutive 10-s intervals and dividing the smaller num- ber of responses recorded by an observer by the larger number of responses recorded by the other observer. The resulting fractions were averaged across intervals and multiplied by 100%. Mean interobserver agreement across participants was 91% for problem be- havior (range, 83% to 100%), 98% for prompts (range, 95% to 100%), 97% for attention delivery (range, 93% to 100%), 99% for delivery of tangible items (range, 98% to 99%), and 95% for removal of tan- gible items (range, 93% to 100%). For par-

140 CYNTHIA M. ANDERSON and ETHAN S. LONG

tial-interval measures, percentages of occur- rence and nonoccurrence agreement were calculated by dividing the number of inter- vals in which both observers agreed on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the response by the total number of intervals and multi- plying by 100%. Mean occurrence and non- occurrence agreement scores for therapist be- haviors across subjects were as follows: atten- tion deprivation, occurrence 98% (range, 92% to 99%), nonoccurrence 99% (range, 97% to 100%); tangible deprivation, occur- rence 100%, nonoccurrence 100%; escape, occurrence 100%, nonoccurrence 100%.

Structured descriptive assessment. Response definitions for problem behavior were iden- tical to those described above. In addition to the boxing helmet, Jane wore arm splints due to concerns raised by her teacher. How- ever, the splints were loosened so that Jane could contact her head with her hand. Be- haviors exhibited by participants and thera- pists were videotaped and scored using a computerized scoring system. Data on ther- apist behavior were collected using 5-s par- tial-interval recording. Target therapist (teacher or parent) behaviors included prompts, attention delivery, tangible deliv- ery, attention deprivation, escape, and tan- gible removal. Prompts were defined as an instruction to complete an action, including physical prompts, and an ongoing instruc- tional context. Requests to verbalize a state- ment (e.g., ‘‘say hi’’) were coded only for Mitch, who was verbal. Attention delivery was scored when the therapist interacted with the participant in a noninstructional manner. This included reprimands, verbal statements toward the child (e.g., ‘‘you look nice today’’), and physical interaction (e.g., hug, pat on the shoulder). Tangible delivery was defined as allowing the participant ac- cess to the predefined preferred stimulus. Tangible delivery was coded if the therapist handed the item to the child, told the child that he or she could have it, or simply al-

lowed the child to independently obtain the item. Response definitions for attention dep- rivation, escape, and tangible removal were identical to those used in the analogue func- tional analysis.

Interobserver agreement, calculated as de- scribed above, was obtained for at least 30% of all sessions for all participants. Mean agreement for problem behavior was 84% (range, 74% to 100%), 94% (range, 86% to 100%), 80% (range, 50% to 99%), and 92% (range, 82% to 100%) for Drew, Jane, Lyle, and Mitch, respectively. Mean occur- rence and nonoccurrence agreement scores for therapist behaviors across participants were as follows: prompt, occurrence 94% (range, 91% to 99%), nonoccurrence 98% (range, 98% to 99%); attention delivery, oc- currence 88% (range, 80% to 94%), non- occurrence 91% (range, 85% to 100%); tan- gible delivery, occurrence 70% (range, 0% to 100%), nonoccurrence 99% (range, 98% to 100%); instruction delivery, occurrence 94% (range 91% to 99%), nonoccurrence 99% (range, 98% to 99%); attention dep- rivation, occurrence 94% (range, 83% to 99%); nonoccurrence 97% (range, 94% to 99%); tangible removal, occurrence 100%, nonoccurrence 100%; escape, occurrence 93% (range, 82% to 100%), nonoccurrence 90% (range, 75% to 100%).

Procedure

The analogue functional analysis was con- ducted prior to the SDA for all participants except Jane, whose assessments were con- ducted simultaneously. All sessions were 10 min in length. In both analyses, sessions were conducted until response differentia- tion was observed or (for Jane) until rates of problem behavior were relatively stable across conditions. Definitions for preferred stimuli were obtained through parental in- terviews and direct observation conducted prior to beginning the study. Preferred stim- uli for each participant were as follows:

141STRUCTURED DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT

Drew, cookies and a mechanical singing plant; Jane, paper; Lyle, automobile maga- zines and toy cars; and Mitch, a train video and toy trains.

Analogue functional analysis. Participants were exposed repeatedly to four or five ex- perimental conditions similar to those de- scribed by Iwata et al. (1982/1994). Con- ditions were randomly presented in a mul- tielement design. All participants were ex- posed to attention, task, and play conditions. A tangible condition was imple- mented with Jane, Lyle, and Mitch, and an alone condition was implemented with Jane and Drew, both of whom exhibited SIB. The tangible condition was not conducted with Drew, because his mother indicated that removal of tangible items never evoked problem behavior and requested that the tangible condition not be conducted. Trained graduate and undergraduate stu- dents served as therapists.

