Title:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT THE EXPLOSION OF THE BEHAVIOURAL CRISIS?

Authors:

Abstract:
The person, as is easy to guess, learns to use problem behaviour to exert control over the environment, hence the need to use functional analysis to understand which antecedent conditions favour it and which consequent conditions maintain it. For various reasons, however, functional analysis does not always succeed in meeting these needs. Starting from these assumptions, the author's interest was focused on possible precursors that in some way anticipate a possible behavioural ‘explosion’, and after observing more than 3,000 subjects, nine activators were identified with which it was possible to predict the ‘outbreak’ of a crisis.
