Final answer:

In behavioral psychology's functional analysis, both 'Attention' and 'Play' are included as conditions to identify the variables that support certain behaviors. Therefore, the answer to the question is c) Both A and B are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question 'Included in the conditions presented during a functional analysis of behavior is/are: a) Attention b) Play c) Both A and B are correct d) None of the above' relates to the methods used to assess behavior in behavioral psychology. Functional analysis is a strategy that attempts to identify the antecedents and consequences that maintain a problematic behavior. Within the context of functional analysis, both 'Attention' and 'Play' can be conditions that are presented. 'Attention' refers to assessing whether a behavior is maintained by social attention, whereas 'Play' can serve as a control condition where the individual has free access to preferred activities and is often used as a baseline to compare with other conditions. Thus, the correct answer would be c) Both A and B are correct.

As for the other terms mentioned in the provided information:

  • 'Modeling process' refers to the steps involved in observational learning, as outlined by Bandura - attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.
  • 'Symbolic interactionist' would most likely use Participant observation as their research technique.
  • Two forms of associative learning are classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
