Abstract
Of the diagnostic features of autism, relatively little research has been devoted to restricted and repetitive behavior, particularly topographically complex forms of restricted and repetitive behavior such as rigidity in routines or compulsive-like behavior (e.g., arranging objects in patterns or rows). Like vocal or motor stereotypy, topographically complex forms of restricted and repetitive behavior may be associated with negative outcomes such as interference with skill acquisition, negative social consequences, and severe problem behavior associated with interruption of restricted and repetitive behavior. In the present study, we extended functional analysis methodology to the assessment and treatment of arranging and ordering for 3 individuals with an autism spectrum disorder. For all 3 participants, arranging and ordering was found to be maintained by automatic reinforcement, and treatments based on function reduced arranging and ordering.

Interesting article.
Great Read! Easy to follow.
Good overview of the FA process. We need more.
This was a good read, straight forward and worthwhile.
I really don’t like how a singular error causes your score to be reduced by 2 points. During most quizes it doesn’t make a difference because you have to retake the quiz even if you get one wrong, but getting your score reduced by ‘2’ when you only got 1 question incorrect. What it “appears” to be doing is reducing the score by ‘1’ for selecting the incorrect answer and additionally reducing your score by ‘1’ for not selecting the correct answer. Might just be a technology adjustment?
That is not how our quiz scoring works. Some questions, however, have multiple correct answers (“check all that apply” type questions) and are worth multiple points. Thus, on those questions you can have your score reduced by 2 or more points if you do not select 2 or more of the possible correct answers (i.e., your score is not reduced by multiple points for making a “singular error” — it is reduced by multiple points for making multiple errors). If you believe a quiz is being scored incorrectly, please contact our helpdesk with a description and evidence of your claim.
