+ or - & SR or SP
A child asks for a cookie politely and is given a cookie, in the future the child always asks for a cookie politely
What is + reinforcement
This strategy involves differential reinforcments of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping
The number of occurrences of a behaviour
What is count/frequency
A mother goes to the store and her child cries for a toy so she buys it. What is the function of crying
What is access to tangibles
The science in which tactics are derived from the principles of behaviour are applied to improve socially significant behaviour and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behaviour.
What is applied behavior analysis
I have a headache and took and advil, my headache went away and now I always take advil when I get a headache
What is - reinforcement
This strategy involves reinforcing all behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors
Number of behaviors per unit of time
What is Rate
Jack touches Susie's arm. Susie smacks Jack. Jack moves his arm away. This could be the function of Susie smacking Jack.
What is escape/avoidance
A system whereby participants earn generalized conditioned reinforcers to exchange them from a menu of backup reinforcers
What is token economy
A child is given an additional chore after failing to eat all of his dinner. He ate all of his dinner the next night.
What is + punishment
A student is reinforced on average of 5 responses
What is variable ratio schedule (VR-5)
Elapsed time between the onset of a stimulus (or instruction) and the initiation of a response
What is response latency
Every time Liam sneezed I said bless you which he enjoys. Liam would then pretend to sneeze several times in a row. Eventually I stop saying bless you to Liam and he stops fake sneezing. What is this concept called?
What is extinction
Breaking complex skills or a series of behaviours into smaller teachable units.
What is a task analysis
A child was hitting his brother, his mother took away all of his toys and he never hit his brother again
What is - punishment
When a client can perform a learned skill in the clinic but now can do it in the home and at Publix
What is generalization
the amount of time a behaviour occurs
What is duration
A woman has a 4 year old child and a newborn. When the mother holds her newborn, the 4 year old always starts screaming. The woman always starts talking to the 4 year old after he screams. This could be the function of the screaming.
What is attention (positive social interaction)
This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst
Overcorrection
What is + punishment
Grandma's law (first...then...) is also known as this antecedent strategy.
What is Premack Principle
The time between two responses given by a learner
What is interresponse time
Reappearance of a conditioned response that was previously extinguished.
What is spontaneous recovery
A time sampling method for measuring behaviour in which the observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals. The observer records whether the target behaviour occurred throughout the entire interval
What is whole interval recording
