Abstract
Functional analysis (FA) methodology has been deemed the best practice in the field of applied behavior analysis. The data collected in an FA allows behavior analysts to develop the most effective and ethical behavior interventions. With the diagnosis for individuals with autism on the rise along with the forecast of adults who will need support, it may be time to take stock of the available literature. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the behavior analytic research over the last 25 years (1997–2022) on FA and treatment for adults who engage in severe problem behavior. Utilizing specific inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in the identification of 28 articles. These articles were examined across participant characteristics, target behavior, FA type, FA settings, interventions, generalization, and maintenance. Implications on adult FA and treatment are discussed along with recommendations for practitioners who desire to support this population.
功能分析（FA）方法被认为是应用行为分析领域的最佳实践。通过功能分析收集的数据，行为分析师可以制定出最有效、最符合道德规范的行为干预措施。随着自闭症患者诊断率的上升，以及对需要支持的成年人的预测，也许是时候对现有文献进行评估了。本综述旨在评估过去 25 年（1997-2022 年）针对有严重问题行为的成年人的 FA 和治疗的行为分析研究。利用特定的纳入和排除标准，最终确定了 28 篇文章。对这些文章的研究涉及参与者特征、目标行为、行为分析类型、行为分析环境、干预措施、推广和维持。文章讨论了对成人 FA 和治疗的影响，并向希望为这一人群提供支持的从业人员提出了建议。
期刊介绍：
Behavioral Interventions aims to report research and practice involving the utilization of behavioral techniques in the treatment, education, assessment and training of students, clients or patients, as well as training techniques used with staff. Behavioral Interventions publishes: (1) research articles, (2) brief reports (a short report of an innovative technique or intervention that may be less rigorous than a research report), (3) topical literature reviews and discussion articles, (4) book reviews.
