7 Dimensions of ABA
Prompt Hierarchy
100

How much a student needs to do to access reinforcement.

What is effort?

100

DRA stands for this.

What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior?

100

Shaping can be applied to topography, frequency, latency, duration, and magnitude, which are all examples of this.

What are dimensions of behavior?

100

An intervention is described as this when a functional relation is demonstrated.

What is analytic?

100

This type of prompt may not be used with all students, as it requires staff to use gentle pressure to guide the student to complete the task.

What is a physical prompt?

200

How much reinforcement is given.

What is magnitude?

200

DRO stands for this.

What is Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior?

200

Differential reinforcement is used to shape behaviors that more closely resemble this.

What is the terminal behavior/goal?

200

An intervention is described as this if it produces behavioral changes that are clinically and socially significant.

What is effective?

200

This type of prompting moves from verbal to gestural to model to physical.

What is least-to-most prompting?

300

How frequently reinforcement is delivered.

What is rate?

300

Differential reinforcement involves providing reinforcement for one of these while withholding reinforcement for another.

What is a response class?

300

Some examples of this include that it is time-consuming and is not always linear.

What are limitations of shaping?

300

This type of approach indicates a commitment to affecting improvements in behaviors that enhance and improve people's lives.

What is applied?
300

Adjusting the placement of materials is an example of this type of prompt.

What is positional?

400

How soon reinforcement is delivered following the desired behavior.

What is immediacy?

400

In a DRI, the behavior being reinforced cannot do this with the problem behavior.

What is occur simultaneously?

400

This is a sequence of behaviors in which each behavior more closely resembles the terminal goal.

What are successive approximations?

400

An intervention is described as this if the procedures used to affect behavior change are based on basic behavioral principles and be descried in terms of these principles.

What is conceptually systematic?

400

When using this type of prompt, consider using a second set of materials to demonstrate the expected response.

What is a model?

500

An item has this if the student indicates it as being preferred. 

What is value?

500

This approach can be used to decrease the speed with which a student eats their lunch. 

What is DRL (differential reinforcement of low-rate behavior)?

500

This is an example of a behavior that can be taught using shaping.

What is mask-wearing?

500

The behavior of interest can be described as having these two attributes.

What are observable and measurable?

500

Moving down the hierarchy decreases the student's independence and is considered to be more this.

What is restrictive?
