Reinforcement
Hitting the alarm clock in the morning is an example of this type of reinforcement.
Negative Reinforcement
When looking at Experimental Design, a Schedule of Reinforcement may refer to which of the 2 variables?
What is the independent variable?
This teaching method breaks a skill into small steps and teaches it through repeated, structured trials.
What is discrete trial teaching?
This person is known as the "Father of Behaviorism"
Who is John B. Watson?
A BCBA is working in a clinic and supervises 2 RBT's. The BCBA discovers that one of the RBT's is engaged to her cousin. This situation describes this component of the ethical code.
What is Dual Relationships?
A previously neutral stimulus that gains the power to increase behavior after being paired with an unconditioned or already established reinforcer is called this.
Conditioned Reinforcer.
A researcher conducts an ABA study with one child in a highly controlled therapy room. The results show that the intervention successfully decreases the child’s problem behavior. However, the researcher is unsure whether the same intervention would work with other children or in different settings. This refers to the following type of validity.
What is external validity?
The teacher says, “Touch the red card.” This instruction is called the ______.
What is the discriminative stimulus?
This person is best known for his work in the area of classical conditioning.
Who is Pavlov?
The purpose of this procedure is to try and transfer an erred response to an independent response.
What is a transfer trial?
Giving an M&M every 4th time the client responds correctly is an example of this schedule of reinforcement
Fixed Ratio.
When looking at case design,studying one child’s behavior before and after an intervention is considered _______, while comparing the behavior of 20 children who received an intervention to 20 children who did not is considered _____
single-case; group.
After given the instruction "touch the red card" by an instructor, the learner touches the red card. In this case, the learner touching the red card would be considered the ______.
response.
This individual wrote the book, "Science and Human Behavior." He is also associated with the study of Radical Behaviorism.
Who is B.F. Skinner?
In trying to develop a goal for recess time for a learner, the BCBA may try to obtain this to know what typical levels are and what to target for a goal.
What is normative data?
This teaching strategy involves the differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
Shaping
This is one of the four patterns of baseline data and demonstrates peaks and valleys with little to no trend.
What is a variable baseline?
Let's assume for this case, that verbal praise has been identified as a stimulus that increases the likelihood of future behavior. After a learner engages in a correct response, the teacher provides verbal praise to the learner. Verbal Praise is an example of ______.
reinforcement.
This individual was involved in what is known as "The Little Albert Experiment," which demonstrated how fear could be conditioned.
Who is John B. Watson?
This is best defined as a punishment procedure that withholds reinforcement from a behavior that historically has contacted reinforcement.
What is extinction?
This type of reinforcement is used to increase the frequency of a desired behavior that is not happening often enough.
What is DRH?
These are the four main single case experimental designs (RMMC)
Reversal, Multielement Design, Multiple baseline design, Changing Criterion Design
A learner answers correctly with a pointing prompt. The teacher systematically reduces that help so the learner can eventually respond independently. This process is called ______
Prompt fading.
This individual is largely credited with promoting compassionate practices in the field of behavior analysis and developing the Practical Functional Analysis as well as Skills Based Treatment.
