The Basics
This can be either positive or negative, and is defined by its effect on behavior
What is reinforcement?
What is punishment?
This is one method for choosing effective reinforcers
What is ask?
What is observe?
What is assess?
What is survey?
An antecedent stimulus _____________ a behavior
What is precedes?
What is comes before?
It is important that the target behavior is ________ and __________
What is observable and measurable?
This type of DRA involves reinforcing a behavior that can't be completed at the same time as the problem behavior
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior?
Stimuli or events which immediately follow a response
What are consequences?
Food is an example of this type of reinforcer
What is primary?
This method involves reinforcing successive approximations toward a target behavior
What is shaping?
This term describes the standard for minimally acceptable performance
What is criterion
In this process, we gather information in order to form a hypothesis about the antecedents and consequences that are reliably associated with the behavior
What is functional assessment?
The contingent removal of an aversive stimulus immediately following a response that serves to increase the likelihood that the response will occur again in the future is called __________________________
What is negative reinforcement?
This reinforcement schedule reinforces each occurrence of behavior
What is continuous reinforcement?
This term describes a behavior in which an antecedent serves as a cue for the behavior to occur
What is stimulus control
This type of recording documents the time that elapses between the presentation of a stimulus or cue and the initiation of a response is called
What is latency recording?
In this process, a behavior is followed by a consequence that results in the decrease in the future probability of he behavior
What is punishment?
This schedule of reinforcement would mean reinforcing Anna, on the average, every 5 minutes she remains in her seat
What is variable interval?
This is an example of a response prompt
What is verbal?
What is gestural?
What is modeling?
What is physical?
This type of recording measures the time between onset and offset
What is duration?
This term describes the occurrence of a target behavior in a nontraining situation after training
What is generalization?
This term means withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior to reduce the occurrence of the behavior
What is extinction?
This type of reinforcement is at work when Brendan tears up his worksheet in order to escape math and he is sent to time out
What is negative reinforcement?
This term describes the identification of the SD and response for each component of a behavioral chain
What is task analysis?
In this type of recording, the behavior is recorded only if it occurs at the exact instant the interval ends
What is momentary time sampling?
This type of reinforcer is initially neutral, but acquires reinforcing qualities through pairing with a primary reinforcer
What is a conditioned reinforcer?
