A=Antecedent. What happened immediately before the behavior? Was there any event or
activity that preceded the behavior?
B=Behavior. The behavior should be defined in observable, objective terms. C=Consequence.
What happened immediately following the behavior?
Function of behavior = this is your hypothesis. Using what you have learned about behavior,
what is the most likely function? Is the child trying to get something, and if so, what? This could
be tangibles such as access to a toy, a preferred activity or even attention. Is the child trying to
escape from something, and if so, what? This could be escape from an unwanted task such as
cleaning up toys.
Part 2: Behavior Change Chart
For Part 2, using your hypothesis and the information from your ABC chart, fill out the template
in DocSharing and manipulate variables to determine if your hypothesis is correct in order to
pick the best course of action to take with Emily. You can only manipulate one variable at a
time in order to determine what would be most effective in modifying Emily's behavior. First
you will manipulate the antecedent. When you changed the antecedent (A), what do you
predict will happen and why? If you do not get the desired behavior change (B), then you need
to try manipulating another variable. In this case, you will then manipulate the consequence
(C). What do you predict will happen with the behavior (B) and why?
