Differential Schedules
A procedure in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of (i.e, omission) of the challenging behavior.
DRO
The school teacher delivers the student a break from school work exactly one hour since their last break. Before taking another break, the student must complete at least one problem on their assignment. What is this schedule of reinforcement?
Fixed interval
This compound schedule of reinforcement provided reinforcement when the requirement of BOTH a ratio schedule and an interval schedule are met.
Conjunctive schedule
Sally receives behavior analytic services at school (requested by the teacher) and also at home (requested by the parents). Who of the following would be considered a stakeholder?
Sally
Parents and teacher
Teacher
Parents
Parents and teacher
What are the four functions of behaviors?
T
E
A
M
S
A procedure in which one reinforces the occuurence of behavior that provides a desirable alternative to the problem behavior; not necessarily incompatible with it.
DRA
Sean put himself on a study schedule. After every 15 power point slides of studying, he allowed himself 3 minutes of social media. This is an example of
Fixed ratio
The compound schedule of reinforcement occurs when two or more schedules of reinforcement are occurring successively and in a specific order. There is a discriminative stimulus correlated with each schedule.
Chained schedules
Janice is the mother of a girl receiving early intervention services for Autism. Janice is hopeful that they see improvement, and the BCBA even uses BST to train the mother to implement interventions at home. Who in this scenario is the client?
Janice
Janice and the girl
The girl
Janice and the Girl
Which two types of behaviorism acknowledges the existence of mental events?
Methodological and radical behaviorism
A procedure in which behavior cannot be emitted simultaneously with the challenging behavior.
DRI
Which schedule of reinforcement typically has a graph with a scallop between occurrences of reinforcement?
Fixed interval
Which two compound schedules combines the number of responses and time?
Alternative and conjunctive
Monique is a BCBA and your colleague. While collaborating with Monique, she informs you that if behavior improvement is significant, data isn't necessary to indicate progress. What would be an appropriate response to Monique?
Explain to Monique that we are ethically required to collect data, collecting and monitoring data is essential to the care of clients, and/or bring up this concern to your supervisor
A BT presented a toy slightly before presenting a highly preferred toy, allowing for the overlap of both toys. Both toys now function as reinforcers. The toy that was a neutral stimulus now functions as a..
Conditioned reinforcer
What do DRO, DRA, and DRI all have in common? They all..
eliminate problem behavior
Variable interval
Which compound schedules DO NOT have a clear discriminative stimulus?
Mixed and tandem
You work with Ivka, who has recently had a change in behavior. Though she typically eats a sufficient amount of food, she recently started refusing to eat. Her parents are concerned and would like you to address this behavior. You have not seen data on this behavior, but the parents provided you with an estimate of how many meals she has missed. How should you proceed as the behavior analyst?
Recommend that Ivka be seen by a medical professional
This type of validity refers to the extent to which the changes made to the behavior were significant to the individual. The interventions used were humane and culturally accepted.
Social validity
A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for emitting behaviors that occur at or above a re-established rate.
DRH
This intermittent schedule of reinforcement provides reinforcement whenever the learner engages in a number of responses that vary from trial to trial, but average to the specific number of responses.
Variable ratio
This compound schedule of reinforcement provides reinforcement whenever the requirement of EITHER a ratio schedule or interval schedule is met.
Alternative schedule
Your client's parents don't believe they can implement an intervention you designed. What should you do?
Adjust the intervention based on the parent feedback
In behavior analytic experiments, this type of variable are those stimuli the researchers take into account and hold to a constant as to not interfere with the integrity of the study
Extraneous variables
