What is Behavior?
|
action
observable one more dimensions lawful can impact environment variable |
|
|
Defining Characteristics of ABA
|
applied
behavioral analytic technological conceptually systematic effective generality |
|
|
Watson
|
stimulus response relationship
started the behaviorism movement in psychology |
|
|
Pavlov
|
Classical/Respondent Conditioning
|
|
|
Skinner
|
Operant Conditioning
considered the father of ABA started the experimental analysis of behavior |
|
|
Operant Conditioning
|
manipulation of CONSEQUENCES
voluntary behavior occurs because it has been reinforced in the same or similar situations |
|
|
Respondent Conditioning
|
manipulation of ANTECEDENT stimuli
reflexive behavior |
|
|
trace conditioning
|
NS presented then stopped.
CS presented |
|
|
delay conditioning
|
NS presented then shortly after CS presented.
|
|
|
Effective respondent conditioning?
|
trace and delay
|
|
|
backward conditioning
|
CS presented then stopped.
NS presented. |
|
|
Respondent Extinction:
|
repeated presentation of the CS w/o US. Response will stop occuring
|
|
|
Factors affecting Respondent Conditioning:
|
intensity
timing contingency # of pairings previous exposure |
|
|
stimulus=
|
any environmental event that can be detected by the senses
|
|
|
respondent conditioning process
|
US elicits UR
US paired with neutral stimulus (CS) so CS elicits CR (UR) food elicits drooling food paired with bell bell elicits drooling |
|
|
reinforcement=
|
a stimulus when presented or removed contingent on a behavior, increases or maintains the behavior
|
|
|
positive reinforcement
|
'gain function'
-social attention -preferred activities -tangible items -sensory stimuli |
|
|
negative reinforcement
|
'escape' or 'avoidance' function
-removal of undesired activities, tasks, social attn or sensory stimuli |
|
|
3 categories of function behavioral assessment (FBA)
|
1. indirect (interviews, checklists, questionnaires)
2. direct (ABC data collection) 3. experimental method (functional analysis) |
|
|
Steps to take for a client:
|
1) Team meeting before the FBA
2) Obtain parent or individual consent and gather info 3)Conduct ABC observation 4)Compare results, develop treatment 5)Analyze Data using graphs 6) choose and implement treatment that matches identified function |
|
|
When would a functional analysis not be appropriate?
|
low rate behaviors (should be at least 1-2x/10-15min pd)
life threatening behaviors covert behaviors |
|
|
Goal of FA:
|
identify a function
verify a hypothesis from FBA refine a hypothesis from FBA clarify uncertain results |
|
|
Functional Assessment=
|
identifying the antecedent events that evoke a behavior and the reinforcing consequences that maintain it.
|
|
|
Social vs. Automatic Reinforcement:
|
social involves another person
automatic does not. |
|
|
Free Play
|
control condition, ignore problem behavior
|
|
|
Contingent Attention
|
ignore child, when problem behavior occurs - provide attention for 30 seconds, then ignore again.
|
|
|
Contingent Escape
|
Give child a task, if problem behavior occurs - provide break for 30 seconds then give task again.
|
|
|
Contingent Tangible
|
Let child play with toys, try to take toy. when problem behavior occurs - provide toy for 30 seconds, then take away again.
