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.

Generalization

Responding occurs under a variety of conditions or contexts

Response generalization

The form of the response varies

Stimulus generalization

A specific response occurs in the presence of varied stimulus conditions

Overgeneralized

When a response occurs in inappropriate stimulus conditions
