摘要

Functional analyses are important in developing function-based interventions. Although functional analyses often result in clear outcomes identifying one or more variables maintaining challenging behavior, they sometimes produce unclear or inconclusive outcomes due to the relevant antecedent and/or consequence events not being programmed. The objective of the current study was to conduct a retrospective consecutive case series to analyze the prevalence of clinical cases in which clinicians found challenging behavior was maintained by one or more idiosyncratic variables. For the 24 cases included in this review, we present a quantitative analysis of the functional analysis modifications made to identify the idiosyncratic variable(s), prevalence of idiosyncratic outcomes, and population demographics (e.g., age, diagnoses, vocal language level). The reinforcer maintaining challenging behavior was most frequently found in the mand compliance and interruption test conditions. In addition, we observed some differences in the vocal language level of the individuals across idiosyncratic FA outcomes.
