Reinforcement is given after a pre-determined time, irrespective of the occurrence of the behavior.
AKA: noncontingent reinforcement (51)
What is Fixed-Time Schedule
100
A developmental disability resulting in impaired social skills and communication deficits with restricted interests
What is autism
100
A teaching procedure in which one attempts to link various simple individual responses together to make one, longer complex behavior (30)
What is chaining
100
Conditioned reinforcers such as praise, money, privileges, or tokens. These stimuli are originally neutral, but acquire reinforcing properties through systematic pairing with primary reinforcers (14)
What are secondary reinforcers
100
Any action or series of actions that create a given response and may be observed and measured objectively (6)
What is behavior
200
A schedule of reinforcement in which every of the occurrence of a particular response is reinforced
What is continuous reinforcement AKA: CRF/FR-1
200
The application of the science of learning to socially significant human behavior (2)
What is Applied Behavior Analysis
200
A description of a behavior in terms of the antecedent, behavior, and consequence. AKA: A-B-C sequence (8)
What is three term contingency
200
When a pleasurable stimulus follows a response, and it leads to an increase in the future probability of that response (e.g., providing a token for a correct response) (9)
What is positive reinforcement
200
Withholding reinforcement contingent upon the occurrence of a response that was previously reinforced (48)
What is extinction
300
Data collection procedure: time is broken up into intervals and the observer records whether or not a target behavior occurred at least once during a given interval (54)
What is partial interval recording
300
A verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal SD and followed by a generalized conditioned reinforcer (e.g., a label)
What is a tact
300
A behavior analytic strategy in which isolated responses are taught to proficiency. A discriminative stimulus is presented, a prompt may be provided, and when a response occurs, either reinforcement or error correction is provided (27)
What is discrete trial teaching
300
A procedure in which reinforcement is applied to one member of a response class and not to other members (43)
What is differential reinforcement
300
Systematic and differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior (17)
What is behavioral shaping
400
Data collection procedure: time is broken in to intervals and the observer records whether or not a target behavior occurred during the entire interval (55)
What is whole interval recording
400
A verbal operant that is evoked by a verbal SD and is identical to the verbal SD
What is an echoic
400
A supplementary antecedent stimulus that when presented with a discriminative stimulus increases the probability of a response (18)
What is a prompt
400
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior for a specific period of time (e.g., reinforcing for not engaging in stereotypic vocals)
What is differential reinforcement of other behavior or DRO
400
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is typographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior or DRI
500
A data collection procedure: times is broken in to intervals and the observer records whether or not the target behavior was occurring at the end of the interval (56)
What is momentary time sampling
500
The phenomenon in which a given stimulus, previously paired with a particular response, evokes similar but different responses (36)
What is response generalization
500
A behavior analytic technique used to promote spontaneous language in natural settings. When the learner initiates for something, the instructor prompts an elaboration, and after the learner elaborates, the instructor provides the item/activity the learner initiated for (28)
What is incidental teaching
500
When an unpleasant stimulus is removed following a response and it leads to an increase in the future probability of that response (e,g., stopping an activity when a learner requests a break)
What is negative reinforcement
500
A reinforcement procedure that involves delivering reinforcement contingent upon the target behavior occurring below a predetermined rate (47)
What is differential reinforcement of low rates of responding or DRL
