Terms
This is the elapsed time from the onset of the SD to the initiation of the response.
Response Latency
The term refers to the activity of living organisms that is external or internal observable.
Behavior
Most to least. easier to fade prompts this way
What is prompt hierarchy?
What are the functions of behavior?
Attention, escape, tangible, sensory (automatic)
How many years should ABA personnel keep documentation?
A stimulus whose termination functions as reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
Consequences result in as increased or decreased frequency of the same type of behavior under similar motivational and environmental conditions in the future
Operant Conditioning
Making the opportunity to engage in high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of low-frequency behavior.
Child throws ABA materials on the ground and is no longer required to complete the task that was presented to him or her. Child learns that throwing materials on the ground will get him or her out of having to do the work.
Escape
Interobserver Agreement (IOA)
Schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of variable duration of time occurring random time.
Variable Interval
Target goals that are specific to patient to improve quality of life
Applied
Procedure by which you immediately prompt the correct response after giving the SD so as to not allow the student to make a mistake.
Errorless Teaching
Child scratches his skin because of eczema or bug-bites to relieve itching.
Procedure in which stimuli with known reinforcing properties are presented on FT or FT schedules completely independent of the behavior
Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR)
A system where participants earn generalized conditioned reinforcers.
Token Economy
An educational tool to measure the basic linguistic and functional skills of an individual with developmental delays or disabilities.
ABLLS
This strategy involves repeatedly using the same SD several times in a row and is used to introduce new times and/or work on trouble items
Mass trials
Attention, and Escape
How many CEU's are required to maintain BCBA credentials?
32 hours
Learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior
Response Generalization
What are the 7 dimensions of ABA?
Generality
Effective
Technological
Applied
Conceptually Systematic
Analytic
Behavioral
List 5 ABA teaching strategies
Naturalistic Teaching
Discrete Trial Teaching
Token Economy
Pivotal Response Therapy
Contingent Observation
During a DTT session, the child engages in humming when reinforcer is taken away.
