Accelerating stimuli for two classes of coercive behaviors

The analyses showed that class members in a class shared a common set of maintaining consequences and correlated with altered probabilities for the immediate recurrence of a target event.

Abstract

The analyses focused on a means by which classes of events may be derived from sequential data. A prior analyses of family interaction has derived two classes labeled Hostile and Social Aggression. Events in a class were initiated by a common network of antecedent behaviors. The current analyses showed that class members also shared a common set of maintaining consequences. These events correlated with altered probabilities for the immediate recurrence of a target event.
