Please write a discussion post for the next instruction: <\/span><\/p>\n

For this assignment it is important to know that \u201ccontingency\u201d in the ABA field means: the relationship between a behavior and its consequences. It encompasses the principle that behaviors are influenced by the events that immediately follow them.  It is based on this components: Antecedent, behavior, and consequences. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, to help you with your writing, here is a definition and brief explanation of what an FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) is : <\/span><\/p>\n

FBA:<\/span> An FBA(Functional behavior assessment) is an assessment that helps us understand why a behavior occurs, in other words, it is used to identify the source of reinforcement for challenging behaviors (Reinforcement is a consequence that increases the future frequency of that type of behavior that immediately precedes it.)<\/span><\/p>\n