Structured descriptive assessment. Partici- pants were exposed repeatedly to four exper- imental conditions: attention, task, tangible, and play. The classroom teacher served as therapist for Jane, Lyle, and Mitch. Drew’s mother served as his therapist. For all par- ticipants except Drew, sessions were con- ducted during times of the day when certain activities pertaining to each SDA condition normally occurred (e.g., attention sessions occurred when the therapist typically was unable to interact directly with the child). Sessions with Drew were conducted in ran- dom order, because his mother reported that no specific activity schedule was followed. Prior to each session, therapists were given specific instructions about the antecedent condition (detailed below) and were asked to respond to problem behavior as they typ- ically would. Because antecedent conditions were controlled as part of the assessment, therapists were asked to reestablish anteced- ent events if the designated event had not

occurred for 2 min in the absence of prob- lem behavior.

The purpose of the attention condition was to establish the antecedent of attention deprivation. This condition was conducted during times when the therapist typically did not directly interact with the child (e.g., was working with another child). Two minutes prior to beginning the session, the therapist was told, ‘‘Please play with the child as you typically do. Do not give requests or ask the child to engage in any demands at this time.’’ Upon initiation of the session, the therapist was told, ‘‘In this role-play we would like you to pretend this is a time that you cannot directly interact with the child. You may interact with other children or en- gage in another activity, such as working at your desk.’’ The therapist also was asked to keep preferred tangible items out of sight and reach of the child. The task condition, designed to establish the antecedent of pre- sentation of requests to work, was conducted when the participant was expected to com- plete tasks. Jane, Lyle, and Mitch worked on preacademic tasks, specified in their individ- ualized education plans. Drew worked on daily living skills (e.g., copying letters) and receptive language tasks. Similar tasks were used in the analogue functional analysis and the SDA. Removal of preferred tangible items or activities did not occur within 2 min of initiating this condition. At the start of the task condition, the therapist was told, ‘‘In this role-play we want to see how the child responds to requests. Please work with the child on activities that you typically en- gage the child in and use prompting strate- gies you normally use.’’ The tangible con- dition, conducted when access to preferred items was ending (access had occurred for at least 2 min), was designed to establish the antecedent of removal of preferred tangible items. At the beginning of the condition, the therapist was told, ‘‘In this role-play we want to see how the child reacts when preferred

142 CYNTHIA M. ANDERSON and ETHAN S. LONG

activities end. When we tell you to begin, please remove [preferred item]. You may in- teract with the child as you desire, but please refrain from attempting to engage the child in work activities.’’ The play condition was designed to simulate an enriched environ- ment, similar to the play condition of the analogue functional analysis. Preferred items were available, and the therapist was told, ‘‘In this role-play we would like to see how the child responds when you are not making requests and preferred items are available. Please play with the child as you normally do.’’

Data Analysis

Mean rate (number of responses per min- ute) of problem behavior was compared across conditions for the analogue functional analysis and the SDA. However, one impor- tant way that the SDA differed from the an- alogue functional analysis was that the oc- currence of antecedent and consequent events was not controlled. Although we did exert some control over antecedent condi- tions, the frequency and timing of these events were somewhat uncontrolled. Thus, conditional probabilities also were calculated for the SDA to determine the relation be- tween environmental events and problem behavior (Blakeman & Gottman, 1997; Freeman et al., 2000; Lerman & Iwata, 1993). All probabilities were calculated based on the first occurrence of child behav- ior in each interval (i.e., as though child be- havior was coded as a partial-interval mea- sure).

Conditional probabilities were calculated for consequences as described by Lerman and Iwata (1993), except that proportions were calculated for environmental events that occurred within 5 s of the problem be- havior. Also, proportions were calculated only for problem behavior that occurred in the presence of a given antecedent variable, thus taking into account the presence of pu-

tative establishing operations. For example, if a child already had access to a preferred tangible item, emitted problem behavior, and continued to have access to the item, these data were not included in the calcu- lations of tangible delivery as a consequence for problem behavior. This was necessary to control for the fact that therapists may not have implemented the relevant establishing operation throughout some portion of the sessions.

Conditional probabilities were calculated in two ways. First, behavior-based probabil- ities were calculated to determine the pro- portion of problem behavior that occurred within 5 s prior to environmental events by dividing the number of intervals containing problem behavior that preceded the environ- mental event by 5 or fewer seconds by the total number of intervals scored with prob- lem behavior. Second, event-based probabil- ities were calculated to reveal the proportion of intervals containing environmental events that followed problem behavior and were conducted to control for the possibility that the occurrence of environmental events might vary across conditions. These proba- bilities were calculated by dividing the num- ber of intervals containing problem behavior that preceded the environmental event by 5 or fewer seconds by the total number of in- tervals scored with the event.

