Principles of Behavior
This is the process by which a behavior is strengthened by the immediate consequence that reliably follows it.
What is reinforcement?
This is a written plan designed to teach replacement behaviors and reduce challenging ones.
What is a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)?
This is a method of teaching that breaks a skill into smaller, teachable components.
What is task analysis?
This is the type of data that records how long a behavior occurs.
What is duration data?
This procedure involves systematically increasing or decreasing reinforcement to shape behavior.
What is shaping?
This principle occurs when a previously reinforced behavior decreases because reinforcement is no longer provided.
What is extinction?
This is the process of identifying the purpose of a behavior through observation and data collection.
What is a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)?
This teaching strategy involves prompting the correct response and fading the prompts over time.
What is least-to-most prompting?
This is the percentage of intervals in which a behavior occurs during a set time period.
What is partial interval recording?
This behavior reduction strategy involves teaching alternative ways to achieve the same function as the problem behavior.
What is Functional Communication Training (FCT)?
This type of reinforcement strengthens behavior by removing an aversive stimulus.
What is negative reinforcement?
his proactive strategy involves manipulating the environment to reduce the likelihood of problem behavior.
What is antecedent intervention?
This term refers to behaviors that are socially significant and likely to result in increased access to reinforcement.
What are pivotal behaviors?
This is the type of data that measures the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the response.
What is latency?
This is a stimulus presented to make a correct response more likely.
What is a prompt?
This occurs when a stimulus change immediately follows a behavior and decreases the future frequency of that behavior.
What is punishment?
This consequence strategy involves providing reinforcement for any behavior other than the problem behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)?
his teaching method uses naturally occurring situations and reinforcement to teach new skills.
What is Natural Environment Training (NET)?
This type of recording only notes if the behavior occurs at the end of the interval.
What is momentary time sampling?
This type of reinforcement schedule provides reinforcement after a set number of responses.
What is a fixed ratio schedule?
This is the three-term contingency commonly used in ABA.
What is the ABC model (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence)?
This is when a behavior increases because it results in the removal of an aversive condition.
What is escape-maintained behavior?
This is the procedure for teaching a chain of behaviors by starting with the first step.
What is forward chaining?
This type of data measures the number of times a behavior occurs within a specific time period.
What is frequency data?
This is the process of gradually transferring control from a prompt to the natural stimulus.
What is stimulus fading?
