#1. Kimberly is a BCBA working with Mia. [Mia] frequently throws herself on the floor and punches herself in the stomach while making a piercing screeching noise. Kimberly wants to conduct a functional analysis but has limited time for Mia. She speaks to Mia’s RBTs, and, based upon their description of the behavior, she predicts that [Mia] does it for attention. She conducts an FA using only attention and play conditions and determines that behavior is reinforced by attention. What type of FA did Kimberly do?

Synthesized FA

Brief FA

Trial-based FA

Latency-based FA

A synthesized FA involves testing a hypothesis about the function by reinforcing only the suspected function and comparing it to a control condition play
