What is ABA?
A science devoted to understanding and improving human behavior.
What are the 5 core principles of ABA?
Reinforcement, extinction, prompting and fading, shaping, and generalization.
When do we use extinction?
When we want to stop a behavior from occurring?
What is the type of therapy that ensures that the skills taught can be done across multiple different settings?
Generality
What is the purpose of reinforcement?
To increase the frequency of the behavior occurring.
Why do we want to teach generalization?
We want to ensure that the clients are able to preform the same skills taught in various settings and with different people.
What is shaping?
Breaking larger goals into smaller achievable goals.
What does fading mean?
Gradually removing prompts as the client is learning to complete the desired task independently.
What is ABA largely based on?
Different types of behaviors and the consequences that come from them.
What are the different types of prompts?
What are the 7 dimensions of ABA?
Applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptually systematic, effective, generality
How do we ensure that something was effectively implemented?
The target behavior has been reduced and the replacement behavior now occurs more then the target behavior.
True or False seeing a trend in data where a client has mastered 4 out of 5 minutes for tablet games would be an example of behavioral?
true
What is the therapy that is being conducted focusing on in the 7 dimension applied?
behaviors that are socially significant and immediately impact the individuals quality of life.
What would be an example of behavioral for the 7 dimensions of ABA?
Anything that has to do with collecting data would be correct.
