Toward a functional analysis of self-injury. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis
Iwata, B. A., Dorsey, M. F., Slifer, K. J., Bauman, K. E., & Richman, G. S. (1994). Toward a functional analysis of self-injury. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 27, 197-209. Reprinted from Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, 2, 3-20.
This study used operant methodology to determine a functional relationship between self-injury and environmental and specific environmental effects.

This is a Redshelf book which you will access through the Getting Started module or the Bookshelf on the top navigation bar in the course.

Read Chapter 5.

This book provides an overview and instructions for both assessment of a functional analysis and treatment recommendations based on the findings in that analysis.

Identifying the effects of idiosyncratic variables of functional analysis outcomes: A case study
Edwards, W. H., Magee, S. K., & Ellis, J. (2002). Identifying the effects of idiosyncratic variables of functional analysis outcomes: A case study. Education and Treatment of Children,25, 317-330.
Functional analyses are used in a variety of settings. This study identifies the effects of unusual or individual environmental variables that may impact findings.
Toward the development of structured criteria for interpretation of functional analysis data
Hagopian, L. P., Fisher, W. W., Thompson, R. H., Owen-DeSchryver, J., Iwata, B. A., & Wacker, D. P. (1997). Toward the development of structured criteria for interpretation of functional analysis data. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 30, 313-326.
The purpose of this study was to identify a specific criteria for visual inspection of a multielement functional analysis that, when applied, would increase the reliability and validity of visual inspection of the data.
Functional analysis and treatment of low-rate problem behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities
Tarbox, J. Wallace, M. D., Tarbox, R. S. F., Landaburu, H. J., & Williams, W. L. (2004). Functional analysis and treatment of low-rate problem behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities. Behavioral Interventions, 19, 73-90.
Relative influences of establishing operations and reinforcement contingencies on self-injurious behavior during functional analyses
Worsdell, A. S., Iwata, B. A., Conners, J., Kahng, S., & Thompson, R. H. (2000). Relative influences of establishing operations and reinforcement contingencies on self-injurious behavior during functional analyses. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 33, 451-461.
In this study the authors evaluate the relative influences of establishing operations and reinforcement contingencies on problem behavior by exposing 6 participants to 4 test conditions using EO’s.
