Note. Functions with a superscript A indicate agreements, functions in parentheses with a superscript (−) indicate false negatives, and functions with a superscript (+) indicate false positives (FA = functional analysis; A-B = antecedent-behavior; B-C = behavior-consequence; % intervals = percent intervals of problem behavior; p/C = conditional probability of each consequence).
