Measurement
A tally of the number of instances that a behavior occurred.
What is frequency
When you help a student complete a certain action by providing the most intrusive prompt.
What is full physical prompting
When you break down a larger activity into smaller step by step pieces.
What is Task Analysis
ABA
Applied Behavior Analysis
Engaging in a behavior because it feels good; did not have to be taught the value of the reinforcer.
What is a automatic/sensory function
The amount of time that a behavior was observed and displayed/tracked.
What is duration
When a student is able to complete a certain task without needing prompting
Independent
Teaching technique that breaks complex tasks into small, teachable steps, instructing them in chronological order from beginning to end
What is forward chaining
WTF
What's the function
Engaging in a behavior to obtain an item or activity.
What is a access/tangible function
The amount of time between when the SD was presented and when the behavior was displayed.
What is latency
When you help a student complete a certain action by providing the some level of physical prompting.
What is partial prompting
Teaching technique that breaks complex tasks into small, teachable steps, instructing them in reverse chronological order from end to beginning
What is Reverse Chaining
DTT/DTL/DTI
Discrete trial teaching, discrete trial learning, discrete trial instruction
Engaging in a behavior to circumvent (get out of, get away from) an aversive stimulus.
What is an avoidance/escape function
Interval tracking where an instance of behavior was recorded only if it occurred for the entire interval observed.
What is whole-interval recording
When a staff member demonstrates the desired response by completing the action themself and expecting the student to complete the same response
What is modeling
Technique used to teach complex skills by having the learner attempt every step of a task sequence in order during each session.
What is total task chaining
TA
Task Analysis
Engaging in behavior to gain awareness from others
What is an attention function
The amount of time between (sequential) instances of behavior?
What is inter-response time (IRT)
When a staff member points to the targeted/correct response
What is a Gestural Prompt
Put these in order from least to most intrusive prompting hierarchy: gestural, full prompting, independent, model, partial prompting
Independent, gestural, model, partial prompting, full prompting.
ABC
What is Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Engaging in a behavior for multiple of the behavioral functions.
What is a multi-maintained function
