______: A stimulus or event that precedes the taget behavior.
What is the ANTECEDENT?
100
A ___________ is a relationship between a response and a consequence in which the consequence is presented only if the response occurs.
What is a CONTINGENCY?
100
__________ : Alternative, appropriate behaviors that result in access to the same reinforcers that target behaviors used to result in.
What is a REPLACEMENT BEHAVIOR?
100
Punishment always results in a __________ in the future probability of behavior.
What is a DECREASE?
100
Mike has not had any ice cream in a week. His father tells him he can have a big bowl of ice cream if he helps clean the garage. Since Mike has not had any ice cream in a week, ice cream is very reinforcing right now and as such, Mike is likely to engage in the task to access his ice cream. This is an example of what?
What is DEPRIVATION?
200
______: Stimulus or event occurring immediately after the behavior.
What is the CONSEQUENCE?
200
__________: Schedule of reinforcement in which every instance of the behavior is followed by the reinforcer
What is a CONTINUOUS SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT?
200
_______: A type of prompt in which the trainer physically assists the learner to engage in the correct behavior at the correct time. Most often, this includes hand over hand.
What is a PHYSICAL PROMPT?
200
Reinforcement always results in an ___________ in the future probability of behavior.
What is an INCREASE?

As part of Joey's programs, he can earn a Joeybuck for each afternoon he engages in calm hands, safe body, and quiet voice. At designated times, he can turn in his Joeybucks for other reinforcers. The reinforcers Joey can turn his Joeybucks in for are an example of what?
What is BACKUP REINFORCERS?
300
Which is a function of behavior? (A): Attention (B): Escape (C): Tangibles (D): Automatic Reinforcement (E): All of the above
What is (E) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
300
______________: Stimulus that is present when a particular behavior is reinforced.
What is a DISCRIMINATIVE STIMULUS?
300
________________: A schedule of reinforcement in which not every instance of the behavior is followed by the delivery of a reinforcer
What is an INTERMITTENT SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT?
300
___________ : Contingent on behavior, a stimulus or event is presented and the probability of the behavior increases in the future.
What is POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT?
300
Kara asks repetitive questions in order to access attention from staff. In order to decrease this behavior, staff have stopped providing attention when Kara asks a question more than once. Now, when Kara does not get attention, she escalates to other behaviors, including aggression, until staff respond to her. What is this an example of?
What is an EXTINCTION BURST?
400
True or False: Behavior --> Antecedent --> Consequence
What is FALSE?
400
______: A type of prompt in which the trainer demonstrates the target behavior for the learner.
What is a MODELING PROMPT?
400
__________: Process by which, when a previously reinforced behavior is no longer followed by reinforcing consequences, the frequency of the behavior decreases in the future.
What is EXTINCTION?
400
___________ : Occurrence of behavior is followed by the removal of a reinforcing stimulus, which results in the decrease in future probability of behavior.
What is NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT?
400
When Jim appropriately asked to watch TV in the great room, staff provided verbal praise and sat with Jim while he watched TV. As a result, Jim is more likely to appropriately ask to watch TV in the future.
What is POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT?
500
The _____ _________ of behavior are frequency, duration, intensity, and latency.
What are the FOUR DIMENSIONS?
500
_________________ : A conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with a variety of other reinforcers
What are GENERALIZED CONDITIONED REINFORCERS?
500
____________ : Phenomenon in which when a behavior is no longer reinforced, the behavior tempoarily increases in frequency, duration, or intensity before it decreases - novel behaviors or emotions may also occur.
What is an EXTINCTION BURST?
500
____________: Occurrence of behavior is followed by the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus that results in increase of the future probability of behavior
What is NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT?
500
When Edwin uses his pictures to request food and drink items, staff reinforce Edwin by granting access to the requested item. Staff do not reinforce Edwin (or grant access to these items) when he engages in physical aggression attempting to access to the fridge. What is this an example of?
