Skill Acquisition
instructions, gestures, demonstrations, touches, or other things that we arrange or do to increase the likelihood that children will make correct responses
What is a prompt?
A procedure for implementing time-out in which social reinforcers - usually attention, physical contact, and verbal interaction - are withheld for a brief period contingent on the occurence of the target behavior.
What is planned ignoring?
A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low frequency behavior.
What is the Premack Principle?
This is the data collection that would be used to count every occurrence of a behavior.
What is frequency?
This is Lauren's favorite food.
What is french fries?
a teaching process that breaks down complex activities into a series of simple steps that students are able to learn more easily.
What is a task analysis?
These are the four functions of behavior.
What is Automatic, Escape, Attention and Denied Access?
giving them easy tasks or demands, that they are highly likely to do first before presenting them with more difficult tasks.
What is behavioral momentum?
This is the data collection system used to determine what happened before and after a specific target behavior occurred.
What is ABC Data?
This is Miriam's favorite animal.
reinforcing a behavior (e.g., pecking) in the presence of one stimulus but not others.
What is discrimination training?
The discontinuing of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behaviors.
What is extinction?
help form and maintain rapport with a child by combining (i.e. pairing) the learning environment and the parent with already established reinforcers (items that are rewarding)
What is the process of pairing?
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?
This is Brooke's middle name?
What is Hayley?
when an individual applies something learned in a specific situation to other similar situations in specifics to setting, people, and places.
What is generalization?
a short-term, alternative behavior that allows the student to meet their need while they are learning the skills to engage in the desired behavior.
What is a replacement behavior?
An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evoked by an establishing operation.
What is functional communication training?
A time sampling method for measuring behavior the observer records whether the target behavior occurred throughout the ENTIRE interval
What is whole interval recording?
This scientist did classical conditioning
Who is pavlov?
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence of absence of an antecedent stimulus.
What is Stimulus Control?
This is using differential reinforcement to produce a series of gradually changing response classes; each response class is a successive approximation toward a terminal behavior.
What is shaping?
An antecedent intervention in which stimuli with known reinforcing properties are delivered on a schedule of reinforcement independent of the learner's behavior.
What is noncontingent reinforcement?
Real or concrete objects or outcomes that result from a behavior.
What is a permanent product?
This is Stacey's college minor.
What is ceramics?
