Measurements
The number of times a behavior occurs.
What is frequency?
We use this to find patterns in, and function of, behavior
What is ABC data?
Request help from a BCBA, de-escalate client as much as possible.
What are responses to crisis?
It takes EcoTok twenty seconds to respond to "clap your hands"
What is a twenty second latency?
The vertical line on a graph separating baseline data and acquisition.
What is a phaseline change?
A new intervention is introduced.
What is a phase line change?
The levels of help we provide to correct responses.
What is the prompting hierarchy?
Providing a token on a VR schedule that can be exchanged for a tangible reinforcement after the tokens have been earned.
What is a token system?
We remind a client before a transition that a change is coming.
What is an antecedent intervention?
We don't discuss adult things around kids, or ignore kids to use our phones.
What are professional boundaries?
The length of time a behavior occurs.
What is duration?
We start teaching a task with the first step, and prompt throughout the rest of the task until they've mastered the first step.
What is forward chaining?
A client is reinforced for behavior other than a target behavior during an interval with a specified reinforcement.
What is DRO (other)?
A parent described new environmental changes at home and asked you to implement a new programming with client.
What is seek clinical direction from BCBA?
We are reinforcing a child for using a chewy instead of biting themselves or others.
What is DRI (incompatible)?
We mark a + if segecam cries for entire fifteen minute intervals throughout the session. If she cries for less than the entire interval, we mark -
What is whole interval data?
We start teaching a task by prompting through the task, then teaching the last step until they've mastered the last step, then teach the second to last.
What is backward chaining?
Ignoring attention seeking.
What is extinction?
We are reinforcing a child for raising their hand instead of shouting out answers.
What is DRA (alternative)?
We no longer reinforce a client's crying (usually occurring approximately 45 minutes a day). It spikes to 130 minutes a day for two weeks.
What is an extinction burst?
We observe the client every 9 minutes to see if a behavior is occurring.
What is momentary time sampling?
We teach a complete task step by step and prompt only as needed.
What is total task chaining?
An unpredictable spike in a behavior after it is put on extinction.
What is an extinction burst?
After prompting a client to clap with full physical twice, I attempt to fade to partial physical.
What is two-prompt fading?
A client who formerly said "ohsigh" to access going outside is only reinforced when he says "outsigh"
What is shaping?
