Terms
instances where the learner does not respond to or stops responding to a reinforcer.
Habituation
Events that happen immediately or soon after a behavior occurs.
consequence
The number of occurrences of a behavior
count
Procedure in which one would identify a behavior that is incompatible with, or cannot occur at the same time as the problem behavior.
DRI
An increase in the frequency, duration, and/or intensity of the behavior as a result of the learner attempting to gain access to the reinforcer previously provided to the interfering behavior.
Extinction burst
A procedure used in applied behavior in which reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued.
Extinction
Reinforcement is immediately provided each time the learner uses the target skill.
Continuous schedule of reinforcement
number of behaviors per unit of time
rate/frequency
This strategy involves reinforcing all other behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
DRO
Aspects of the individuals experiences or surroundings such as noise, temperature, sleep schedules, light, etc.
Environmental Factors
(Confounding variable) ?
Implementation of the intervention strategy or intervention plan accurately and as designed.
Fidelity
The process of behaving one way in one situation and another way in a different situation as deemed appropriate by prevailing circumstances
Discriminate
Elapsed time between the onset of a stimulus and the initiation of a response
latency
DRA
A procedure used in applied behavior in which reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued.
extinction
A visual sequence that outlines tasks for an individual. An initial task, usually a less preferred, or non-preferred task is specified, and following completion of that task, usually a preferred task is presented for completion.
First-Then Sequence
the sequence of new response classes that emerge during the shaping process as the result of differential reinforcement; each response class is closer in form to the terminal behavior than the response class it replaces
Successive approximations
a measure of the total extent of time in which a behavior occurs
duration
Teaching procedures that limit learners' mistakes as they acquire new skills.
Errorless Learning/Teaching
Individuals repeat words or phrases that they have heard previously.
Delayed Echolalia
(Echoic) ?
reinforce a learner's use of an appropriate, alternative behavior while ignoring the interfering behavior.
Differential Reinforcement
A task that involves only one step (e.g., requesting more, identifying a letter, saying "Hello" to a friend).
the defined behavior in the exact instant that you're taking data.
Momentary time sampling
is a method of teaching in which the adult uses adult- directed, massed trial instruction, reinforcers chosen for their strength, and clear contingencies and repetition to teach new skills
DTT
In order for an item to be considered generalized, it must be across
different people, different settings and different stimuli
