What is positive reinforcement (can also mean correct response)
100
This term refers to the activity of living organisms that is external or internal observable
What is behavior
100

Positive reinfocement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______ the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.

What is addition, increases

100
This strategy involves differential reinforcments of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping
100
This is best classified as a request
What is a mand
200
This term is referred to as an FBA
What is What is a Functional Behavior Assessment
200
This is when the child is still learning a certain response. The response is being reinforced, and prompted if necessary but is not yet mastered.
What is acquisition trials
200

Rebecca refused to eat her vegetables at lunch. Morgan told her she had to do 5 jumping jacks if she didn't eat her vegetables. As a result, the refusal behavior decreased.  

What is positive punishment?

200
This strategy involves reinforcing all other behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)
200
Teacher: "Twinkle twinkle little" Child: "star" This is an example of
What is an intraverbal
300
This term is referred to as SD
What is discriminative stimulus
300
This is the process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the result of this process.
What is task analysis
300

Rebecca mands for a break after Eddie presents a demand. As a result, she gets to leave the table for 5 minutes. The behavior of saying "break" increases.

What is negative reinforcement?

300
This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.
What is extinction
300
This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst
400
This is commonly referred to as “ABC”
What is Antecedent Behavior Consequence
400
The sequence of new response classes that emerge during the shaping process as the result of differential reinforcement; each response class is closer in form to the terminal behavior than the response class it replaces.
What is successive approximations
400

Negative punishment occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is removal, decreases

400

This strategy involves teaching skills within natural environments and using the learner’s interests to create teaching opportunities.


What is NET

400
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement
500

This acronym refers to the ethical framework that guides ABA professionals in professional conduct and decision-making.


What is BACB

500

This term refers to an environmental variable that temporarily alters the value of a reinforcer and changes the frequency of behavior associated with that reinforcer.


What is MO

500

This is only reinforcing those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension (i.e., frequency, topography, duration, latency, magnitude) and placing all other responses in the class of extinction

What is differential reinforcement

500

This strategy involves gradually reducing the level of assistance provided


What is fading
