Circle Time
This is the person responsible for delivering vocal praise and primary reinforcement.
Who is the facilitator
This term refers to the activity of living organisms that is observable
What is behavior
Positive reinfocement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______ the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.
What is presentation, increases
This strategy involves differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping
This is the type of and form of prompting for social responses
What is a from behind and at a volume that can't be heard by the peer
These are the primary jobs of the RBT/prompter
What are taking data and physically prompting?
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
Positive punishment occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions
What is presentation, decreases
This strategy involves reinforcing alternative behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DRA)
Behavior is controlled by these
What are consequences
There are the five activities included in every circle time
What are hello song, book, song, game, good bye song?
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
Negative reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions
What is removal, increases
This strategy involves rapid pace instruction across operants
What is mixed-VB
This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst
The peers must be within this many years
What is 3 years?
The sequence of new response classes that emerge during the shaping process as the result of differential reinforcement; each response class is closer in form to the terminal behavior than the response class it replaces.
What is successive approximations
This occurs when a previously reinforced behavior occurs and no longer contacts reinforcement and as a result the behavior decreases to pre-reinforced levels or ceases to occur.
What is extinction
This strategy involves utilizing most-to-least prompt to elicit the target response. There is minimal opportunity for the target individual to make a mistake
What is errorless teaching
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement
There are the 5 skills addressed in circle time.
What are transitions, waiting, tacting, manding, responding to peers, ready-to-learn posture, following rules of playground games, listener responding, tolerating losing, scanning, intraverbals, conditional instructions, choral responding?
These are the verbal operants
What is mand, tact, intraverbal and echoic
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
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
In order for an item to be considered generalized, it must be across
What is different people, different settings and different stimuli
