Function is defined in the article as 

"the purpose" or "relation between two variables"

Pretreatment Assessment criteria was... 

the researcher had to identify (or attempt to) variables that affected problem behavior. 


Studies excluded the ones where a functional relation was only demonstrated independent of treatment.

A functional analysis is 

a analysis of problem behavior where antecedents and consequences are set up so we can observe and measure their SEPERATE effects on the problem behavior.
