ABA Jeopardy

Functions of Behaviour

100

The four functions of behaviour.

Escape, tangible, attention, automatic (sensory)

200

An example of this type of behaviour function would be a child throwing their broccoli on the floor to avoid having to eat their vegetables.

Escape

300

This function of behaviour would describe the following: The learner engages in self-injurious behaviour and flopping every time that their favorite toy is relinquished.

Tangible

400

An example of this function of behaviour would be a child screaming and flopping to the floor, while making consistent eye contact with the teacher. 

Attention

500

This function of behaviour would be used to describe the following: A child continues to hit against their head with a closed fist. When they are presented with a task, they will still comply and they appropriately ask for what they would like. The therapist consistently engages with them and provides them with attention.

Automatic (sensory)

ABCs of ABA

100

Consequences that increase the probability of a behaviour occurring again.

Reinforcement

200

The ability for a student to perform a skill under different conditions/environments, and/or the ability to apply a skill in a different way.

Generalization

300

A procedure used in Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) in which reinforcement that is provided for challenging behaviour (often unintentionally) is discontinued in order to decrease or eliminate occurrences of these types of behaviours.

Extinction

400

A technique used in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to help form and maintain rapport with a child by combining the learning environment and the instructor with already established reinforcers (items that are rewarding).

Pairing

500

The ability of a child to demonstrate previously acquired skills over time.

Maintenance

Data Collection

100

A count of the number of times a behaviour occurred.

Frequency data

200

An account of how long a student may engage in a behaviour.

Duration

300

This type of data collection only requires data to be entered for the first response that the learner makes; determining how the skill will be taught for the remainder of the session.

Probe data

400

A measure in which one calculates the number of correct responses over a number of opportunities.

Percentage data

500

A three term contingency that collects data on the context of a behavioural event; describing events that occur before and after a behavior you want to learn more about.  

"ABC" data

Intervention

100

Using the child's current interests and activities to guide instruction.

Naturalistic Teaching (NDBI)

200

Name this type of teaching: 

1.) An initial instruction 

2.) A prompt or cue given by the teacher to help the child respond correctly

3.) A response given by the child

4.) An appropriate consequence

5.) A pause between consecutive trials

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

300

Uses stickers, check marks or points that act as symbols to reinforce positive behaviours. Once the predetermined amount of “symbols” are collected, the child can gain access to an item or an activity.

Token board procedure

400

This intervention aims to replace challenging behaviour with new ways of communicating that achieve the same thing. The therapy might focus on verbal communication, signing, pictures or speech generating devices.

Functional Communication Training.

500

Reinforcing the presence of an alternative replacement behavior while withholding reinforcement in the presence of the target behavior.

DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviours).
