This behavior happens right before being asked to take out the trash that he consistently forgets to do. Subsequently, you say to him it's okay don't worry about taking out the trash I will do it.
What is the consequence of the verbal aggressive behavior?
As the RBT you have identified several tangible items that your client prefers. You provide an SD to the client to engage in a particular behavior and the client works for the bag of chips. The bag of chips serves as a what?
Partial Interval Recording is what type of measurement system?
Discontinuous Measurement
What are the three (3) scientific investigations in ABA?
Description (define the behavior)
Prediction (a hypothesis that if we do not provide the treatment the current behavior will stay the same)
Control (functional relationship between the IV and the DV)
As a teacher, you put a question on the Board and ask your students what's the answer. John answers the question correctly and you ask him to stand up so the class can applaud him. In the future when you present a question on the Board, John refrains from answering the question. Having him stand before the class served as reinforcement or punishment?
