Welcome back to BCBA Exam Prep. In this video, we review Functions of Behavior, one of the highest-frequency topics on the BCBA® exam and the core foundation of functional behavior assessment (FBA). More than 60% of scenario-based questions require accurate function identification. If you misidentify the function, you select the wrong intervention. And on the exam — wrong function means wrong answer. In this video, you will learn: • What “function” truly means in behavioral terms • Why function is determined by consequence, not topography • The four major functions: Escape, Tangible, Attention, and Automatic • How to differentiate Tangible vs Attention • How to distinguish Automatic vs Escape • Common BCBA exam traps related to mixed reinforcers • How to analyze ABC data logically • How to write a clear, testable function hypothesis • How to match intervention to the maintaining consequence Understanding behavior function is essential for effective intervention planning, ethical practice, and accurate exam decision-making. 🔹 BCBA® Exam PracticeTry a free full-length BCBA® mock exam here:https://bcbamockexam.com/free-bcba-mo... BCBA Exam Prep focuses on decision-based reasoning, helping you analyze consequence patterns rather than guessing based on behavior appearance. Because in applied behavior analysis, form does not equal function — and intervention must match the maintaining variable.
