Measurement
The five forms of continuous measurement are:
Duration, rate, frequency, inter-response time and latency.
Paired choice preference assessments are also known as:
What is the definition of reinforcement?
A behavior is more likely to occur in the future.
What is motivating in that moment and what is aversive is known as what?
Motivating operations.
Reinforcing closer approximations of a terminal end goal.
Shaping.
Some instances of the response in this form of measurement may not be recorded.
Discontinuous measurement.
Deprivation, immediacy, size and contingency are the four components of:
The principals of reinforcer effectiveness.
Primary or unconditioned reinforcers.
Beyond satisfaction; the more of something that the child has had, the less motivating the item will be to the child.
Satiation
A procedure for decreasing problem behaviors in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior occurring during specific time intervals and is withheld if the problem behavior is exhibited during that time interval.
DRO.
Specified intervals are set, and the observer records whether the behavior is occurring at the end of the interval.
Momentary Time Sampling.
Asking the learner what they want to learn for is what type of preference assessment?
Interview with learner.
Removing something immediately following a behavior that increases the future likelihood of that behavior occurring again, is what?
Negative reinforcement.
Environmental variable that temporarily decreases the value of a reinforcer.
Abolishing Operations.
When reinforcement is delivered each time the target behavior is displayed.
Continuous Reinforcement Schedule.
The amount the behavior occurs during the observation time, is what?
Rate.
The reinforcer should only be delivered after the desired behavior has occurred.
Contingency.
A secondary reinforcer is also known as what?
A conditioned reinforcer.
Up to a limit, the greater the time without the reinforcer, the more effective the reinforcer will be for the child.
Deprivation.
Knowing that a pit-bull, dalmatian and a chihuahua are all dogs is known as what?
Stimulus Generalization.
A therapist asks the learner to clean up their toys before transitioning. When the therapist turns back around, they see all the toys have been put away. What procedure is this?
Permant Product Recording.
These are often used when trying to identify problem behaviors or assess skill sets and to understand the magnitude of the behavior and are typically more effective at identifying problem behaviors or current skill sets.
Direct Assessment.
If a learner pretends to fall asleep during group, every two minutes, the therapist will give the learner attention or praise. What procedure is the therapist implementing?
Non-contingent reinforcement.
What is establishing operations?
An environmental variable that temporarily increases the value of a reinforcer.
Matching a toy banana to a picture of a banana in a field of five is known as what?
VP-MTS.
