question
Multiple Exemplar Training
answer
Using many different stimuli to teach a skill to promote generalization.
question
Phase Change Line
answer
demonstrates a change in conditions on a graph
question
Solid Vertical Line
answer
Represents a phase change line on a graph
question
3-Step Discrimination Training Procedure
answer
teach in isolation, add distracters, mix in mastered items
question
Generalization
answer
Can occur through different settings, SDs and stimuli
question
Functions of behavior
answer
Access to tangibles, access to attention, escape/avoidance, automatic
question
Conditioned Reinforcer
answer
anything that is paired with a primary reinforcer
question
Unconditioned Reinforcer
answer
things such as food and shelter that are inherently reinforcing
question
Forward Chaining
answer
teaching a behavioral skill beginning with the first step
question
Backward Chaining
answer
teaching a behavioral skill beginning with the last step
question
Duration
answer
The amount of time/length that a behavior occurs for
question
Frequency/Rate
answer
The number of times a behavior/ response occurs per unit of time
question
Latency
answer
The length of time between an initial instruction and a learner's response
question
Stimulus Control
answer
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimuli.
question
DRA
answer
A procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative for a challenging behavior is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished.
question
DRI
answer
a procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative for a challenging behavior, and which is incompatible with that challenging behavior, is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished.
question
DRO
answer
is a procedure for decreasing challenging behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times.
question
Extinction
answer
A procedure in which a behavior that was previously reinforced is no longer reinforced and the rate of behavior decreases
question
Extinction Burst
answer
An temporary increase in behavior that occurs at the beginning of an extinction procedure
question
Abolishing Operation
answer
is a motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus object, or event; makes you want something less
question
Establishing Operation
answer
is a motivating operation that establishes the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforce; Makes you want something more
question
Task Analysis
answer
Breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units
question
Automatic Reinforcement
answer
Not a socially mediated reinforcement
question
Partial Interval
answer
A interval recording procedure in which an observer notes whether or not a behavior occurred at all during an interval
question
Whole Interval
answer
An interval recording procedure in which an observer notes whether or not a behavior occurs during the entire duration of an interval
question
Momentary Time Sampling
answer
An interval recording procedure in which an observer notes whether or not a behavior occurs at the end of an interval (when the timer goes off)
question
Interresponse Time
answer
Amount of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response class
question
Trials to Criterion
answer
Measure of the number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance
question
Topography
answer
The physical form or shape of a behavior
question
Magnitude
answer
The force or intensity with which a response is emitted
question
Time Sampling
answer
Whole interval recording, partial interval recording, momentary time sampling (occurring at end of sample)
question
Continuous measurement
answer
Recording data on all instances of specified behavior, such as through frequency and duration
question
Discontinuous measurement
answer
Recording data on some instances of behavior, such as through whole-interval, partial-interval and momentary time sampling.
