BACB BCABA Question Answer

A behavior analyst has been consulting for a client who repeatedly pushes her knuckles into her eyes. After conducting a functional analysis, implementing a function-based intervention plan, and ensuring all staff were thoroughly trained on the intervention procedures, data indicate the client's behavior has increased over the last month. What consideration is MOST likely to have been overlooked prior to conducting the FA?

The behavior may be a symptom of the client's disability.

Staff may lack competence for carrying out the intervention.

There may be a biological/medical variable affecting the client.

The increase in the behavior should have been anticipated due to an extinction burst.
