Measure up!
When a questionnaire is used on how well a student gets along with classmates
What is an indirect measure?
This is a type of research design most often used in applied fields of psychology, education, and human behavior in which the subject serves as his/her own control, rather than using another individual/group
What is single-subject design?
What section of the ethics code discusses that behavior analysts provide a clear written description of the purpose, requirements, evaluation criteria,conditions, and terms of supervision prior to the onset of the supervision.
What is E-5 Behavior analysts as supervisors? (5.05 Communication of Supervision Conditions)
With this assessment, clinicians assess circumstances in which the behavior occurs by observing the individual in their natural setting and recording events that precede and follow behavior.
What is a descriptive (direct) assessment?
These are environmental variables that alter the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer, and alter the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event.
What are Motivating Operations (MO)?
Measuring an outcome or product that a behavior produced.
example: Counting the number of pieces of litter in the park before and after adding extra trash cans.
What is a product measure?
This condition is where every 30 seconds staff give participant a command to perform some simple task. Verbal praise was given contingent on completion of the task.
What is the demand condition?
This section of the ethics code covers multiple relationships and conflicts of interest
What is E-1 Responsible conduct for behavior analysts? (1.06 Multiple Relationships and Conflicts of Interest)
This is used to determine the cause and effect relationship between environment and behavior and altering either the antecedent or consequence or teaching a replacement behavior
What is a Functional Assessment?
Any time we change the way the materials look, how we put them out on the table, or anything about them, we are using a _______ _______.
What is a stimulus prompt?
The measure of time that occurs between two consecutive instances of a response class, which is a basic measurement for many behaviors targeted for reduction or acquisition.
What is IRT?
In this condition when SIB occurs, the participant receives 5 seconds of staff attention (i.e., statements of concern or reprimand)
What is the attention condition?
This section of E-2 Behavior analysts’ responsibility to clients discusses that the behavior analyst have a primary obligation and take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of those with whom they work or consult, recognizing that confidentiality may be established by law, organizational rules, or professional or scientific relationships.
What is 2.06 Maintaining Confidentiality?
During this we arrange antecedents and consequences so that their separate effect on a problem behavior can be observed and the function can be determined.
What is a functional analysis?
When the instructor uses prompts to ensure correct responding and then systematically fades those prompts.
What is errorless learning?
Response opportunities needed to achieve level of performance.
Used to compare efficiency of treatment and assess skill acquisition.
What is trials to criterion?
Sequential introduction of an independent variable across more than one baseline
What is a Multiple Baseline Design?
This section of E-4 Behavior analysts and the behavior-change program discusses behavior analysts must obtain the client’s written approval of the behavior-change program before implementation or making significant modifications (e.g., change in goals, use of new procedures).
What is 4.04 Approving Behavior-Change Programs?
For this assessment stay observant and see what the individual gravitates to naturally and plays with in an unrestricted room. The total duration of time that the learner engages with each item or stimulus is recorded.
What is a Free operant preference assessment?
This involves introducing or altering a new element, such as color, intensity, or size, to the target stimulus, which is gradually faded by reducing its intensity or components.
What is stimulus fading?
Involves the stability of the methods used to obtain the data
Will repeated measures yield consistent data?
What is reliability?
An experimental design characterized by the rapid alternation of two or more distinct treatments (independent variables) while their effects on the target behavior (dependent variable) are measured.
What is a multielement design?
This section of the code states that before implementing punishment-based procedures, behavior analysts ensure that appropriate steps have been taken to implement reinforcement-based procedures unless the severity or dangerousness of the behavior necessitates immediate use of aversive procedures.
What is E-4 Behavior analysts and the behavior-change program? (4.08 Considerations Regarding Punishment Procedures)
The four clinical assessment's Rivermont provides each site:
What are the ABLLS, AFLS, EFL and the VB-MAPP?
When using this strategy, a BCBA first chooses a "target" behavior that is not usually performed when requested. Then he or she quickly asks the learner to do several tasks that he or she normally does willingly, followed immediately by an instruction that's more difficult or less popular . The learner is praised or rewarded after complying with each request.
What is the high-probability (high-p) instructional sequence?
