Measurement
A type of measurement expressed as count.
What is frequency?
What is attention?
An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communication behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evoked by an establishing operation.
What is functional communication training?
A motivating operation of not having access to a preferred reinforcer for a period of time, and the value of that reinforcer increases.
What is deprivation?
He is considered the "father of behavior analysis".
Who is B.F. Skinner?
A measure of the total extent of time in which a behavior occurs.
What is duration?
What's the function? Sam asks to play his video games. Mom says no, and Sam begins to engage in. tanrum behavior until Mom give Sam his video game. Mom gives Sam his video games.
What is access to tangible?
The sudden increase in a behavior once an identified reinforcer has been removed.
What is extinction burst?
A term popularized by Pryor (1999) for shaping behavior using conditioned reinforcement in the form of an auditory stimulus.
What is clicker training?
This researcher who passed away in 2023, revolutionized our understanding of the learned functions of severe problem behavior, such as self-injury and aggression, profoundly influencing theory, clinical practice, and public policy.
Who is Brian Iwata?
You count how many silverware sets were wrapped in a 20-minute time period to determine Pete's progress at Outback Steakhouse with silverware preparation. What type of recording are you using?
What is permanent product recording.
What's the function: Josh runs and hides when his teacher tells him to complete his work. His teacher ignores him until the next activity and the class moves on. Josh did not have to complete his work.
What is escape?
A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal (e.g. size, color), temporal (e.g. antecedent or consequent), and/or functional dimensions.
What is stimulus class?
The practice of ruling out simple, logical explanations, experimentally or conceptually, before considering more complex or abstract explanations.
What is parsimony?
This researcher is renowned for his Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment models.
Who is Greg Hanley?
The elapsed time between two successive responses.
What is interresponse time?
A process that identifies specific target behavior, the purpose of the behavior, and what factors maintain the behavior.
What is Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)?
A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior.
What is the Premack principle?
Refers to the extent to which target behaviors are appropriate, intervention procedures are acceptable, and important and significant changes in target and collateral behaviors are produced.
What is social validity?
This researcher first defined behaviorism in 1913.
Who is John B. Watson?
A time sampling method for measuring behvior in which the observation period is dividing into a series of brief time intervals. At the end of each interval, the observer recorder whether the target behavior occurred throughout the entire interval.
What is whole-interval recording?
An analysis on the purpose of problem behavior, wherein antecedents and consequences are arranged within an experimental design so that their effects on problem behavior can be observed and measured.
What is functional analysis?
An experiment designed to discover the differential effects of a range of values of an independent variable.
What is a parametric analysis?
The emergence of accurate responding to untrained and non reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus relations.
These researchers established the 7 dimensions of ABA.
Who are Baer, Wolf, & Risley?
