In this video, Dr. Raymond Fung will explain the concepts of Operant Behavior and Respondent Behavior.

Dr. Raymond Fung will explain how to understand why certain behaviors increase or decrease by analyzing the costs and benefits associated with the behavior.

To change behavior effectively, it is essential to first understand its function. At AP, we highly consider not only the accuracy of methods in assessing behaviors but also their practicality and efficiency. In this video, Dr. Raymond Fung will share ten questions that can help you identify the underlying functions of behavior.

Manipulative behavior typically serves 4main functions: object acquisition, attention, avoidance, and self-stimulation. At AP, we also consider additional functions beyond these four. Dr. Raymond Fung will explore these additional functions with you in detail.

In addition to the cost, benefits, and function of behavior, other factors also influence its occurrence. Dr. Raymond Fung will explain how to gain a deeper understanding of behavior by examining additional relevant information.

Intervention methods for operant behavior are generally divided into proactive and reactive approaches. At AP, we strongly believe that a proactive approach is more effective than a reactive one. Dr. Raymond Fung will explain the importance of adopting a proactive approach.

To successfully address students’ problem behaviors, we must teach them appropriate alternative behaviors. Dr. Raymond Fung will explain the various approaches to proactive strategies.
