A-B-A Design
|
An experiment entailing one reversal
|
|
A-B-A-B Design
|
An experiment reintroducing the B condition enables the replication of treatment effects, which strengthens the demonstration of experimental control
|
|
Abative Effect
|
A decrease in the current frequency of behaviour that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
|
|
ABC recording
|
The preferred method to use for behavioural assessment to determine which behaviour to target for change is
|
|
Abolishing operation
|
A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event.
|
|
Accuracy
|
The extent to which observed values, the data produced by measuring an event, match the true state, or true values, of the event as it exists in nature
|
|
Adjunctive Behavior
|
Behaviour that occurs as a collateral effect of a schedule of periodic reinforcement for other behaviour: time-filling or interim activities that are induced by schedules of reinforcement during times when reinforcement is unlikely to be derived-aka schedule-induced behaviour
|
|
Affirmation of the Consequent
|
The predictive power of steady state responding enables the behaviour analyst to employ a kind of inductive logic
|
|
Alternating Treatments Design
|
The rapid alternation of two or more distinct treatments while their effects on the target behaviour are measured
|
|
Alternative schedule
|
Provides positive reinforcement whenever the requirement of either a ratio schedule or interval schedule is met, regardless of which of the component schedule's requirement is met first.
