Level 1
Assessment involving free access to a variety of stimuli.
What is free operant?
When reinforcement is delivered ONLY some of the time the target behavior is displayed
What is intermittent reinforcement?
A form of verbal behavior where the speaker responds to another's verbal behavior (e.g. like in a conversation)
What is intraverbal?
What are the steps to long error correction?
What is error, correct, transfer, expand, return (ECTER)?
Jamie gets a candy bar after every 10 questions answered
What is the schedule of reinforcement?
Scored if the behavior occurs at ANY time in the interval
What is partial interval?
Reinforcement after the behavior is displayed an average number of times
What is variable ratio?
lower # of occurrences/higher # of occurrences x 100
What is total IOA?
Providing a prompt immediately after the SD so that the client cannot engage in an incorrect response
What is errorless teaching?
Tantruming was extinguished for months and then one day Jimmy decides to throw a tantrum to get candy. This is an example of
What is spontaneous recovery?
A reinforcement procedure in which reinforcement is delivered for any response other than a specific target behavior
What is DRO?
Used to identify the environmental context in which aberrant behavior is likely and unlikely to occur.
What is functional analysis?
# of occurrences/amount of time
What is rate?
A procedure in which a reinforcer is given following a specified period of time whereby the identified targeted behavior occurred at or above a prespecified level
(Hint: differential reinforcement)
What is DRH?
A: Carrots on Timmy's plate
B: Scream
C: Carrots are taken away
Options: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, or negative punishment?
What is negative reinforcement?
Providing assistance or cues to encourage the use of a specific skill
What is prompting?
Increases the current effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as reinforcement
What is establishing operations (EO)?
A sequence of behaviors that are likely to occur (previously mastered) that lead up to a lower probability behavior
What is high probability request sequence?
A predictable, temporary increase in the rate and intensity of a behavior when an extinction procedure is first used.
What is extinction burst?
If a child is bitten by the neighbor’s dog and becomes afraid of all dogs, what is this an example of?
Options: generalization, discrimination, extinction, negative punishment
What is generalization?
Techniques in which prompts are discontinued once the target behavior is being displayed in the presence of the discriminative stimulus (SD)
What is stimulus control transfer?
An evaluation process that makes use of academic content selected directly from the material taught (Ex: VB-MAPP)
What is curriculum-based assessment?
You’re recording data on your learner’s SIB. You identify that he engaged in SIB 12 times in a 3-hour session. Calculate the rate
What is 4?
Calculate trial-by-trial IOA data
What is 50%?
Mira wants to know how much time passes between occurrences of her client asking for a break. What type of data would she collect?
Response latency, Rate, Interresponse time, Duration
What is interresponse time?
