R+ stands for this term

What is positive reinforcement (can also mean correct response)

100
This term refers to the activity of living organisms that is external or internal observable
What is behavior
100

 This occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.

What is positive reinforcement

100
This strategy involves differential reinforcments of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping
100
This is best classified as a request
What is a mand
200

This term is referred to as an FBA

 What is a Functional Behavior Assessment

200
This is when the child is still learning a certain response. The response is being reinforced, and prompted if necessary but is not yet mastered.
What is acquisition trials
200

This occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decrease the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is positive punishment 

200
This strategy involves reinforcing all other behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)
200
Teacher: "Twinkle twinkle little" Child: "star" This is an example of
What is an intraverbal
300
This term is referred to as SD
What is discriminative stimulus
300
This is the process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the result of this process.
What is task analysis
300

This occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is negative reinforcement

300
This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.
What is extinction
300
This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst
400
This is commonly referred to as “ABC”
What is Antecedent Behavior Consequence
400

This ABA principle which states that the more deprived of a particular reinforcer, the more powerful that reinforcer will be.

What is deprivation
400

This occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is negative punishment

400

 This is a type of ABA where learning occurs incidentally and often playfully in natural environments, such as at the bus stop, a local playground, or during dinner.

What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)

400
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement
500
S-R-C refers to this three word term
What is stimulus--response--consequence
500

These are the verbal operants

What is mand, tact, intraverbal, imitation, listener responding(receptive languauge) and echoic

500

This is only reinforcing those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension (i.e., frequency, topography, duration, latency, magnitude) and placing all other responses in the class of extinction

What is differential reinforcement

500
This procedure is used for transferring stimulus control in which features of an antecedent stimulus controlling a behavior are gradually changed to a new stimulus while maintaining the current behavior
What is fading
500
In order for an item to be considered generalized, it must be across
What is different people, different settings and different stimuli
