In psychology and education, functional behavior analysis, or FBA, is a methodical, scientific methodology that helps determine the reason behind a behavior. In the discipline of applied behavior analysis (ABA), it is frequently used to evaluate and treat problematic behaviors, particularly in those with behavioral or developmental disorders. Information on the behavior itself, the consequences (events that follow the act), and the antecedents (events or stimuli that occur before the behavior) are gathered during the process. Finding links and patterns that provide light on the behavior's causes is the aim. The foundation of behavior-based approach (FBA) is the idea that every behavior has a purpose, and that creating successful intervention techniques requires a grasp of that reason.
