BRP

What is behavior reduction plan

100

This term refers to the activity of living organisms that is observable

What is behavior

100

Positive reinfocement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______ the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.

What is presentation, increases

100

This strategy involves differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.

What is shaping

100

This is best classified as a request

What is a mand

200

This term is referred to as an FBA

What is What is a Functional Behavior Assessment

200

This is when the child is still learning a certain response. The response is being reinforced, and prompted if necessary but is not yet mastered.

What is acquisition skill

200

Positive punishment occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is presentation, decreases

200

This strategy involves reinforcing all other behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.

What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)

200

Teacher: "Twinkle twinkle little" Child: "star" This is an example of

What is an intraverbal

300

This term is referred to as FCT

What is functional communication training

300

This is the process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the result of this process.

What is task analysis

300

Negative reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is removal, increases

300

This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.

What is extinction

300

This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented

What is an extinction burst

400

This is commonly referred to as “ABC”

What is Antecedent Behavior Consequence

400

A system whereby clients earn generalized conditioned reinforcers as an immediate consequence for specific behaviors.  These tokens can be accumulated and exchanged for backup reinforcers.

What is token economy

400

Negative punishment occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions

What is removal, decreases

400

This strategy involves following error correction with an opportunity for an independent response

What is transfer trial

400

These are the four functions of behavior

What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement

500

S-R-C refers to this three word term

What is stimulus--response--consequence

500

These are the verbal operants of the speaker

What is mand, tact, intraverbal and echoic

500

This is only reinforcing those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension (i.e., frequency, topography, duration, latency, magnitude) and placing all other responses in the class of extinction

What is differential reinforcement

500

This procedure is used to transfer reinforcing properties to a neutral stimulus 

What is pairing

500

In order for an item to be considered generalized, it must be across

What is different people, different settings and different stimuli
