Functions of Behaviour and Antecedent Interventions
Stimulus Control
Task Analysis and Chaining
100
The main category of research used in Applied Behaviour Analysis.
What is Single Subject Research Designs
100
A reinforcer that is a product of evolutionary development related to biological needs and survival (e.g., food).
What is a unconditioned reinforcer?
100
The function of scratching a mosquito bite to relieve the itch.
What is automatic negative reinforcement?
100
Eliminating prompts so the target behavior occurs in the presence of SD alone.
What is transfer of stimulus control?
100
The process of breaking a behavior chain or complex skill down into its discrete stimulus/response components.
What is a task analysis?
200
How much physical force is involved in the behaviour
What is intensity?
200
The removal of an (aversive) stimulus to increase future rates of behavior.
What is negative reinforcement?
200
Delivering a series of simple, known instructions and providing reinforcement for appropriate responses before issuing the target antecedent.
What is high P request sequence?
200
This includes the antecedent, behaviour, and consequence.
What is the three term contingency?
200
When teaching a student to brush their teeth you teach putting the toothbrush away first.
What is a backwards chain?
300
Behavior that can be observed and recorded by a person other than the one engaging in the behaviour (e.g., waving, yelling, etc.).
What is overt behaviour?
300
Schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided after a varying but average amount of time has passed.
What is a variable interval schedule?
300
The antecedent intervention you might use if a person engages in a problem behavior for attention and you want to eliminate the establishing operation for the behaviour.
What is non-contingent reinforcement?
300
A stimulus that is present when a particular behavior is reinforced.
What is an SD or Discriminated Stimulus?
300
The type of chaining procedure that may have different prompting levels built in throughout the chain.
What is total task presentation?
400
A time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals. The observer records whether the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval.
What is partial interval recording?
400
Reinforcement for the absence of the target behaviour.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviours (DRO)?
400
Examples are twirling hair, tapping finger, and hand flapping.
What is automatic positive reinforcement?
400
The first part of the three term contingency.
What is an antecedent?
400
The type of chain where the natural reinforcer is not accessed until the entire chain has been taught.
What is a forwards chain?
500
Recording the time between the occurrence of consecutive responses (e.g., the time from the end of one event of crying to the beginning of another event of crying).
What is inter response time?
500
This involves reinforcing one response class and witholding reinforcement for another response class.
What is differential reinforcement?
500
The wife yells at her husband and he is more likely to do the dishes. The function of the wife's behaviour is likely...
What is Social Positive Reinforcement (access to tangibles)?
500
A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has not been reinforced.
What is an S-Delta or Stimulus Delta?
500
In the behavioural chain of tying your shoe, making a knot with the shoe laces is a(n) _______ for making a bow with the lace.
