Discrete Trials
General ABA Terms
Habit forming behavior
Terminal fun
Is it reinforcement or punishment?
100
In Discrete Trial cycle, the prompt should occur at this time. (hint: after the instruction; simultaneously with the instruction or just after it; before the instruction)
What is simultaneously with the instruction or just after it
100
The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible fore improvement in behavior.
What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?
100
A decrease in responsiveness to repeated presentations of a stimulus; most often used to describe a reduction of respondent behavior as a function of repeated presentation of the eliciting stimulus over a short span of time (habituation; generalized setting; forward chaining; imitation)
What is habituation?
100
This is the instruction during DTI.
What is Discriminative Stimulus (Sd)?
100
This is when a response is followed immediately by a stimulus change that decreased the future frequency of similar responses.
What is punishment?
200
True or False-The informational "no" is not necessary in Discrete Trial Instruction.
What is True?
200
This is the term for the various procedures for teaching behavior chains.
What is chaining (such as backward chaining and forward chaining)?
200
This is the term used for multiple-component treatment package for reducing unwanted habits such as fingernail biting and muscle tics; typically involves self-awareness training involving response detection and procedures for identifying events that precede and trigger the response; completing response training; and motivation techniques including self-administered consequences, social support systems and procedures for prompting the generalization and maintenance of treatment gains.
What is habit reversal?
200
A response-to reinforcement delay of 1 second will be less effective than a 0-second delay refers to this phrase (hint: nature of positive reinforcement; importance of immediacy of reinforcement; or Reinforcement depends on motivation)
What is the Importance of Immediacy of Reinforcement?
200
This occurs when the presentation of a stimulus (or an increase in the intensity of an already present stimulus) immediately following a behavior results in a decreases in the frequency of the behavior (stubbing ones toe onj a chair leg is a form of this)
What is Positive punishment?
300
In Discrete Trial Instruciton (DTI), the inter-trial-interval (ITI) generally lasts this long.
What is 1-3 seconds?
300
A sequence of responses in which each response produces a stimulus change that functions as conditioned reinforcement for that response and as a discriminative stimulus for the next response in the chain is called.
What is behavior chain?
300
Another term for the adjustment that occurs when a person's repertoire has been changed such that short- and long-term reinforcers are maximized and short- and long-term punishers are minimized. (hint: frequency; forward chaining; or habilitation)
What is habilitation?
300
These 3 terms are key in developing new behavior (hint: A. extinction; shaping; and time outs B. imitation; shaping; and chaining C. self-management; verbal behavior; and differential reinforcment
What are (B.) Imitation; Shaping; and Chaining?
300
This occurs when a response is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus, and as a result similar responses occur more frequently in the future.
What is positive reinforcement?
400
This is the definition of discrete trial.
What is breaking skills down into small steps and teaching one sub-skill at a time until mastery?
400
A ratio of count per observation time is called (hint: duration; momentary time sample; frequency count; or inter-response time)
What is frequency count?
400
This metaphor is used to describe a rate of responding and its resistance to change following an alteration in reinforcement conditions. This is also used describe the effects produced by the high-probability (high-p) request sequence.
What is behavioral momentum?
400
Make the instructional setting similar to the generalization setting; maximize contact with reinforcement in the generalization setting; and training to generalize. These are all ______. (hint: teach sufficient stimulus examples; teaching "don't do it" examples; or strategies and tactics for promoting generalized behavior change)
What are some strategies and tactics for promoting generalized behavior change?
400
When a stimulus change that functions as reinforcement even though the learner has had no particular learning history with it is called an unconditioned ______.
What is unconditioned reinforcement?
500
This is an example of the concept: The teacher glances at the cow toy as she presents the instruction, "Give me the cow."
What is Inadvertent prompting?
500
Using differential reinforcement to produce a series of gradually changing response classes; each responses class is successive approximation toward a terminal behavior is called... (hint: shaping; fading; tact; intraverbal)
What is shaping?
500
This change has taken place if trained behavior occurs at other times or in other places, or if functionally related behaviors occur that were not taught directly. (hint: generalization; maturation; induction; or ABA)
What is Generalization?
500
Errorless Teaching uses a ____ to _____ prompting hierarchy. (hint: most to least or least to most)
What is most to least
500
When a period of free choice was used to ____ a student's completion of school work, the student's grades improved. This is an example of ______.
What is reinforce/reinforcement?
