“…For participant characteristics, we coded age, sex, reported psychiatric diagnoses, and genetic syndromes, as well as reported topographies of problem behavior. For J. E. Carr et al (1998), we indicated that the patient's name was not reported and for Taylor et al (1994), we indicated that the IDD diagnosis for Devin was unspecified. We coded the following categories of problem behavior: physical aggression, property destruction, self-injurious behavior, inappropriate vocalizations, noncompliance, and elopement.…”

“…Oliver et al (1993) examined the relationship between the duration of social interaction and the rate of problem behavior. J. E. Carr et al (1998) assessed the percentage of 15-s intervals in which both problem behavior and social interaction occurred. Lastly, Slocum et al (2022) implemented a latency-based avoidance assessment with their four participants following the functional analysis.…”

“…Over 30 years ago, E. G. Carr (1994) discussed that in addition to problem behavior that is maintained by demand escape, there appeared to be emerging evidence that for certain individuals problem behavior was maintained by social escape. Following an undifferentiated functional analysis, J. E. Carr et al (1998) hypothesized that the problem behavior of a 33-year-old female with intellectual disability and psychosis was maintained by social escape given frequent problem behavior in their toy play condition, which included social interaction. They observed a correlation between the delivery of therapist attention and problem behavior in this condition.…”

Research has shown that problem behavior (e.g., aggression) demonstrated by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can be maintained by escape from social interaction (i.e., social escape). Social interaction is an important variable related to overall quality of life and decreased social interaction has been associated with negative health outcomes. Thus, for individuals who present with problem behavior maintained by social escape there may be increased risk for negative ramifications should the social escape function go unidentified or untreated. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the extant literature on behavior-analytic assessment and treatment of problem behavior maintained by social escape with individuals with IDD. Our review found 18 studies providing demonstrations of assessment and 11 studies providing demonstrations of treatment for the social escape function. Although there have been demonstrations of effective treatment for problem behavior maintained by social escape, the extant literature on treatment has been limited with respect to the number of demonstrations and with methodologies utilized. We discuss the limitations of the current literature and discuss future avenues for research on the social escape function.

“…Within-session analyses of data collected from 15-second (e.g., Carr et al, 1998) and 10-second (e.g., Vollmer et al, 1993) partialinterval scoring methods undoubtedly provide the researcher/clinician information that is superior to that obtained from analyses of the session totals alone. However, albeit more laborious, the RTR method described by Miltenberger et al (1999) supplants the need to plot the within-session data for visual inspection.…”

Using Real-Time Recording to Enhance the Analysis of Within-Session Functional Analysis Data

Functional analysis methods have become standard practice for determining the maintaining variables of problem behavior. The analysis of within-session response patterns has been proposed as a useful adjunct to the functional analysis. Many within-session analyses have been conducted on data obtained from interval scoring methods. However, interval methods only provide an estimate of within-session data. The authors briefly describe a real-time recording method and provide a rationale for its use. The authors then provide descriptions of several research studies from their lab in which real-time data were crucial in determining behavioral function from experimental analyses.
