Escape condition
Also called demand condition
Definition
A functional analysis test condition in which demands are presented and problem behavior produces a brief break from them. High rates suggest the behavior is maintained by escape.
Example from a session
The therapist presents tasks, and each time the learner hits, the task is removed for 30 seconds.
