Summary: | This study sought to extend functional methodology to the assessment and treatment of habits. After a descriptive assessment indicated that coughing occurred while eating, a brief functional analysis suggested that social attention was the maintaining variable.

We discuss the appropriateness of using functional analysis procedures for deriving treatments for habits in a clinical setting. |
