TI  - Functional Analysis and Successful Treatment of a Captive Rhesus Macaque's 
      Disruptive Behavior.

AB  - Functional analysis (FA) is a method developed and used by behavior analysts in 
      human clinical settings to identify possible environmental variables that 
      reinforce undesired behavior. FA is increasingly being applied to better 
      understand the behavior of nonhuman animals. When training monkeys in a room with 
      others, disruptive behavior displayed by neighboring monkeys can impede training 
      progress. In the present study, a FA identified possible reinforcers of 
      disruptive behavior (loud shaking of a toy) exhibited frequently (24% duration 
      pre-treatment) by a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) during in-room training 
      sessions. The functional analysis identified that contingent delivery of foods 
      was maintaining the disruptive behavior, with a mean percent duration of 57% in 
      this condition. The implementation of a function-based treatment consisting of 
      continuous access to a preferred food during in-room training sessions 
      successfully decreased disruptive behavior by over 90% as measured during 15 
      subsequent sessions. This study advances the current literature applying 
      functional analysis to nonhuman primates as a means of determining the 
      reinforcers maintaining aberrant or undesirable behavior and applying effective 
      treatments based on understanding this function.
