Measurement
Continuous method of data that measures how long a behavior lasts from onset to offset
What is Duration?
To request
What is mand?
Providing reinforcement for every occurrence of a desired Bx
What is FR1 or Continuous Reinforcement
No longer reinforcing a previously reinforced Bx
What is Extinction?
Adding a preferred stimulus to the environment following a Bx to increase future occurrences of the Bx
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Continuous method of data that shows the number of occurrences of a Bx in a specific period of time.
i.e. 3 tantrums per hour
What is rate
Expressively label
What is Tact?
Reinforcing some, not all occurrences of a target Bx
What is Intermittent Reinforcement?
Providing reinforcement for a functionally equivalent alternative behavior while withholding reinforcement for the undesired behavior
What is DRA?
Reinforcing successive approximations of a target Bx
What is Shaping?
Continuous method of data that measures the amount of time elapsed between the presentation of a stimulus and the start of the target behavior
What is latency?
a verbal behavior following a verbal stimulus.
i.e. "You smell with your _________"
What is Intraverbal?
Reinforcement is delivered after a set amount of responses
What is Fixed Ratio Schedule of Reinforcement?
Providing reinforcement for a behavior that can not occur at the same time as the undesired behavior
What is DRI?
Removing an aversive stimulus from the environment following a Bx to increase future occurrences of the Bx
What is Negative Reinforcement?
Continuous method of data that records the amount of time elapsed between 2 consecutive occurrences of a target behavior
What is Interresponse time?
A breakdown of a complex skill into smaller teachable steps
What is a Task Analysis?
Providing reinforcement after a set amount of time
What is Fixed interval schedule of reinforcement?
Reinforcing the absence of an undesired Bx for a set amount of time
What is DRO?
What is the RBT supervision requirement?
At least 5% of the monthly direct service hours that a BT provides to clients
Measuring the tangible outcome or result of a behavior rather than directly observing the behavior
What is Permanent Product?
Teaching the final step of a skill first. Once final step is mastered, second to last step is taught, and so on....
What is Backwards Chaining?
Providing reinforcement after an average number of responses
What is variable ratio schedule of reinforcement?
A spike in a Bx following the implementation of a Behavior plan
What is extinction burst?
An environmental event or condition that temporarily increases the effectiveness of a reinforcer
