Which of the following is not considered a type of function of behavior identified during functional assessment?

Control
Attention
Frustration
Access to tangibles

The correct answer is: Frustration

The function of behavior in the context of functional assessment helps identify the purpose or reason behind a behavior. Common functions include gaining attention, obtaining access to tangible items or activities, and escaping or avoiding a situation. Frustration, while it may contribute to the occurrence of certain behaviors, is not categorized as a primary function of behavior in the same way as attention, control, or access to tangibles. Functions of behavior typically relate to how the behavior serves the individual in their environment, whether it be to achieve specific outcomes or to interact with their surroundings effectively. This distinction highlights that frustration does not typically serve as a direct motivator for behavior but rather as an emotional state that could lead to behaviors that fall under other functions.
