Measurement
A measure of how many times something occurs
Frequency
An action or response that follows a behavior and effects the likelihood that the behavior will or will not occur in the future
What is an antecedent?
Demonstrating the skill to the student
What is modeling?
ABA
What is Applied Behavior of Analysis?
True or False - there is always a reason that a person engages in a specific behavior
A measure of length of time a behavior occurred
What is duration?
A strategy for establishing yourself as a reinforcer by associating yourself with reinforcers
What is pairing?
Name three types of response prompts
What are visual, verbal, gestural,modeling, physical prompts?
ASD
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Altering the complexity of a task may reduce the likelihood of disruptive behavior caused by this function
What is escape/avoidance?
A data collection system when you mark if the behavior occurred at any time during a specified interval
What is partial interval?
When a skill is taught under one set of conditions and the individual is able to apply the same skill under new/different conditions
What is generalization?
The most invasive response prompt
What is physical prompt?
ABC
Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence
Billy is playing on the playground. He looks at the teacher and then runs toward the parking lot. Billy looks at the teacher and the teacher begins to chase Billy and yelling to tell him to come back to the playground. Name the likely function of the running behavior.
What is attention?
The measure of reliability where the degree to which two or more independent observers report the same observed values is scored
What is Interobserver Agreement (IOA)?
A process used to teach a skill by differentially reinforcing successive approximations to the goal/target behavior.
What is shaping?
The process of gradually removing prompts
What is prompt fading?
IOA
What is interobserver agreement?
The student is playing with Legos during Center Time. When the teacher directs the students to return to their desks, the student grabs all of the Leogs and sits on the floor. Name the function.
What is tangible?
We do this to document student progress and make instructional decisions.
What is data collection?
Reinforcing only the appropriate response/behavior and withholding reinforcement for other responses/behavior
What is differential reinforcement?
Starting with the most help and gradually reducing the amount of support provided
What is most-to-least prompt fading?
SEAT
Sensory, Escape, Attention, Tangible (functions of behavior)
Name the four functions of behavior
What are sensory, escape/avoidance, attention, and tangible?
