100

What is the stimulus that occur right before the behavior

Antecedent

100

What is an indirect method of a functional assessment that does not involve direct observation of the person. Instead it involves structured and or unstructured interviews used to identify possible A and C related to the target behavior. 

Indirect Assessment

100

What is a stimulus change that temporarily increases the value of stimulus and evokes all behavior that in the past produced that stimulus?

Establishing Operation

100

What is a stimulus change that neither evokes nor elicits a response?

Neutral Stimulus

200

What is the stimulus change that occurs right after the behavior?

Consequence

200

What is a direct method of a functional assessment that involves observation and data collection. The data is analyzed for patterns to determine functions.

Descriptive Assessment

200

What is a stimulus change that temporarily decreases the value of a stimulus and decreases the probability of a behavior occurring that in the past produced that stimulus?

Abolishing Operation

200

What is the process by which reinforcement is withheld for a response under certain stimulus condition and delivered for response under other stimulus conditions?

Differential Reinforcement

300

What is anything a person or organism says or does

Behavior

300

What is a systematic process to determine the function(s) of a behavior

Functional Assessment

300

What is a stimulus change in the environment that temporarily alters the reinforcing properties of a stimulus?

Motivating operations

300

What is a stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement due to a prior history in which a behavior was emitted in its presence and reinforcement was delivered?

Discriminative stimulus

400

What is the method of describing behavior in terms of what happens before (A) during (B) and after (C). Also known as the ABC model

Three term contingency

400

What is a direct method of functional assessment that involves systematic manipulation of antecedents and consequences and measurement of a target behavior in order to determine its function?
