Generalization

What is an example of ratio strain?
Various answers:
Ex: Running an FR5 on accident during an error correction, when client is on an FR2
How many days does a RBT have to self-report to the BACB, about an event that occurred, which affects their ability to do their job effectively?
30 Days
Teaching one-word mands so that a client can one day learn two-word requests.
Pivotal Response Training (PRT)
Breaking skills into small steps and teaching one step at a time defines this procedure
Task Analysis
This word means that the schedule of reinforcement is subject to change each time
Variable
What are scrolling responses?

2. Automatic Reinforcement/ Sensory input
3. Escape
4. Tangible (Access)

Extinction
Reinforcers should involve this dimension so that clients will most likely perform the target behavior in the future

Why does ratio strain occur when reinforcement schedules thin out?

If the client begins to refuse tasks, it therefore prevents opportunities for teaching
What is required before any kind of restrictive or punishment-based procedure is ever implemented with a client?

Sampling a behavior at intervals instead of every instance is an example of what?
Discontinuous measurement (procedure)
This intervention teaches new, appropriate skills to replace challenging ones.

This client is working on listener responding and manding skills. The client received verbal praise after requesting to "go". Then their favorite toy after imitating three gross motor skills. And then their favorite song after imitating a thumbs up and a high five. What schedule of reinforcement is the client on?
Variable ratio schedule of reinforcement
What may indicate high rates of maladaptive behavior?
Identifying an increase in behaviors compared to previous sessions
