Documentation, Reporting, & Professionalism
What kind of notes are called when you describe what happened without an opinion
What is Objective notes?
When you add (+) something desirable to make a behavior happen more often.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Ex. You give a dog a treat for sitting, making the dog more likely to sit next time.
(+ added to INCREASE behavior)
What are the funtions of behavior?
What is:
Sensory / Automatic
Escape / Avoidance
Attention
Tangible / Assess
Teaching in a natural, everyday situations
What is Naturalistic Teaching (NET)
How many times a behavior happens
What is Frequency?
Rules RBT's must follow to ensure responsible, ethical practice
What is BACB ETHICS CODE?
You remove (-) or take away something unpleasant to make a behavior happen more often
What is Negative Reinforcement?
Ex. the beeping stops when you buckle, so you are more likely to buckle up next time
(- removed to INCREASE behavior)
This temporarily increase or decrease the value of something (i.e., they increase or decrease the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer).
What is Motivating Operation?
Structured Teaching
SD -> Response -> Consequence -> pause
What is Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)
Most common graph used in ABA
What is line graph?
Something that is written when something unusual/injury occurs.
What is Incident Report?
Swapping out an unwanted behavior for a better one
that serves the same purpose.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior?
Ex.
Kid spits to get attention. So you teach them to say "Heyl instead. Reinforce when they say "Hey. ignore spitting
Decreases the reinforcing value of stimuli/consequences
What is Abolishing Operation?
Ex. Feeling full will decrease the value of food
Breaking a skill into smaller steps
When two people record the data at the same time etime to check accuracy
What is Interobserver Agreement (IOA)?
What is it called when client information is shared with only authorized people
What is Confidentiality?
The replacement behavior can't happen at the same time as the problem behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior?
Ex. Kid kicks during circle time. You reinforce sitting criss-cross. Kid can't kick and sit still at once.
The withholding reinfocement for a behavior
What is Extinction?
Using prompts so the learner doesn't make errors
What is errorless learning?
The time from instruction (SD) to when behavior/response starts
What is Latency?
Term that describes only doing what you are trained/ allowed to do
What is Scope of Practice?
Reinforcing any time the problem behavior doesn't happen for X seconds/minutes.
What is Differential Reinforcement Other than the behavior?
Ex.
(Spitting happens a lot. Every 2 mins with no spitting, you give praise or reward.)
Giving reinforcement on a time schedule, NOT based on behavior.
Skill works across people, settings, materials
What is Generalization?
The time between two responses
What is Interresponse Time (IRT)
