The use of ABC charts can be particularly valuable for those individuals who may struggle to articulate themselves. In these circumstances, behaviour – including self-injurious behaviour – may be serving as a way for the individual to communicate their wants and needs. This includes people recovering from brain injury, people with dementia, children with special educational needs (SEN) and individuals with autism. In JoJolion, the Stands in the Higashikata Family all have "King" in their names ( Paper Moon King, Nut King Call, King Nothing, California King Bed, Speed King, Wal king Heart, Awa king III Leaves, and Space Truc king). While Josuke Higashikata, adopted into the family, does not fall into this pattern, one of his components' Stands is named Killer Queen, whose name bearing Queen is a counterpart to the Higashikatas' Kings. If you have a classroom assistant, you may want to explain what you are doing to them and ask them to help you record the behaviour.

One guide suggests that for a single target behaviour, observations should be carried out over 2-3 sessions, depending on the frequency of the behaviour. If you aim to record multiple behaviours, you will need more data to draw meaningful conclusions – ideally between 3 to 7 school days. (Reference: Martella et al., 2012).

A Stand is ordinarily invulnerable to any harm except against another Stand or if their Stand user is harmed. In the rare case that a powerful enough force is exerted on a Stand, it can take damage. [43] You can use the ABC model to help parents or carers understand what is happening. In addition, it helps understand why and how behaviour occurs. It works by offering specific descriptions of what triggers or reinforces a behaviour. Behaviour is commonly thought of as having one of four functions (often referred to using the acronym SEAT): The information that is recorded in the Antecedent Behaviour Consequence model can help us to work out patterns of behaviour. It can therefore be used to develop more effective management of that behaviour.

Ask yourself – Has the daily schedule changed? Have I helped the child to learn the routine? 3. Interaction Yes. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, we do conduct periodical maintenance on our servers to ensure that they are at optimum operational efficiency.

An adult’s punishment, for instance, can cause the behaviour to worsen. If so, you can list them as “Consequence” on one row and “Antecedent” on the following chart. To learn more about Consequences and Antecedents, take a look at our Classroom Behaviour Management Course – Level 3. What is CRISIS? In his studies of operant conditioning, the psychologist B.F. Skinner explored how human behaviour could be described by examining the causes and effects of intentional behaviour. Operant conditioning suggests that behaviours which are learnt can be encouraged with positive reinforcement , or discouraged by withholding positive reinforcement or applying punishment.
