100
name three types of measurement
rate, duration, and response latency
100
define schedules of reinforcement
how often you are reinforcing
100
what is skill acquisition plan
written plan which is developed by the Behavior Analyst that contains information about behavior programming for the purposes of teaching certain skills
100
what is errorless learning
Teaching procedures designed so that the learner easily produces the right answer at each new step and makes very few (if any) mistakes overall
100
When defining behavior, all definitions should be both observable and __________. This way, we can see the behavior AND collect data.
measurable
200
define count
A simple tally of the number of occurences of a behavior
200
what are the two types of reinforcement and define them
continuous and intermittent
continuous: when you reinforce after every correct response
intermittent: when you reinforce occasionally
200
TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT
Unconditioned Reinforcement, Conditioned Reinforcement, Continuous Reinforcement, and Intermittent Reinforcement
200
errorless learning is a
type of prompt
200
Based on the data displayed on the graph below, what is the likely function of the client's problem behavior?
tangible
300
When we refer to the validity of a measurement system, we are referring to what?
Data are directly related to the behavior being measured and the reasons for measuring it
300
name the main for types of intermittent reinforcement
Fixed ratio, Variable ratio, Fixed interval, and Variable interval
300
What are the 3 stages of skill acquisition?
cognitive, associative, and autonomous
300
what is an example of most- least prompting
A teacher initially provides an instructional cue for the task to begin but no prompt is given. If the student does not perform the task, or does so incorrectly, the teacher provides the least amount of support. ... The teacher sequences the prompts starting with the least intrusive one
300
describe multiple stimulus without replacement
allows the student to rank stimuli that are most preferred among an array of options.
400
name the type of data collection that is being described below.
Brandy collected the total number of times Terrance punched the table over three separate 1 hour observation periods. Afterwards, she calculated the total number of times Terrance punched the table per hour.
rate
400
define the terms ratio and interval
ratio: the amount of responses you give
interval: time
400
what is a SD and what is the definition
definition: Stimulus that Evokes behavior because that behavior has been reinforced in the presence of the stimulus
SD: discriminative stimulus
400
what is prompt fading
gradually reducing the prompt
400
What is the preference assessment where the individual is systematically exposed to many stimuli in sets of two - this arrangement allows for each item to be presented an equal number of times, which enables us to create a "preference hierarchy" (i.e., how much each item is preferred / non-preferred).
paired choice
500
What does reliability of a measurement system refer to?
Allows us to directly compare behavior when the observation period might vary in length
500
define negative reinforcement and give an example
definition: a response or behavior is strengthened by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome or aversive stimulus
example: Nancy can get up from the dinner table (aversive stimulus) when she eats 2 bites of her broccoli (behavior)
500
what does FR stand for and how many responses does it take to get reinforcement for a FR7?
FR: fixed ratio
FR7: 7 responses
500
What are the three prompting components?
- the antecedent
- the behavior
- the consequence
500
These are the four functions of behavior
attention, escape, tangible, automatic
