100

When a client requests a desired item, this is called a _______.

Mand

100
Therapist reinforces holding a squishy ball to decrease client picking his/her nose. 

DRI (Differential Reinforcement of an Incompatible Bx) 

100

This is a structured method of teaching when a multiple trials of an SD are presented and a correct response is immediately reinforced or an incorrect response is immediately prompted and taught.

Discrete Trial Teaching

100

This is when every correct response delivered is reinforced immediately. 

Continuous Reinforcement

100

This is a type of data collected before and after a behavior occurs and helps us determine the function of a behavior. 

ABC Data

200
Client looks at a circle and says "circle."

Tact

200

Client mands for a break during a tantrum and therapist immediately reinforces by allowing the client a break from the task presented. 

DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Bx) 

200

This is a type of teaching that occurs in unstructured environments using contrived opportunities or teaching based on events that happen naturally. 

Naturalistic Teaching

200

Reinforcement is based on a specific number of correct responses.

Fixed Ratio

200

A client enters the room and the therapist observes what items the client gravitates towards, notating the interaction type and duration of interaction with identified items. 

Preference Assessment

300

Client A says "look it's a dog." Client B then says "look it's a dog."

Echoic

300

Client engages in throwing bx frequently. Therapist reinforces manding for a break, sitting nicely, doing work or any behavior other than throwing. 

DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Bx) 

300

This is the process of fading prompts from being what occasions a correct response. 

Stimulus Control Transfer

300

Reinforcement based on the presence of a desired response being delivered for a specific amount of time.

Fixed Interval

300
The four functions of behavior include: 

Attention, Escape, Automatic/Sensory and Tangible

400

Someone asks Jerry "what is your name?" and he responds with "Jerry."

Intraverbal

400

Client normally engages in spitting behavior 57 times per session. Client is reinforced if he engages in spitting less than 57 times per session. 

DRL (Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates of Bx) 

400

Reinforcing a client in the presence of an SD but not in the presence of an S Delta. 

Discrimination Training

400

Reinforcement is based on an average number of correct responses.

Variable Ratio

400

Client engages in kicking behavior at a higher rate than he typically does due to the reinforcement for the behavior being discontinued.

Extinction Burst

500

This is a type of training used to teach a mand or appropriate communication response in place of a maladaptive behavior. 

Functional Communication Training

500

Client only greets peers on average 3 times per session. If client greets peers more than 3 times per session he will gain access to reinforcement. 

DRH (Differential Reinforcement of Higher Rates of Bx) 

500

This is an AKA for naturalistic teaching.

"In Vivo" Teaching

500

Reinforcement based on the presence of a desired response for an average of 7 minutes.

Variable Interval

500

At circle time John is not sitting nicely. Ariel and Sammy are sitting nicely, so the leader reinforces Ariel and Sammy for sitting nicely. 

Pivotal Praise
