When you record behaviors or responses during a set interval of time, but not the entire session.

The RBT measures the time between the SD "touch cat" and the patient touching the picture of a cat. What type of measurement are they using? 

Latency

The patient has stopped tantruming, and the technician starts a timer. The technician stops the timer when the patient begins to tantrum again. What type of measurement procedure is used? 

IRT

List and describe the 3 types of Discontinuous measurement. 

Partial Interval: behavior occurs at any point during the interval

Whole Interval: behavior occurs the entire interval

Momentary time sampling: behavior occurs at the end of the session

Reinforcement

100

What type of reinforcement involves adding stimuli to the environment to increase the future frequency of the behavior? 

Positive Reinforcement

200

What type of reinforcement involves removing a stimuli in order to increase the future frequency of a behavior? 

Negative Reinforcement

Extinction Burst 

a predictable, temporary increase in the intesisty of a behavior during extinction

Stimulus Control Transfer

Transferring the control of one response from one stimulus to another.

Tx uses full physical prompting for every step in handwash except for throwing away the paper towel. The patient independently throws away the paper towel. What type of procedure is being implemented?

You display 4 of your patients highest reinforces out in front of them. They pick one item and allow them to play with it for a few minutes. You then display the items again, but without the reinforcer that your client chose. You continue this process until all of the reinforcers are chosen. What time of assessment did you implement? 

Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement
