Measurement
What is continuous measurement?
When every instance of the behavior is recorded.
What type of reinforcement involves adding stimuli to the environment to increase the future frequency of the behavior?
Positive Reinforcement
RBT
Registered Behavior Technician
environmental conditions or stimulus changes that occur prior to the target behavior.
Tx uses full physical prompting for every step in handwash except for throwing away the paper towel. The patient independently throws away the paper towel. What type of procedure is being implemented?
Backward chaining
What is discontinuous measurement?
What type of reinforcement involves removing a stimuli in order to increase the future frequency of a behavior?
Negative Reinforcement
ABC
Antecedent
Behavior
Consequence
Discrimination Training
Teaching the difference between two stimuli
Antecedent Intervention
The RBT measures the time between the SD "touch cat" and the patient touching the picture of a cat. What type of measurement are they using?
Latency
Johnny elopes from the table when completing a challenging task. You begin teaching functional communication training to allow Johnny to ask for a break. What type of reinforcement procedure was used?
DRA!
FCT
Functional Communication Training
Shaping
Reinforcing approximations of a behavior to teach a novel behavior.
After implementing extinction, your client has stopped engaging in property destruction. 3 months go by without engaging in property destruction, and your client begins throwing chairs again. What happened?
The patient has stopped tantruming, and the technician starts a timer. The technician stops the timer when the patient begins to tantrum again. What type of measurement procedure is used?
IRT
Sally frequently engages in attention-seeking maladaptive behaviors. The technician sets a 5 minute timer to provide attention to Sally regardless of her behavior. What type of reinforcement is being implemented?
Non-contingent Reinforcement
ABA
Applied Behavior Analysis
Extinction Burst
a predictable, temporary increase in the intesisty of a behavior during extinction
List 6 verbal operants
List and describe the 3 types of Discontinuous measurement.
Partial Interval: behavior occurs at any point during the interval
Whole Interval: behavior occurs the entire interval
Momentary time sampling: behavior occurs at the end of the session
What are the 5 types of differential reinforcement?
DRA
DRI
DRO
DRL
DRH
PECS
Picture Exchange Communication System
Stimulus Control Transfer
Transferring the control of one response from one stimulus to another.
You display 4 of your patients highest reinforces out in front of them. They pick one item and allow them to play with it for a few minutes. You then display the items again, but without the reinforcer that your client chose. You continue this process until all of the reinforcers are chosen. What time of assessment did you implement?
Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement
