BACB Terms 3 Content Area 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Baseline | 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. |
| Behavioral view of “sensory defensiveness” | Tactile stimuli are negative reinforcers |
| Complete Behavioral Support Plan | 4 Elements: motivational operations, discriminative control, replacement behaviors and consequence manipulations |
| Conditional probability | 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. |
| Contextual Variables (setting events) | 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. |
| Dependent Group Contingency | Reinforcer for a group depends on the behavior of a single person or small # of people |
| Ecological Changes | Changing schedules, staffing patterns, activities, diet, etc. |
| How to compute conditional probability of A-B sequences | # A–>B / # A |
| How to compute conditional probability of B-C sequences | # B–>C / # B |
| Interventions that follow from assessment | Ecological changes, antecedent manipulation, replacement skills, change consequences of appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, emergency procedures, motivational operations |
| Lag 1 | "Examines the liklihood that an event occurs given another event that occurs just before.Example: A –> B" |
| Lag 2 | "Examines the liklihood that an event occurs given another event that occurs 2 events prior.Example: A2 –> A –> B" |
| Lag sequential analysis | '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) |
| Measure for task completion | # tasks completed / # tasks given or # tasks completed vs # tasks not completed |
| Naturalistic behavioral assesment | Behavioral assessment that occurs in the natural environment. |
| Pattern Analysis | 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. |
| Pica | Consuming inedible items (e.g., screws, bolts, small toys) |
| Replacement Skills | New skills that are taught to replace target behaviors in order to obtain the same reinforcer |
| Sequence Analysis | Identifying events that typically precede and follow a target behavior. Also called ABC Analysis. |
| Testing Hypothesis in Functional Analysis | 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. |
