Prediction
Verification
Replication
Task analysis vs. behavior change
Task analysis is an analysis of the target behavior that breaks it down into small, teachable units. It helps devise the behavior chain.
Behavior chain: series of steps and tasks presented in specific order that leads to SR
3 Principles of Behavior
PER
1. P - Punishment
2. E - Extinction
3. R - Reinforcement
Temporal Dimensions of Behavior
Duration
Latency
Interresponse time
You need to consider the _____ of _____ before implementing treatment
Function of Behavior
Reversal design is also known as "AKA"
Withdrawal Design
ABAB
BAB
Skinner's 6 Elementary Verbal Operants
EMITTT
Echoic, Mand, Intraverbal, Tact, Textual, Transcription
Operant Conditioning is also known as:
ABC
3-term contingency
behavioral contingency
Time Sampling Procedures
WPM - Wits Pits Mits
Whole interval recording
Partial IntervaL recording
Momentary Time Sampling
Is confidentiality a legal issue, an ethical issue, or both?
Both
3 Weaker variations of multiple baseline design
Multiple Probe Design
Delayed multiple baseline design
Nonconcurrent multiple baseline design
DRL
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding (i.e. - decrease nail biting)
A procedure & schedule of sr+ that provides sr+ for emitting behaviors that are:
1. At or below a pre-established rate
2. Separated by a specific amount of time between behaviors
Respondent conditioning is also known as:
Classical and Pavlovian Conditioning
Stimulus-Stimulus Pairing
Conditioned Stimulus-conditioned response (CS-CR)
4 repeatability measure IOAs
1. Total Count IOA
2. Mean Count-per-interval IOA
3. Exact count-per-interval IOA
4. Trial-by-trial IOA
When choosing reinforcers for a client, what should be avoided?
Harmful Reinforcers
3 subtypes of multiple baseline design
Multiple baseline across behaviors
Multiple baseline across settings
Multiple baseline across subjects
2 types of DRO
Interval - following an interval of time that the behavior didn't occur - resetting the time if it did
Momentary - fixed moment and sr+ is provided even if the behavior occurred during that interval
2 Types of Negative Reinforcement
1. Escape
2. Avoidance
2 Temporal Measure IOAs
1. Total duration
2. Mean duration
Prior to conducting an assessment, you must: a. ______ b.______ c. _____ d. _______
a. Describe the procedures
b. describe who will participate
c. describe how the results will be used
d. get client/guardian written consent
4 types of single subject experimental designs
MC RM
Multiple Baseline
Changing Criterion
Reversal
Multielement
The 4 parts of stimulus equivalence (G-12)
RSTS (Reach Students This Spectacularly)
1. Reflexivity A=A
2. Symmetry if A=B then B=A
3. Transitivity If A=B, and B=C, then C=A
4. Stimulus Equivalence if A=C, then C=A
5 types of positive reinforcement

Sensory
3 Time Sampling Procedure IOAs
1. Interval by interval IOA
2. Scored-interval IOA
3. Un-scored interval IOA
