Gothic Architecture
answer
stained glass were common, rose windows over entrances, zodiac symbols common,
question
Baseline
answer
Pre-intervention assessment that is used to refine recording procedures, design the intervention and provide data with which to compare intervention data when evaluating intervention effects.
question
Behavioral view of “sensory defensiveness”
answer
Tactile stimuli are negative reinforcers
question
Complete Behavioral Support Plan
answer
4 Elements: motivational operations, discriminative control, replacement behaviors and consequence manipulations
question
Conditional probability
answer
The likelihood of an event occurring, given another event (e.g., how often a behavior occurs, given an antecedent). Formula: #A--> B/ # A OR # B --> C/# B.
question
Contextual Variables (setting events)
answer
Variables that are more generally present stimuli that are not necessarily manipulated as part of a behavior change program. May influence the efficacy of behavioral procedures. Ex: medical status, task variation, number of staff, etc.
question
Dependent Group Contingency
answer
Reinforcer for a group depends on the behavior of a single person or small # of people
question
Ecological Changes
answer
Changing schedules, staffing patterns, activities, diet, etc.
question
How to compute conditional probability of A-B sequences
answer
# A-->B / # A
question
How to compute conditional probability of B-C sequences
answer
# B-->C / # B
question
Interventions that follow from assessment
answer
Ecological changes, antecedent manipulation, replacement skills, change consequences of appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, emergency procedures, motivational operations
question
Lag 1
answer
"Examines the liklihood that an event occurs given another event that occurs just before.Example: A --> B"
question
Lag 2
answer
"Examines the liklihood that an event occurs given another event that occurs 2 events prior.Example: A2 --> A --> B"
question
Lag sequential analysis
answer
'Computations that examine the liklihood that an event will occur given another event. It can be between an A and B, or between a B and C. Formula for A and B: Prob(A-->B)/Prob(A). Formula for B and C: Prob(B-->C)/Prob(B)
question
Measure for task completion
answer
# tasks completed / # tasks given or # tasks completed vs # tasks not completed
question
Naturalistic behavioral assesment
answer
Behavioral assessment that occurs in the natural environment.
question
Pattern Analysis
answer
Looking for patterns of behavior, noting any kind of correlation of behavior and some other factor. Ex: time of day, staff, curriculum, etc. Common type of pattern analysis is scatterplot.
question
Pica
answer
Consuming inedible items (e.g., screws, bolts, small toys)
question
Replacement Skills
answer
New skills that are taught to replace target behaviors in order to obtain the same reinforcer
question
Sequence Analysis
answer
Identifying events that typically precede and follow a target behavior. Also called ABC Analysis.
question
Testing Hypothesis in Functional Analysis
answer
Conditions are arranged to test the hypothesis. Ex: to assess behavior thought to occur for attention, compare condition in which attention is given after behavior with that where attention is withheld after behavior.
