Measurement
The formal name for count
What is frequency?
The term that encompasses the seven core beliefs in ABA that Baer, Wolf, and Risley wrote about- generality, effective, technological, applied, conceptually systematic, analytic, behavioral
What are the dimensions of applied behavior analysis?
This is a stimulus that when applied after the behavior increases the likelihood the behavior will occur in the future
What is reinforcement?
An example of this type of prompting is gestural, partial physical, full physical.
What is least-to-most prompting?
What is deprivation?
The formal name for count per unit time
What is rate?
In a scientific experiment, this variable is the one that is being tested and measured
What is the dependent variable?
This is a stimulus which applied after the behavior will decrease the likelihood the behavior will occur in the future
What is punishment?
An example of this type of prompting is full physical, partial physical, gestural.
What is most-to-least prompting?
An antecedent manipulation where you give the child lots of access to a reinforcer to decrease it's value
What is satiation?
What is latency?
An experimental design in which the treatment or other intervention is removed for one or more periods; typically consists of three phases
What is withdrawal design?
- Reinforcement in one setting could lead to a decrease in the target behavior in another setting (behavioral contrast)
- Reinforcement of a specific behavior could lead to an increase in undesirable behaviors in that same functional response class
- Similarly, reinforcement of a specific behavior could lead to a decrease in desirable behaviors in the same functional response class
What are unwanted effects of reinforcement?
In this type of task chaining, all steps of the TA are taught at the same time and graduated guidance is used
What is total task presentation?
This type of group contingency allows anyone in the group who meets the criteria to receive reinforcement
What is an independent group contingency?
The time between two responses in the same class
What is inter-response time?
An experimental design in which the experimental condition or treatment assigned to the participant changes from session to session or within sessions.
What is alternating treatment/multi-element design?
- Spontaneous recovery
- Increase in behavior variability
What are the unwanted effects of extinction?
In this type of task chaining, the first step is taught and all other steps are done HOH until the first step is mastered, then the second step is added on to the chain.
What is forward chaining?
This type of group contingency requires all members of the group to reach the set criteria to receive reinforcement or no one receives reinforcement
What is an interdependent group contingency?
This is a measure of how accurately two or more people track the same behavior
What is inter-observer agreement?
An experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria for reinforcement or punishment.
What is changing criterion design?
- Inappropriate stimulus generalization
- Recovery or resurgence of the target behavior
- Habituation to aversive stimuli
What are unwanted effects of punishment?
In this type of task chaining, all steps of the chain are done HOH until the last step, which is taught until mastery. At that time the second to last step is added on to the chain.
What is backward chaining?
This type of group contingency offers a reward to an entire group based upon the behavior or performance of one or more of it's group members
What is a dependent group contingency?
