Verbal Bx
When a client requests a desired item, this is called a _______.
Mand
DRI (Differential Reinforcement of an Incompatible Bx)
This is a structured method of teaching when a multiple trials of an SD are presented and a correct response is immediately reinforced or an incorrect response is immediately prompted and taught.
Discrete Trial Teaching
This is when every correct response delivered is reinforced immediately.
Continuous Reinforcement
This is a type of data collected before and after a behavior occurs and helps us determine the function of a behavior.
ABC Data
Tact
Client mands for a break during a tantrum and therapist immediately reinforces by allowing the client a break from the task presented.
DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Bx)
This is a type of teaching that occurs in unstructured environments using contrived opportunities or teaching based on events that happen naturally.
Naturalistic Teaching
Reinforcement is based on a specific number of correct responses.
Fixed Ratio
A client enters the room and the therapist observes what items the client gravitates towards, notating the interaction type and duration of interaction with identified items.
Preference Assessment
Client A says "look it's a dog." Client B then says "look it's a dog."
Echoic
Client engages in throwing bx frequently. Therapist reinforces manding for a break, sitting nicely, doing work or any behavior other than throwing.
DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Bx)
This is the process of fading prompts from being what occasions a correct response.
Stimulus Control Transfer
Reinforcement based on the presence of a desired response being delivered for a specific amount of time.
Fixed Interval
Attention, Escape, Automatic/Sensory and Tangible
Someone asks Jerry "what is your name?" and he responds with "Jerry."
Intraverbal
Client normally engages in spitting behavior 57 times per session. Client is reinforced if he engages in spitting less than 57 times per session.
DRL (Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates of Bx)
Reinforcing a client in the presence of an SD but not in the presence of an S Delta.
Discrimination Training
Reinforcement is based on an average number of correct responses.
Variable Ratio
Client engages in kicking behavior at a higher rate than he typically does due to the reinforcement for the behavior being discontinued.
Extinction Burst
This is a type of training used to teach a mand or appropriate communication response in place of a maladaptive behavior.
Functional Communication Training
Client only greets peers on average 3 times per session. If client greets peers more than 3 times per session he will gain access to reinforcement.
DRH (Differential Reinforcement of Higher Rates of Bx)
This is an AKA for naturalistic teaching.
"In Vivo" Teaching
Reinforcement based on the presence of a desired response for an average of 7 minutes.
Variable Interval
At circle time John is not sitting nicely. Ariel and Sammy are sitting nicely, so the leader reinforces Ariel and Sammy for sitting nicely.
Pivotal Praise