RESULTS

Figures 1 through 4 depict mean rates of problem behavior across conditions of the analogue functional analysis and the SDA and results of the conditional probability calculations from the SDA for each partici- pant. The mean percentage of session time that antecedent variables were scored in each condition of the analogue functional analysis and the SDA are shown in Table 1. Per- centages were obtained by dividing the num- ber of intervals in which an antecedent stim-

Drew Drew exhibited the highest rates of prob-

lem behavior in the task condition of the analogue functional analysis, suggesting that his problem behavior was maintained by es- cape from tasks (Figure 1). Drew also emit- ted the highest rates of problem behavior in the task condition of the SDA. In interpret- ing the conditional probability data, one would have the most confidence in a hy- pothesized function (e.g., escape) if that event consistently followed problem behav- ior, but only in the relevant condition (e.g., task), and other events (e.g., attention deliv- ery, tangible delivery) rarely followed prob- lem behavior in any of the conditions. Fig- ure 1 shows that occurrences of problem be- havior were often followed by escape in both

the task condition (M 5 53%) and the play condition (M 5 67%), whereas escape never occurred in the attention and tangible con- ditions. In addition, attention and tangible delivery rarely occurred in any condition. These results are consistent with the hypoth- esis that Drew’s problem behavior was main- tained by escape, with one exception: The conditional probabilities of problem behav- ior and escape were high in the play condi- tion (not solely in the task condition). How- ever, it should be noted that some prompts were presented in the play condition, which likely evoked escape-maintained problem be- havior.

Jane Jane emitted high rates of SIB in all con-

ditions of the analogue functional analysis, but rates were highest in the task condition (Figure 2). Further analysis of within-session

patterns of responding revealed that SIB oc- curred almost continuously throughout the task condition (i.e., during escape intervals as well as when prompting occurred; data are available from the first author upon request). Thus, results suggested that Jane’s SIB was either multiply maintained or maintained by nonsocial reinforcement. As in the analogue functional analysis, Jane emitted high rates of SIB across all conditions of the SDA, and rates were slightly higher in the task condi- tion. Event-based conditional probabilities for the SDA revealed that less than half the occurrences of targeted social variables that occurred in the presence of relevant anteced- ent conditions followed SIB, and escape was only slightly more likely to follow SIB com- pared to other consequences. Further, very small proportions of SIB were followed by any social consequence when the relevant es- tablishing condition was present. These re- sults suggest that responding was maintained by nonsocial reinforcement because SIB was not differentially related to the presence or absence of social variables.

Lyle

Lyle exhibited problem behavior almost exclusively in the attention condition of the analogue functional analysis, suggesting that problem behavior was maintained by atten- tion (Figure 3). Although he also emitted high rates of responding in the attention condition of the SDA, similar rates were ob- served in the tangible condition. This find- ing suggested that Lyle’s problem behavior was maintained by both attention and access to tangible items. Conditional probabilities for both the attention and tangible condi- tions showed that, given the antecedent of attention deprivation, the vast majority of intervals containing attention delivery fol- lowed problem behavior, and problem be- havior in both conditions was frequently fol- lowed by attention delivery (65% in atten- tion, 85% in tangible). Conversely, tangible

delivery never followed problem behavior in any condition. This finding suggested that problem behavior was maintained by atten- tion only. Inspection of overall levels of the antecedent events during the SDA (see Table 1) indicates that, in the tangible condition, tangible deprivation was in effect for 100% of the intervals; tangible items were never provided to Lyle contingent on problem be- havior in the tangible (or any other) condi- tion. Further, attention deprivation occurred in more than half (58%) of the intervals in the tangible condition. Thus, this condition resembled the attention condition. The pres- ence of attention deprivation and contingent access to attention in the tangible condition likely accounts for the high rates of problem behavior.

Mitch

Mitch emitted the highest rates of aggres- sion in the tangible condition of the ana- logue functional analysis, suggesting that problem behavior was maintained by access to preferred tangible items (Figure 4). In the SDA, Mitch emitted aggression primarily during the task condition, suggesting that aggression was maintained by escape from or avoidance of tasks. The conditional proba- bilities showed that the only consequence that occurred contiguous to problem behav- ior was escape from tasks. As shown in Table 1, tangible deprivation was in effect during a large proportion of the tangible sessions of the SDA, indicating that the relevant estab- lishing operation was in effect (see further discussion below). Nevertheless, Mitch rarely emitted problem behavior in this condition, and when he did, it was not followed by tangible delivery. Further, prompts were pre- sented in almost 70% of the intervals during the task condition, indicating that the rele- vant establishing operation a
