What does ABC stand for?

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

100
This term refers to behavior that operates on the environment and is changed by the environment.
What is Operent 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 reinforcements of successive approximations to a target behavior.

200

Anything a living organism does.

Behavior

200

This term is abbreviated as DRA

What is Differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors

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

300

What does MRS stand for?

What is multiple stimulus response

300

Reinforcement that happens on a schedule, not based on behavior.

What are non-contingent reinforcement

300

This type of reinforcement reinforces the behavior after every occurrence.

What is continuous reinforcement 

300
This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.
What is extinction
300

In this recording, you mark behavior only if it occurs for the entire interval.

400
This term is referred to as SD

400
_________, __________, __________, and ___________ are the functions of behavior.

400
Negative reinfocement 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
400

These are strategies used before a behavior happens to prevent problem behavior.

Antecedent Interventions/Strategies

400

This measurement tracks the time between an instruction and the behavior.

What is latency

500
_____ is a request and _____ is a label of comment
What is mand and tact
500

This term refers to reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimensions and placing all other responses in the class on extinction.

What is differential reinforcement

500

Physically intervening to prevent completion of the behavior as soon as it is initiated is known as ___________ _______________.
