This course is comprised of a learning module series based on the Article Leisure Items as Controls in the Attention Condition of Functional Analyses by McCord and Neef (2005).

Interpretation of functional analysis data is not always straightforward. As explained by McCord and Neef (2005), whether to include leisure items in the attention condition is one issue, which has implications on the functional analysis procedures one should use, how the data are interpreted, and the conclusions that could be made. At the completion of this CE program, the learner will be able to describe these issues and identify correct applications of the recommendations made by McCord and Neef (2005). If you are interested in this CE program, read Leisure items as controls in the attention condition of functional analyses by McCord and Neef (2005). (This article is available free of charge on the JABA web site.) Then purchase and complete the program to earn your CE credits.

About this course

About this course:

This course uses a fluency model.  This model involves answering a series of questions, first during acquisition modules (one hour per module), and then again during fluency modules (which have a shorter time criterion).  The fluency model provides many opportunities for practice.  Each question is accompanied by a hint, to be used unless you are absolutely certain you know the answer. When hints are used properly, fluency-based courses can be errorless or near-errorless. Keep in mind that fluency-based courses employ a practice (active student responding) model that involves completing learning exercises that are similar to tests, but include hints and feedback. Concepts are learned when users consistently make correct discriminations on questions designed to teach concepts and promote generalization. This course is recommended for BCBAs and BCaBAs.
