Functions of Behavior
Example: Stimming to achieve pleasure or remove an internal state of displeasure.
What is Automatic/Sensory?
One option is used to increase/encourage future frequency of a behavior over time while the other option is used to decrease/discourage future frequency of a behavior over time.
What is the difference between Reinforcement and Punishment?
The environmental variable that alters (either increasing or decreasing) BOTH the effectiveness of reinforcement or punishment AND the frequency of behavior that has been reinforced or punished.
What is the MO (Motivating Operation)
The six types of Continuous Measurement Recording.
What are: Count, Rate, Frequency, Duration, Inter-response Time (IRT), and Latency?
Functionally replace a problem behavior while meeting the same function of that behavior.
What is DRA (Alternative behavior)
Example: Slapping a table to get people to look.
What is Attention?
ADDING to the environment to INCREASE future frequency of a behavior. (Get something you like!)
What is Positive Reinforcement?
The instruction that the BT gives the patient to which the patient must correctly respond in order to access their reinforcer.
What is a Discriminative Stimulus (SD)?
The three types of Discontinuous Measurement Recording.
What are: Full interval, Partial interval, and Momentary time sampling?
Reinforce behavior that cannot occur at the same time as a problem behavior.
What is DRI (Incompatible behavior)
Example: Eloping after an SD is presented.
What is Escape?
REMOVING from the environment to INCREASE future frequency of a behavior. (Avoid something you don't like!)
What is Negative Reinforcement?
(Hint: call and response, labeling, requests, conversations, and responding to a direction)
What are Echoics, Tacts, Mands, Intraverbal, and Listener Responding?
A measurement of behavior dependent on the effect it left on the environment which proves that it occurred.
What is Permanent Product?
Reinforcing the absence of a problem behavior on a predetermined interval by rewarding any other behavior that is NOT the problem behavior once the interval is complete.
What is DRO (other behavior)
Example: Throwing a tantrum after a toy is taken. Example 2: Asking for help with building a tower.
What is Access/Tangible?
ADDING to the environment to DECREASE future frequency of a behavior. (Get something you don't like!)
The priming strategy for clients consisting of "First-Then" statements.
What is the Pre-MACK principle?
Examples: using rating scales, interviews, checklists, surveys, etc. or measuring a proxy of the actual behavior of interest.
What is Indirect Measurement Recording
Teaching a client to meet or exceed a threshold of behavior that we desire to increase i.e. client must say hello to 3 people in order to get access to reinforcer.
What is DRH (high rates of behavior)
Identifying why the individual engages in a specific behavior.
What is the Function of Behavior?
REMOVING from the environment to DECREASE future frequency of behavior. (Lose something you like!)
What is Negative Punishment?
The supportive/supplemental stimuli intended to evoke a correct response.
Examples: observing and recording behavior as it occurs using timers, clickers, stopwatches, etc.
What is Direct Measurement Recording?
Reducing but not eliminating a behavior by teaching the client to remain under a certain threshold of responses i.e. teaching the client to only say hello once per person instead of 5+ times per person.
what is DRL (low rates of behavior)
