ABA Basics
The science that uses principle of behavior to improve socially significant behaviors.
What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
Counting how many times a behavior occurs.
What is frequency?
Giving a preferred item after a desired behavior to increase that behavior.
What is positive reinforcement?
This procedure reinforces a desired behavior while withholding reinforcement for the problem behavior.
What is differential reinforcement?
Your learner correctly identifies a picture and you immediately give them a sticker. What procedure are you using?
What is positive reinforcement?
The consequence that increases the future likelihood of a behavior.
What is consequence?
Measuring how long a behavior lasts.
What is duration?
Removing an unpleasant stimulus after a behavior, increasing that behavior.
What is negative reinforcement?
DRA stands for this.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior?
Your learner completes their work and gets 5 minutes with their tablet. what is the tablet functioning as?
What is a reinforcer?
The tree-termed contingency consists of antecedent, behavior, and this.
What is consequence?
Measuring the amount of time between two events or between an instruction and a response.
What is latency?
Reinforcing closer and closer approximations towards a target behavior.
What is shaping?
In DRI, the behavior being reinforced cannot occur at the same time as the problem behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior?
A learner begins screaming whenever a difficult task is presented. The task is removed immediately after screaming. What function might be maintaining the behavior?
What is escape?
What is extinction?
Recording whether a behavior occurs during any part of a specified interal.
What is partial-interval recording?
Reinforcing a desired behavior while withholding reinforcement for an undesired behavior.
What is differential reinforcement?
This procedure reinforces the absence of a target behavior for a specified period of time.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior(DRO)?
Your BACB asks you to collect frequency data. You should record what?
What is the number of times the behavior occurs?
A stimulus that occurs immediately before a behavior and influences the likelihood that the behavior will occur.
What is antecedent?
A measurement system in which the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be scored.
What is whole-interval recording?
A schedule where reinforcement is delivered after a predictable number of responses.
What is fixed-ratio schedule?
A learner screams to escape difficult tasks. The RBT reinforces the learner for appropriately requesting a break instead of screaming. What type of differential reinforcement is this?
What is DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior)
A learner engages in aggression. You notice aggression consistently results in adults giving attention. What possible function should you consider?
What is Attention?
