Reinforcement Schedules
What does VR stand for and describe it
variable ratio | a schedule of reinforcement requiring a varying number of responses for reinforcement
What does ABA stand for?
Applied Behavior Analysis
What is baseline data? Why do we need it?
condition before the independent variable (reactive strategy/intervention) is present
It serves as a reference point for the efficacy of an intervention
What is frequency?
how often a behavior occurs
Demonstrate how to teach an IV association.
lay out picture prompts, present sD, client uses picture prompts to respond, remove picture prompts, transfer WITHOUT picture prompts present, distractors, test WITHOUT picture prompts
What does FI stand for and describe it
fixed interval | a schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for the first response emitted following the passage of a fixed duration of time
What is an antecedent?
an environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest
What is an antecedent intervention? Give an example
a behavior change strategy that manipulates the environment, routines, or events that happen before a less desirable behavior occurs
providing our spunky girl social praise and attention while appropriately transitioning down the hallway
What is duration?
the total time a behavior occurs
You lay out an array of cards and present the sD “Tell me which one has wheels”. How should the client respond and what operant is this?
Client should say/sign/device "car".
TFFC- Tact by Feature
What does FR stand for and describe it
fixed ratio | a schedule of reinforcement requiring a fixed number of responses for reinforcement
What is a consequence?
a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
What is shaping?
using differential reinforcement to produce a series of gradually changing response classes; each response class is a successive approximation toward a terminal behavior
a procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem behavior to prevent completion of the targeted behavior
blocking a client before they flee down the hallway
Demonstrate how to teach the brand-new MI target “clap”. *must demonstrate appropriate reinforcement*
go in with a full physical prompt, R+ when able to fade prompts
What does VI stand for and describe it
variable interval | a schedule of reinforcement that pr4ovides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of variable durations of time occurring in a random or unpredictable manner
What is a conditioned reinforcer? Give an example of a conditioned reinforcer.
A stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one or more other reinforcers.
A token in a token economy during ITT
What is extinction?
the discontinuing of reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior
What is an extinction burst?
an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
You lay out an array of cards and present the sD "which one can you eat?" How should the client respond and what operant is this?
client should select the picture of a food
LRFFC- listener responding by function
Define schedule of reinforcement
a rule specifying the environmental arrangements and response requirements for reinforcement
What is a discriminative stimulus?
tehe it’s the sD!
What is spontaneous recovery?
a behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the behavior suddenly begins to occur after its frequency has decreased to its prereinforcement level or stopped entirely
What is interresponse time (IRT)?
it measures the time interval from the completion of one response to the initiation of the next response
What are the six verbal operants?
1. mand
2. tact
3. listener repsonding (LR)
4. motor imitation (MI)
5. echoic
6. intraverbal (IV)
