Abstract

An emphasis on behavioral analysis, including delineation of antecedent conditions, has characterized the work of a rather large group of researchers and clinicians in recent years. Observational, or descriptive analysis, is now widely carried out, and instruments have been developed to facilitate such analysis. In spite of frequency of use in the clinic and laboratory, and as reported in journals, there is little data on the reliability of these measures. This study reports on the reliability of the Detailed Behavior Report (DBR), one instrument currently in use for conducting observational functional assessment.
