|
Analogue FA
|
Setup conditions to mimic real-life situations
|
|
|
Analogue FA conditions
|
Control, attention, escape from task, alone, tangible
|
|
|
Analytic
|
Characteristic of ABA. Scientifically based experimental designs are used to assess the effectiveness of interventions under study.
|
|
|
Antecedent Manipulation
|
Adding or removing antecedents that evoke behaviors. Include MO, SD, response effort
|
|
|
Antecedent Manipulations (5)
|
1. Antecedent control procedure
2. Establishing Operation 3. Present SDs for appropriate behavior 4. Remove SDs for inappropriate behavior 5. Increase response effort for inappropriate behavior |
|
|
Applied Behavior Analysis vs Experimental Analysis of Behavior
|
Both use systematic manipulations and data analysis of individual organisms.
ABA: Behaviors of social significance to the person are investigated EAB: Behaviors of no social significance of the person are investigated |
|
|
Automatic reinforcement
|
A reinforcer that is produced by the behavior without the participation of other people. For example, echolalia produces sounds that may maintain the behavior. It can be
|
|
|
Behavioral
|
Characteristic of ABA. Behavior is the focus, not a hypothetical entity.
|
|
|
Behavioral Assessment
|
Assessment that examines the person's entire life in order to identify possible causes of the behavior in question. You may use descriptive assessment methods or functional
|
|
|
Behavioral assessment: 2 general kinds
|
1. Functional analysis
2. Descriptive assessment |
|
|
Behavioral assessment: goal
|
Identify the function of behavior
|
|
|
Behavioral Technologies
|
Collection of procedures that have arisen from research and are applied to practical problems by practitioners. Ex: behavioral momentum is now implemented by many service providers in clinics, schools, and homes
|
|
|
Behaviorism
|
Philosophy of behavior that assumes behavior is a function of current and past environments as well as genetics.
|
|
|
Characteristics of ABA
|
1. Effective
2. Technological 3. Conceptually Systematic 4. Generality 5. Analytic 6. Applied 7. Behavioral |
|
|
Determinism
|
Assumption of Science. Behavior is caused by some event.
|
|
|
Discrepancy analysis
|
Compare data with those of norm group to determine changeworthiness of current behavior
|
|
|
Divided attention
|
When attention is diverted to another person, and not just withheld
|
|
|
Effective
|
Characteristic of ABA. Attempt to produce large enough effect that has an impact on the person's life.
|
|
|
Empiricism
|
Assumption of Science. Information is collected by objective observations
|
|
|
Explanatory Fiction/Circular Reasoning
|
Explaining behavior by using entity that lies within the behavior itself. (Eric is aggressive because he has an aggressive trait. Evidence of aggressive trait is his aggressive behavior)
|
|
|
Functional Analysis
|
Manipulation of environmental conditions to determine a functional relation between problem behavior and independent variables. Goal is to confirm hypothesis
|
|
|
Functional analysis best practice: how many controls to use
|
Use one control for each test (pair wise)
|
|
|
Functional analysis best practice: natural vs contrived environments
|
Natural
|
|
|
Functional analysis best practice: role of supplemental information
|
To develop an hypothesis
|
|
|
Functional analysis best practice: what to do with tangible condition
|
If descriptive assessment does not indicate behavior occurs to produce tangibles, then don't include in test conditions.
|
|
|
Functional analysis models
|
AB and ABC
|
|
|
Functional analysis on high intensity behavior
|
1. Look at the latency to the first response in the condition. Then end the condition.
2. Or, just study precursors. |
|
|
Functional analysis review: most common function
|
1. Escape from task
2. Attention |
|
|
Functional analysis review: most common population studied
|
Kids with disabilities
|
|
|
Functional analysis review: most common setting
|
Inpatient settings
|
