What is negative punishment?
A set of behaviors that look different (have different topographies) but all serve the same purpose for the individual or have the same effect on the environment.
What is response class?
First step in a functional analysis
Interviews/ questionnaires

Poor client outcomes, poor performance, unhappy staff
The intervention / procedure being applied to a behavior is the...
What is independent variable?
Providing a checkmark on a white board for every other correct response is an example of...
What is a token economy?
A group of stimuli that are similar along one or more dimensions (for example, they look or sound similar, they have a common effect on behavior, or they occur at similar times relative to the response).
What is stimulus class?
Name some methods to identify meaningful, socially significant goals.
What are meeting with parents to discuss priorities, skills-based assessments, assess environmental variables preventing learner from accessing less restrictive environment?
What is an evidence based, highly recommended method of training staff in program implementation?
What is BST?
The target behavior(s)
What is dependent variable?
When would a backward chain be appropriate?
When teaching a brand new skill in which the end result may function as a reinforcer.
Aubrey receives tickles about every third time she says a new word.
What is variable ratio schedule?
What would you gather from the following FA graph?
Target behavior is maintained by access to tangibles and escape from demands.
What is one way to evaluate the effects of your supervision?
treatment integrity data, staff satisfaction surveys/questionnaires, data collection of individual supervisee goals, etc.
Name 2 types of single subject design
multiple baseline, reversal, changing criterion, alternating tx, multielement,
Which type of group contingency is in place?
If the entire basketball team makes all of their layups during practice, the coach will buy them pizza.
What is interdependent group contingency?
The effect that is liekly in place in the following scenario:
Joshua uses Bingo daubers and crayons for 10 minutes in the session room. Then, when assessing coloring as a reinforcer in a structured reinforcer assessment, rates of responding are relatively low.
What is abative effect?
Name 4 assessments of any type.
preference, reinforcer, punisher, functional analysis, indirect (interviews), ABC data, VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, etc.
What is the recommended ratio for positive to corrective feedback?
4:1
Systematically pulling out parts of an intervention
What is component analysis?
Define and provide examples for stimulus generalization AND response generalization.
Stimulus generalization - a stimulus similar to the one that was taught evokes the same response (ex: seeing a german shepard and a lab, saying "dog" for both)
Response generalization - same stimulus evokes multiple different topographies of a response (ex: waving, saying "hey" when a peer says "hi")
Define and provide an example of stimulus equivalence.
A=B, B=C, C=A
An emergent, untrained relationship that is produced when two other stimulus-stimulus relationships have been trained.
What does IISCA stand for? Describe the difference between an IISCA and standard FA.
Interview informed synthesized contingency analysis.
IISCA involves designing ONE test condition based on the synthesized reinforcers identified via interview while standard FA tests contingency conditions separately.
What are 3 primary components of supervising direct care staff?
performance monitoring, feedback, reinforcement systems.
Name 2 benefits of single subject design
