Data Collection
This type of continuous measurement tracks the total length of time a behavior occurs from start to finish.
What is Duration?
A systematic method used to identify what items, activities, or sensory experiences a learner currently likes.
What is a preference assessment?
Learner-led instructional opportunities embedded in routine.
What is Natural Environment Training?
Engaging in a behavior because it produces an internal, non-socially mediated sensory feedback is known as this function.
What is Sensory (Automatic)?
Favorite color.
What is orange?
Recording whether a behavior occurs at the exact moment an interval ends is known as this discontinuous sampling method.
What is Momentary Time Sampling (MTS)?
In this type of preference assessment, items are presented two at a time until every item has been paired with every other item.
What is a Paired Choice (or Forced Choice) Preference Assessment?
This is a prompt that acts on the teaching material.
What is a stimulus prompt?
Reinforcing a behavior that cannot physically be performed at the same time as the problem behavior is known as this.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior?
Birthplace.
Where is California?
The length of time between the presentation of an SD (instruction) and the student initiating the response is called this.
What is Latency?
Name the 4 primary functions of behavior.
What is Sensory, Escape, Attention, or Tangible?
The four critical dimensions to consider when delivering reinforcement to maintain strong control over a target behavior.
What are immediacy, contingency, schedule, and magnitude (or intensity/variety)?
Modifying environmental events before a behavior occurs to reduce the motivation or likelihood of that behavior is called this type of intervention.
What is an antecedent strategy?
Maiden name.
Who is Baer-Clark?
Unintentional changes in how an observer measures behavior over time—which threatens data reliability—is called this phenomenon.
What is Observer Drift?
An assessment where a student is allowed free access to various items in an environment while the RBT measures duration of engagement with each item.
What is a Free Operant Preference Assessment?
Reinforcing successive approximations toward a target behavior is known as this process.
What is Shaping?
Request sequences present a series of requests with which the individual has a high likelihood of completing, followed by a low-probability request or a request with which they are less likely to do. Its idea is to build momentum.
What is High-Probabilty Sequence?
Favorite season.
What is winter?
The degree to which an intervention is implemented exactly as it was designed and trained
What is Procedural Integrity?
While an ABA assists with functional assessments, this credentialed professional is responsible for designing and interpreting a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA).
What is a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst)?
Skills previously mastered that are tested periodically to ensure retention.
What are Maintainence Skills?
Every time Leo screams at the dinner table, his father gives him a piece of bread to quiet him down. The father's behavior of giving bread is maintained by this type of reinforcement.
What is negative reinforcement? (The father escapes/removes the unpleasant noise of screaming).
Favorite person.
Who is herself?
