answer:

conducting an assessment of the three-term contingency to determine the antecedent event that evokes the behavior and reinforcing the consequences that maintain it. this is the process of identifying these variables before treating a problem behavior. conducting a functional assessment is always the first step in using behavior modification procedures to decrease problem behaviors

primary purpose of functional assessment is to identify the function of problem behavior
