Dimensions of ABA
Name the dimensions of ABA
GETACAB
Generality, Effective, Technological, Applied, Conceptual Systematic, Analytic, Behavioural
How does R+ relate to Bx?
Relates to the function of behaviour
makes behaviour change occur and last over time
Intrinsic motivation is not enough on its own
For behaviour change to last, behaviour needs to contact contingencies of natural reinforcement
Why do we collect data?
Enables clinicians to see what is working and to assess what intervention types work best for the client
May help clinicians identify the factors that may be influencing maladaptive behaviours
SCATTER PLOT
Often used for identifying temporal (time) patterns in the occurrence of behaviour problems
WHAT ARE 4 COMPONENTS OF HABIT REVERSAL
1. Awareness training
2. Competing response training
3. Social Support
4. Motivational Procedures
What are the 3 levels of scientific understanding
Prediction, Control, Description
Name two differences between preference and R+
Preference can function as a reinforcer but it doesn't mean it is reinforcing
Preference is a good starting point but not the end point
Items need to be tested to determine their R+ value
What is ABC data
ANTECEDENT BEHAVIOUR CONSEQUENCE
Logging info on ^
FREQUENCY
Tracks the number of times a behaviour response occurs
when recording rate the number of times is recorded per a specific time frame
What is trial by trial training
When you conduct (10) training phases and get a precent from what was right
What is the highest level of Scientific understanding
Control
What is Deprivation
Not having something for a long time
TIME SAMPLE DATA
Taking data in periodic moments or periods of time rather than consistently
DURATION
The length of time a behaviour has occurred
Pivotal behaviour
Behaviours that as learned produce change in other adaptive untrained behaviours
DIFFERENT BEHAVIOURS
What is the order from highest to lowest of scientific understanding?
Control, Prediction, Description
What is satiation
Something has been used too much so it is no longer reinforcing
LATENCY RECORDING
The length of time from the instruction or SD to the start of the behaviour
RATING SCALE
BAYMAX
Good for group based learning and NET
BEHAVIOURAL CUSPS
A behaviour that affords clients greater access to reinforcers but expainding their repertories and enabling more rapid learning
DIFFERENT SETTINGS
What are the 4 types of reinforcers (R+)
Social, Edible, Attention, Tangible
What is the difference between R+ and Bribery
R+ sets out a contingency in advance (first/then)
Bribery tries to shut down an already existing problem behaviour by promising a preferred item or activity
PERMANENT PRODUCT
Some type of outcome of the behaviour rather than recording when it occurs (ie cutting veggeis)
PROBE DATA
Probe the first trial of a program
Teaching still happens after the probe
Can move learning through programs more quickly if they are fast learners
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT (OMB)
Sub specialty of ABA
Applying principles of ABA to individual s and groups within organizations
Improve performance and productivity
Increase and decrease behaviours of an individual or group
