Educational Psychology / Unit 8   EDP 0744 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Triggers

Captions available

The idea

Teachers of students with behavior disorders first identify triggers: physiological, such as hunger; physical setting, such as noise; and instructional choices, such as unexplained transitions.

In practice

A student who erupts before lunch every day may be reacting to hunger, not to the lesson.

Where people slip

Identifying triggers is the root of a functional behavioral assessment.
