“…Evans et al (1988) has demonstrated that when a behavior is reduced in frequency, some other behavior does replace the excess behavior. Behavioral research emphasizing generalization has, in a way, been examining how changes in one component of an ecosystem can effect changes in the relationships between other components of the system.…”

Over the past few years, developmental and community theorists have begun speculating about and researching transactional and ecological processes. Rather than just focus on individual-unit phenomena, the transactional theorists point to reciprocal effects of different systems such that people are influenced and influence others over long periods of time. Ecological theorists have identified interrelationships between different systems or ecologies. Although behavioral investigators frequently study more attribute-type phenomena, methods invented to capture behavior change could be used to analyze transactional and ecological processes. In this paper, an attempt is made to explain the behavioral methodologies that could be used to help investigators better understand transactions and ecological processes.

“…The most sophisticated writings in the behavioral field on these ecological variables have come from Evans and colleagues (Evans, Meyer, Kurkjian, & Kishi, 1988). They state that positive generalization effects can happen when a snowballing effect occurs, where change produces ripple effects on interactions with others.…”

“…The extensive literature review re ported by Voeltz and Evans (1982) and updated by Evans, Meyer, Kurkjian, and Kishi (1988) clearly doc umented the continuing narrow focus on changes in only the referral target behavior in the published liter ature, despite widespread theoretical support for and growing anecdotal information regarding unintended collateral (positive) and side (negative) effects. Voeltz and Evans (1983) argued that the dominant research paradigm apparently is failing to provide for such phe nomena in the design and evaluation of intervention studies.…”

This article describes principles and practices of data collection to evaluate the attainment of meaningful out comes in educational services for students with severe disabilities and serious behavior problems. In contrast to a limited outcome such as a temporary change in one target behavior in a controlled clinical setting, an ex panded definition of effectiveness would require evidence of a range of more meaningful outcomes for child, school, family, and community. Several user-friendly measures to document such outcomes are described, which were field-tested in an educational consultation project serving students with severe disabilities and chal lenging behaviors in integrated schools. The article con cludes with a discussion of the advantages of an empha sis upon both meaningful outcomes and the use of measurement strategies that blend well and have high utility for typical schools while simultaneously increas ing programmatic rigor and general school responsibil ity for what happens to students.DESCRIPTORS: applied behavior analysis, assess ment, behavioral assessment, behavioral management, data collection, decision-making, educational validity, excess behavior, functional analysis, research evaluation

“…However, the task of defining behavioral escalation is a different matter altogether (Baer, 1982;Evans, Meyer, Kurkjian, & Kishi, 1988;Fox & Hoffman, 2002;Shukla-Mehta & Albin, 2002). Rarely do people think in terms of the structural pattern or the manner in which the various problematic responses are sequentially organized.…”
