Front 1

abolishing operation (AO)

Back 1

a motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. (Ex: the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion.)

Front 2

accuracy

Back 2

extent to which observed values, the data produced by measuring an event, match the true state, or true value, of the event as it exists in nature

Front 3

Alternating treatment design

Back 3

also called concurrent schedule design, multielement design, multiple schedule design.

Front 4

alternative schedule

Back 4

provides reinforcement whenever the requirement of either a ratio schedule or an interval schedule is met, regardless of which of the component schedule's requirements is met first.

Front 5

antecedent stimulus class

Back 5

a set of stimuli that share a common relationship. All stimulus in the antecedent stimulus class evoke the same operate behavior, or elicit the same respondent behavior.

Front 6

arbitrary stimulus class

Back 6

Antecedent stimulus that evoke the same response but do not resemble each other in physical form or share a relational aspect as bigger or under (e.g. peanuts, cheese, & chicken are all members of an arbitrary stimulus class "source of protein"

Front 7

artifact

Back 7

outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is measured but in fact does not correspond to what actually occurred.

Front 8

backup reinforcers

Back 8

tangible objects, activities, or privileges that serve as reinforcers and that can be purchased with tokens.

Front 9

baseline logic

Back 9

refers to the experimental reasoning inherent in single-subject experimental designs; entails three element: prediction, verification, and replication.

Front 10

celeration

Back 10

the change (acceleration or deceleration) in rate of respond over time; based on count per unit of time; expressed as factor by which responding is accelerating or deceleration

Front 11

conditioned motivating operation (CMO)

Back 11

a motivating operation whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history (keys open door, CMO makes keys more effective reinforcers to obtain keys to open a door.

Front 12

Temporal control

Back 12

Means that the student's vocalization follows your vocalization (i.e., he listens before responding)

Front 13

First two phases of vocal imitation

Back 13

Phase 1 = increasing vocalizations
Phase 2 = temporal control

Front 14

vocalization

Back 14

any sound, including laughing, coughing, babbling, or words

Front 15

Phase 3 Imitation Sounds

Back 15

that can be prompted, that the student tends to make, and which are heard in the environment, particularly by typically developing children.

Front 16

Homogeneous chains

Back 16

repetitions of the same sounds (e.g., da and da)

Front 17

Heterogeneous chains

Back 17

ave different sounding combinations (e.g., mo and me)

Front 18

self control to work, the individual must:

Back 18

be able to identify the target behaviors
understand reinforcement and/or punishment
understand bootleg reinforcement
be able to identify effective reinforcers
be able to set appropriate criteria for the consequence(s)
be able to consequate the behavior.

Front 19

SEQUENTIAL MODIFICATION

Back 19

Implementation of a procedure sequentially across settings.

Front 20

MULTIPLE EXEMPLARS

Back 20

Apply the procedure using one example, probe, apply to another example, probe, etc., until generalization is evident.

Front 21

GENERAL CASE ANALYSIS

Back 21

Conduct an analysis of the range of stimuli to be learned and teach to those stimulus conditions.

Front 22

PROGRAM COMMON STIMULI

Back 22

Bringing stimuli from the natural setting into the training setting fosters generalization to the natural setting.
