History of ABA
Area of psychology focusing on observable phenomena
Behaviorism
presentation of stimulus (consequence) immediately following a response (behavior) that results in an increase of the behavior in the future
positive reinforcement
Motivating operations can increase or decrease the reinforcing effectiveness of stimuli....T or F
True
We can use an ABC analysis to determine the _______ of a behavior
Function
Withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior
Extinction
Responses (R) occur when a ________ (S) is presented.
Stimulus
Negative reinforcement results in an __________ in the occurrence of the target behavior in the future
Increase
Moving from physical prompting to verbal prompts is an example of prompt _________
Fading
Functional analysis involves observing responses under multiple ________ to record and analyze behavior
Conditions
A clear definition of a behavior that is observable and measurable is referred to as ___
Operational definition
Skinner studied the events that happen before an behavior occurs, also called _______.
Antecedents
A formal way to gain and understanding of what the student might want to work for and be motivated by
Preference assessment
__________-delay strategies are ways to gradually fade prompting
Time
If it is determined that a particular condition leads to an increase of the target behavior, it is said these two have a ____________________.
Functional relationship
You can determine what skills a student needs by conducting this, which is when you compare the student to a same age peer completing the same activity then trying to narrow the gap
Discrepancy Analysis
Skinner's main philosophy holds that behavior is _________, and occurs as a result of the consequences of behavior
learned
These can occur verbally, through gestures, by modeling, or physical guidance
Prompts
Using the Verbal Behavior Approach, a request is considered a _____.
Mand
Once we know the function, we try to teach a replacement behavior that is appropriate but serves the same function, a concept known as
functional equivalence
This type of research design is used most often to determine functional relationships
Multiple baseline or multiple probe
ABA is rooted in the idea of this three term contingency.
ABC-antecedent, behavior, consequence
If a student pays attention to irrelevant aspect of a stimulus, they suffer from _____
stimulus overselectivity
In the verbal behavior approach, a student pointing to a block and saying block is an example of a ____.
Tact
Name at least two concepts of a Functional Behavior Assessment
Interviews, Direct observation, Analysis of variables, HYpothesize function, Data Collection
Multiple baseline designs observe at least three different conditions across these three different possibilities.
Setting, people, behavior
