“…Sequential analysis has been used, for example, for assessing family interactions by Bakeman and Casey (1995), and the engaged behavior of students with disabilities by Logan, Bakeman, and Keefe (1997). More recently, it has been applied also to the study of the influence of peer interaction on spontaneous scientific reasoning by adolescents (Batista & Rodrigo, 2002), the extent to which typically developing preschoolers were responsive to parental print references during a shared bookreading interaction (Justice, Weber, Ezell, & Bakeman, 2002), and the physician-patient dialogue surrounding patients' expressions of emotional cues and concerns (Eide, Quera, & Finset, 2003;Eide, Quera, Graugaard, & Finset, 2004). Quera and Bakeman (2000) explicitly state that sequential analysis can also be used to study the development of social skills and play in children, family relationships, interaction in clinical and educational settings, and communication processes.…”
