Measurement
Counting the occurrences of each instance of behavior
Frequency
An assessment where items are presented one at a time and engagement is recorded
Single Stimulus
When a child learns a skill in one environment and can use that skill across different new environments or situations
Generalization
SEAT
exploring objects and toys but not playing with them
Exploratory Play
Time between the presentation of an SD and the initiation of the response.
Latency
An assessment where each trial consists of presenting two items and recording the person's choice of the two. Data is recorded on how many times an item was chosen and then items are ranked and ordered.
Paired Stimulus
Modifying the environment, routines, or events that happen before a less desirable behavior occurs.
Antecedent Interventions
reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior.
DRI
A type of play where children learn to use toys according to their function
Toy Play
Record if the target behavior occurred at the last second of the interval.
Momentary Time Sampling
A hierarchy assessment where the items are placed in an array, the child picks an item, and the item is placed back into the array.
MSWI
A teaching method using behavior chains.
Chaining
reinforcement is withheld for an inappropriate behavior, and a functionally equivalent or alternative, positive behavior is reinforced.
DRA
A type of play where an action is required to get a result
Cause and effect play
Time from the end of a response to the beginning of the next response.
IRT
Assessment where the child is free to roam and play with items and data is recorded based on how long the child plays with the item.
Free Operant
Involves teaching new skills and concepts to individuals without allowing them to make errors during the learning process.
DTT
reinforcing the absence of a problem behavior for a specific period of time, while withholding reinforcement for the problem behavior itself.
DRO
A techniques used to build rapport with your client through play and positive reinforcement
Measurement that is taken during a specified time period/interval.
Discontinuous Measurement
are observations or trial-based evaluations that allow practitioners to determine a hierarchy of items that might function as reinforcers
Preference Assessments
Involves teaching new skills and concepts to individuals without allowing them to make errors during the learning process.
Errorless Learning
Reinforcing one class of behavior while withholding reinforcement for another class of behavior
Differential Reinforcement
It is a positive relationship with a child established using compliance and positive relationship
Instructional control
