What is behavior
Chris hates cleaning his room and rarely does it. Mom decides to give Chris an ice cream bar after he cleans up. Chris loves ice cream. Mom gives him one after every time he cleans the room for a whole month. During this time, she notices that he is cleaning his room much more often. This is an example of what?
What is positive reinforcement
This strategy involves differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping
This is best classified as a request
What is a mand
R + stands for this term
Positive reinforcement
These are like antecedents, but could happen say, earlier in the day/week such as a dentist appointment or dad being out of town.
What is a setting event
Something aversive is added to the environment after a behavior. This results in the decrease of this behavior over time.
What is positive punishment
This strategy involves reinforcing all other behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)
Teacher: "Twinkle twinkle little" Child: "star" This is an example of
What is an intraverbal
This is the process of teaching a complex skill or series of behaviors using smaller, teachable units; also refers to the result of this process.
What is chaining
Something positive is removed from the environment after a behavior. This results in the decrease of this behavior over time.
What is negative punishment
This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.
What is extinction
This is a temporary increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst
FBA stands for this term.
What is What is a Functional Behavior Assessment
Something aversive is removed from their environment following a behavior. This results in the increase of this behavior over time
What is negative reinforcement.
Moving the stimuli in an array so that the correct answer is clear (Ex. moving the correct answer closer)
What is a positional prompt
What is generic responding to attention function
You ignore both the junk behavior and the child for this function
DTT stands for this term
Discrete trial teaching
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
