This type of conditioning looks at consequences
Operant (operating on consequences)
Discontinuous measures, measure what?
Continuous measures, measure what?
Discontinuous measures=continuous behaviors
Continuous measures=discontinuous behaviors
This variable is always the target behavior
Dependent variable
This differential reinforcement procedure reinforces the non emission or zero emission of a behavior.
DRO
Johnny is shaping Beth's tennis serve. The first step is the toss, next is bringing the racket back over the shoulder, etc. Shaping a serve is:
Shaping across topographical response class
What is the difference bettwen a formal and functional stimulus class?
Formal=A common feature, Function=MANY common features
3 types of discontinuous measures
Whole, partial, momentary time sampling
Changing criterion design is for what type of behavior?
Already in the repertoire or behaviors that won't need to be reversed
Whenever Marcus hits his peers during recess, the teacher removes 5 minutes of computer time from his daily schedule. The hitting behavior decreases. What procedure is being used? A. Response cost (negative punishment) B. Time-out from reinforcement (positive punishment) C. Extinction D. Positive reinforcement
A. Response cost
You are working with a client who is non-verbal. However his parents would like him to be able to recite all 50 states. what dimension of ABA is being violated?
Applied
Imitation is copying the skill exactly as taught, and observational learning you copy the skill while adjusting the skill such as (watching YouTube and copying a line dance but adding your own spins)
You are measuring intervals that mastered for a learner, you notice the RBT put 100 minutes while you would like to know # of intervals to mastery, what trustworthy measurement does this violate?
Reliability
What does a multi element design intel? What is the AKA?
AKA-alternating treatments design
Multielement rapidly alternates the treatments
Steps of DTT
1. Present SD
2. Prompting
3. Response
4. consequence
5. Inter-trial interval
A BCBA has been fraudulently claiming billable hours, you have spoken to her about this when you noticed, what is the next step?
Speak to the supervisor and document
Your stomach is growling, you see a McDonalds sign, what would the McDonalds sign be considered?
SD
A BCBA conducts observations with a RBT. The RBT marked 0 times the client engaged in the behavior, while you make 3 out of the 5 intervals. What is this called?
Observer drift
Parametric versus nonparametric
Dosage versus on/off
4 types of prompt fading
You are supervising a trainee through their fieldwork hours. You assign a task, which they turn in a week late. The next task you assign, they complete very poorly, missing several of the required components. How should you proceed?
Provide feedback/train on areas of needed improvement, document progress, and continue performance monitoring
What type of genrealization is this?
You can take a tylonel, an asprin, and antidepressant for a headache
Stimulus
A BCBA wants to know how many trials a learner took to meet mastery (4 consecutive trials).
Trial 1-not met, Trial 2-met, Trial 3-met, Trial 4-not met, Trial 5-met, Trial 6-met, Trial 7-met, Trial 8-met
Met at Trial 8
Confounding versus extraneous
Confounding-outside experimenter control
Extraneous-within experiment control
A=A, A=B, B=A, B=C, therefore C=A. This is called what? And when all derived relations have been accounted for this is called?
Transitivity and Equivalency Based Instruction
A husband never takes the trash out. His wife starts to leave the lid off of the trashcan when he does this. The husband continues to not take the trash out, the wife starts to get upset and begins to stay are her mothers house due to being upset. The husband is worried about their marriage, what contingency is the wife's behavior.
Negative reinforcement
