Measurement and Assessment
Collecting or tallying each time that the behavior occurs.
What is positive reinforcement?
Adding a stimuli to increase the behavior in the future.
SD -> Response > ___________
Consequence
What are the four functions of behavior?
Escape, Access to Tangibles, Attention, Sensory
When is the cutoff for schedules locking?
4:30 pm
Name the three types of discontinuous measurement
Partial interval, whole interval, momentary time sample
What is negative reinforcement?
Removing a stimuli to increase the likelihood of the behavior in the future.
What is errorless prompting?
Starting with the most intrusive prompt and decreasing prompts across trials
What is it called when you present 3-5 known directions before presenting an acquisition or lower-probability direction.
Behavior Momentum
How much notice is needed before requesting time off?
As much notice as possible, but no less than two weeks.
What is latency data recording?
The amount of time from the SD to the response beginning
What is positive punishment?
Adding a stimuli to decrease the likelihood of the behavior in the future.
What is it called when you increase prompts when the client is not responding correctly?
Error Correction or least to most prompting
Is extinction an antecedent or consequence strategy?
Consequence strategy
If you are changing your availability, what is the minimum length that the availability needs to be in effect for?
6 months.
What is the name of the preference assessment in which you present at least 3 stimuli for the client to select from, and when they make a selection, it is not placed back into the array.
A multiple stimulus without replacement preference assessment
What is negative punishment?
Removing a stimuli to decrease the likelihood of a behavior in the future.
What should be presented during session between acquisition targets?
Maintenance targets, usually at a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1
When decreasing behaviors, the client should be redirected to what?
A replacement behavior
If a session is not run to the full length, what do staff need to do?
Post it in the ABA Cancel/No Show thread and ensure the time in their note is accurate.
What type of data do we record on a single stimulus preference assessment?
What the client's reaction is to the stimuli presented.
What is the following scenario an example of?
BT asks the client to complete a 1-step direction to stomp their feet. The client completes the direction without a prompt and the BT says "Great job" loudly and claps their hands. The client covers their ears and turns away from the staff. The next time the BT presents the 1-step direction to stomp their feet the client covers their ears and turns away without completing the direction.
Positive Punishment
What are the three main phases of a target?
Baseline, Intervention, Maintenance
Before presenting SDs, what should you establish with the client?
What is the trial minimum for sessions?
A minimum of 1 trial for every two minutes (i.e., 120 minute session = 60 trial minimum.
