Negative reinforcement |
Removing a stimulus immediately after a response that results in an INCREASE in some aspect of the behavior. |
|
|
Topography |
The shape or form of the response |
|
|
Operant class |
Set of responses that share the same function |
|
|
Reinforcer |
Consequence that immediately follows a response AND results in an increase of some aspect of the behavior |
|
|
Antecedent |
Environmental event that occurs immediately before a response |
|
|
Consequence |
Environmental event that occurs immediately after a response |
|
|
Contingency |
Casual relation between 2 events |
If X occurs, then Y occurs |
|
Reinforcement |
Stimulus is presented OR removed after a response, resulting in an INCREASE of behavior |
|
|
Behavior |
Any activity of a living organism |
|
|
3- term contingency |
Functional relation among the antecedent conditions, the behavior, and the consequences |
|
|
Response |
An instance of behavior |
|
|
Self- report observations |
Observer relies on an individuals memory of the behavior |
|
|
Positive reinforcement |
Presenting a reinforcer immediately after a response that results in an INCREASE in some aspect of the behavior |
|
|
Behavior analysis |
Natural science of behavior |
|
|
Partial and whole interval recording |
Dividing the observation period into a series of equal intervals |
|
|
Behavior assessment |
Approach to validly observing, measuring, and recording behavior |
|
|
Latency |
The time between the antecedent and the behavior |
|
|
Continuous measuring |
All instances of behavior are recorded |
|
|
Partial interval recording |
Am occurrence is scored if the target behavior occurs at least once in any part of the interval |
|
|
Intensity recording |
Measures of strength, amplitude, force or effort of a response |
Volume of scream, etc |
|
Whole interval recording |
Duration of the target behavior lasts the entire interval |
Only mark if behavior occurred non stop during entire time |
|
Duration recording |
The entire amount of time that a target response occurs |
How long did behavior last? |
|
Operational definition |
Specifies exactly what behavior to observe |
|
|
Baseline data |
Data collected when the treatment was not in place |
Starting data |
|
Frequency recording |
Every instance of a response is recorded |
How many times did behavior occur? |
|
Momentary time sampling |
Observer records whether behavior is occurring at specific moment in time |
5 minute mark - is behavior occurring? |
|
Textual prompts |
Written directions |
|
|
Model prompt |
RBT demonstrates preferred behavior for client |
RBT says "pat your head" and RBT pats her head as an example, then client pats her head |
|
Discrete trial training |
Skills are broken into smaller components and taught using ABA |
|
|
Free operant behavior |
Does not depend on any instruction or prompts |
Occurs naturally |
|
Chaining procedure |
Target steps are done by the client, non- target steps are done by RBT |
Wash hands: client turns on water, RBT prompts or does everything else |
|
Total task presentation |
Client moves through all steps |
|
|
Permanent product recording |
Results of a behavior are assessed |
Number of correct answers on test |
|
Continuous schedule of reinforcement |
Same result every time |
Put card in ATM, get money |
|
Intermittent schedule of reinforcement |
Sometimes gives desired response, sometimes doesn't |
Put money in slot machine, sometimes win but not every time |
|
Continuous schedule of reinforcement |
Every response is reinforced |
|
|
Primary reinforcer |
Any stimulus or event that has biological importance and increases probability of behavior |
Food, drink |
|
Secondary reinforcer |
Any stimulus or event that was initially neutral but has acquired reinforcing capabilities by pairing with a primary reinforcer |
|
|
Extinction |
No response is reinforced |
|
|
Ratio schedule |
A certain number of responses must occur before delivery of reinforcer |
|
|
Multiple stimulus preference assessment |
RBT offers client several items, client picks one and RBT puts item back with other items |
|
|
Free-operant preference assessment |
RBT puts several items in front of client and records how long client engage with each item |
|
|
Paired- choice preference assessment |
Each stimulus is presented in an array of two with every other stimulus |
|
|
Single- stimulus preference assessment |
Each stimulus is presented individually |
|
|
MSWO preference assessment |
All stimuli are presented at the same time but as client chooses one, it is not returned back with the others |
|
|
Direct preference assessment |
Observing and measuring client's responses to stimuli |
|
|
Indirect preference assessment |
Interviews, surveys and checklists |
|
|
Mastery criterion |
Measurable benchmark used to determine whether client has learned a skill |
|
|
Behavioral repertoire |
Behaviors an individual is capable of performing |
|
|
Expressive language target |
Output of language |
Teaching child to ask for something |
|
Receptive language target |
Input of language |
Teaching child to follow instructions |
|
Proximal prompt |
Placing item closest to client |
Which one is red, and place red one closest to client |
|
Graduated guidance |
Providing least amount of assistance for each step of a sequence of behaviors |
|
|
Gestural promoting |
Motioning to correct response with fingers or hands |
Which one is red, and point to red one |
|
Chaining |
Used to train individual links and the sequence they should occur |
|
|
Prompt |
Supplemental stimulus that increases likelihood of target response occurring |
Physical, verbal, model, gestural, etc |
|
Discriminative stimulus |
Stimulus in the presence of which a particular response WILL be reinforced |
"Point to B". The card with B on it is the discriminative stimulus (SD). The other cards are stimulus delta (S🔺️). |
|
Stimulus delta |
Stimulus in which a particular response WILL NOT be reinforced |
"Put red with red". Blue card is stimulus delta (D🔺️). Red card is discriminative stimulus. |
