100
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 internally observable
What is behavior
100
Positive 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 presentation, increases
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 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
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
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
In ABA, behaviors identified for change must be ____ _____ to the persons and contribute to the quality of their daily life.
socially significant
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
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
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
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
400
Negative 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 removal, decreases
400
This strategy involves repeatedly using the same SD several times in a row and is used to introduce new items and/or work on trouble items
What is mass trials
400
What are the 5 possible functions of behavior?
Medical, escape, attention, tangible, sensory (automatic reinforcement)
500
S-R-C refers to this three word term
What is stimulus--response--consequence? Provide an example.
500
What are 4 the verbal operants?
Mand, tact, intraverbal and echoic are what type of operants?
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? Provide an example.
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
fading
500
A behavior is said to have _______ if the trained behavior occurs at other times or in other places without having to be retrained completely in those particular times or places, or if functionally related behaviors occur that were not trained directly.
