Janet is a bright ten-year-old girl who frequently complains of being bored. During silent independent reading each day, she leaves her book unopened on her desk, and generally will leave her seat and disrupt the other students around her. The teacher calls her up to the front of the classroom and reprimands Janet each day, then sends her back to her seat. Janet soon leaves her seat again. If you were conducting a functional behavior assessment of Janet, what label would you use for the fact that Janet gets to alleviate her boredom by getting called up in front of the class and reprimanded by the teacher?
