What is negative reinforcement?
This process involves associating a therapist with reinforcement to build rapport with a client.
What is pairing?
This is an example of having more than one connection with a person that could pose an ethical dilemma.
What are dual relationships?
This refers to the stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement.
What is Discriminative stimulus?
a systematic sequence of prompts from most to least intrusive, used to teach a new skill.
What is prompt hierarchy?
a procedure in which reinforcement is discontinued in order to decrease or eliminate occurrences of behavior
What is extinction?
Pairing may turn a therapist into this:
a. a neutral stimulus
b. a wizard
c. a conditioned reinforcer
d. a barrier
What is a conditioned reinforcer?
This is when a BCBA practices or makes clinical recommendations in an area that is outside of their expertise.
What is Scope of Competence?
This is the process of correcting an incorrect response and then providing an opportunity for an independent response.
What is a transfer trial.
involves using cues like pointing, nodding or other motions to indicate the correct response.
What is a gestural prompt?
Stimuli that become reinforcing after being paired with primary reinforcers.
What are conditioned reinforcers?
When done correctly, the presence of the therapist signals the availability of this.
What is reinforcement?
The BCBA is asked by the director of a school to observe a student who is not on the BCBA's caseload. The BCBA says he cannot conduct an observation or make any clinical recommendations without this.

Behavior that is maintained by operant mechanisms independent of the social environment.
What is automatic reinforcement?

What is graphing?
This describes what you should be following in order to ensure that reinforcement delivery is happening at the appropriate time and customized to the learner.

What is a skill deficit?
a procedure that involves reinforcing specific topographies of behavior while withholding reinforcement for different topographies of behavior.
What is differential reinforcement?
In stimulus-stimulus pairing, a neutral stimulus is repeatedly presented along with THIS, to give the neutral stimulus value.
What is an unconditioned stimulus?
BCBAs must have this before beginning services.
What is a contract or service agreement
This is how the learner should be demonstrating a skill in order to consider the skill "mastered"
