Definitions
Providing assistance to encourage a correct response
What is Prompting?
Planned Ignoring is one type of THIS
What is Extinction Procedures?
Based on principles of operant conditioning: reinforcement, punishment, and extinction.
What is Behaviour Modification?
This involves recording what is actually seen or heard, rather than interpreting or assuming intent.
What is objective observation
A screaming child might scream louder or longer when the candy is no longer given
What is an Extinction Burst
The reappearance of a previously extinguished behaviour after a delay.
What is Spontaneous Recovery?
Examples of THIS include: Physical, Verbal, Gestural, Visual
What are types of prompts
Increases behaviour via reward
What is Reinforcement
The "C" of ABC
What is Consequence
Thinking, worrying, feeling sad, planning.
What is Covert Behaviour
the process by which a previously reinforced behaviour decreases in frequency when reinforcement is withheld
What is Extinction
Fixed Ratio, Variable Ratio, Fixed Interval, Variable Interval
What are types of Reinforcement Schedules
Withholding reinforcement to reduce behaviour
What is Extinction
Involves pictures, signs, schedules, or written instructions
What are visual prompts
Hand-over-hand assistance to teach handwashing
What is a physical Prompt
A temporary increase in the frequency, duration, or intensity of the behaviour after the extinction procedure is initiated
What is an Extinction Burst?
Shaping, Chaining, Modeling, Token Economies
What are Behaviour Modification Strategies
Demonstrable behaviour such as yelling or hitting
What is Overt Behaviour
These are small steps toward a target behavior.
What are approximations
Weeks after tantrums stopped, the child throws a tantrum again—but only briefly.
What is Spontaneous Recovery
A consequence that increases the likelihood a behavior will occur again in the future
What is Reinforcement?
Antecedent, Behaviour, Consequence
What is ABC recording
This is what happens immediately BEFORE the behaviour, also known as a trigger
What is the Antecedent
This breaks a task into small steps and teaches them in sequence.
What is Chaining
Turning off a loud alarm when seatbelt is fastened
What is negative reinforcement
