question

ABA techniques are broken down into 3 categories:

answer

Comprehensive Individualized Intensive early intervention

question

refers to interventions that address a full range of life skills, from communication and sociability to self-care and readiness for school.

answer

Comprehensive

question

refers to programs designed to begin before age 4.

answer

Early intervention

question

refers to programs that total 25 to 40 hours per week for 1 to 3 years

answer

Intensive

question

also known as VB, is a method of teaching language that focuses on the idea that a meaning of a word is found in their functions. The term was coined by B.F. Skinner. To teach a child with language delays a meaning of a word, one must first teach its function.

answer

Verbal Behavior

question

Who used analysis of Verbal Behavior or VB that's in conjunction with ABA to assess and facilitate the development of language skills?

answer

B.F Skinner

question

What is still Applied Behavior Analysis but its emphasis is the functional analysis of language rather than behavior in general?

answer

VB or Verbal Behavior

question

Echoics Mands Tacts Intraverbals.

answer

Skinner states the basic verbal parts of language include:

question

Repeating what is heard or imitating what someone else has said

answer

Echoics

question

Asking for reinforcers that you want or requesting or demanding

answer

Mands

question

Naming or identifying objects, actions, events, etc.

answer

Tacts

question

exchange of words between two individuals in which the exchanged words do not match conversation

answer

Intraverbals

Skinner, 1957 is reading, without any implications that the reader understands what is being read.

answer

Textual behavior

question

consists of writing and spelling words that are spoken Skinner, 1957

answer

Transcription

question

occurs in steps three - six and prevents the child from just learning how to only expressively label something or how to only identify something among pictures and places as occurs often in ABA.

answer

Generalization

question

Skinner also referred to this behavior as taking dictation, with the key repertoires involving not only the manual production of letters, but also accurate spelling of the spoken word

answer

Transcription is also refered to as what?

question

seeks to understand why a person is engaging in a behavior targeted for change by identifying and modifying the environmental variables that motivate, trigger and maintain behavior.

answer

ABA also does what?

question

A relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience.

answer

Learning

question

Founder of Classical Conditioning.

answer

Ivan Pavlov

question

Behaviors are learned by association and experiences. A form of behavioral learning in which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the power to elicit the same innate reflex produced by another stimulus.

answer

4 Steps of Structured Learning Theory

question

Refers to a more science-based approach that involves keeping most factors or variables unchanged (or constant) while intentionally changing other factors (As and Cs) that might influence the target behavior (B).

answer

Functional Analysis

question

Set goals to guide the interventions and to evaluate how well the interventions are working.

answer

Behavioral Goals

question

Is a count of the frequency of the number of occurrences of the target behavior within a set period of time.

answer

Event Sampling

question

Has to do with whether or not a behavior is present or absent at certain points in time and is useful with behaviors that are not so discrete and are more continuous or difficult to count.

answer

Time Sampling

question

The length of time of the behavior once a behavior or a pattern or sequence of behavior gets started.

answer

Duration

question

Refers to the length of time between the antecedent and the behavior.

answer

Latency

question

answer

Scatter Plot

question

This is a principle of operant conditioning originally identified by David Premack in 1965. According to this principle, some behavior that happens reliably (or without interference by a researcher), can be used as a reinforcer for a behavior that occurs less reliably.

answer

Premack Principle

question

Is essentially using a combination of positive reinforcement and extinction: positive reinforcement to strengthen the behavior in the intended direction, while extinguishing behavior in the unwanted or no longer wanted direction.

answer

Shaping

question

We don't always perform behaviors the same way each and every time.

answer

Behavioral Drift

question

Involves taking two or more relatively simple behaviors and combining the like links into a more complex chain of behaviors.

answer

Chaining

question

Is where one starts with the final link and build additional steps in front of each newly acquired behavioral step.

answer

Backward Chaining, Reverse Chaining

question

Once a behavior is established through the use of reinforcers ad discriminative stimuli such as direct artificial prompts or cues, there's SDs can be faded, or gradually removed from the situation, leaving more naturally occurring SDs to prompt the behavior.

answer

Fading

question

Has to do with the spread of the effects of stimuli and behaviors from specific instances to broader or more general situations.

answer

Generalization

question

A behavior of ours that recognizes or acknowledges the existence of something or somebody.

answer

Attention

question

Is giving a reprimand that is not heard or noticed by others.

answer

Soft Reprimands

question

Refers to reinforcing a behavior in some situations, but not in other situations.

answer

Differential Reinforcement

question

Can be drawn up which is a list of reinforcers that the child can choose from. Each item should have a designated price. The price is the number of tokens the item costs. Reinforcement menus are usually constructed to go along with token programs.

answer

DRO Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors

question

A differential reinforcement where the child performs a behavior that is incompatible with the target behavior, a behavior that can not be performed at the same time.

answer

DRI Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior

question

The payoff is for a limited time only.

answer

Limited Hold

question

Is a way to speed up slow behaviors. The target behavior must be repeated several times within a relatively short time period to receive reinforcement.

answer

question

Is simply a written (usually) statement of what the student is expected to do and what the consequences will be.

answer

Contingency Contract (Behavioral Contract)

question

Can be drawn up which is a list of reinforcers that the child can choose from. Each item should have a designated price. The price is the number of tokens the item costs. Reinforcement menus are usually constructed to go along with token programs.

answer

Reinforcement Menu

question

Is the area in which the reinforcement takes place.

answer

Reinforcement Area

question

Refers to certain structured intense teaching strategies that are sometimes used to teach very specific behaviors.

answer

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

question

An aversive procedure but without as many drawbacks as punishment. A fine is an example of response cost.

answer

Response Cost

question

A short for time out from reinforcement

answer

Time Out

question

Usually involves the gradual tightening of the demands placed on the child in order to continue receiving reinforcement. It is mostly used with children who have a tendency to tantrum to escape or avoid the situation when certain demands are placed on them.

answer

Demand Fading

question

Correcting a behavior

answer

Correction

question

Means correcting and then some.

answer

Over Correction

question

A type of overcorrection in which the child essentially rehearses doing something properly over and over again.

answer

Positive Practice

question

Involves performing the target behavior over and over, without reinforcement, as a way of decreasing the maladaptive behavior

answer

Negative Practice

question

Refers to a situation in which the same behavior is repeated over and over in a relatively short period of time.

answer

Massed Practice

question

Is an approach to learning in which you don't put all your eggs in one basket, as you might with massed practice, but spread you practice out in smaller doses over a longer period of tie.

answer

Distributed Practice

question

Is an empirically validated, function-based approach to eliminate challenging behaviors and replace them with prosocial skills

answer

Positive Behavior Support PBS

question

Is a term that describes any of several approaches used to teach people how to appropriately interact with other people.

answer

Social Skills Training
