What's going on here?
This type of assessment identifies contingencies that may maintain problem behaviors.
What is a Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA)?
This type of behavior develops through direct contact with reinforcement and punishment contingencies.
What is contingency-shaped behavior?
This term refers to the degree to which goals, procedures and outcomes are important to clients and stakeholders.
What is social validity?
This term refers to interventions supported by multiple high-quality research studies demonstrating effectiveness.
What is an Evidence Based Practice or EBP?
This measurement system records the number of times a behavior occurs.
What is frequency?
A stimulus that signals reinforcement is available for specific behavior is called this.
This type of reinforcement involves adding a stimulus following a behavior to increase its future liklihood.
What is positive reinforcement
This preference assessment involves presenting two stimuli at a time and recording which item the learner selects.
What is a Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment?
Following a statement such as "raise your hand before speaking" is an example of this type of behavior.
What is rule-governed behavior?
When a behavior is influenced by more than one variable at the same time, it is said to be under this.
What is multiple control?
What is single-subject design?
If you wanted to monitor the length of tantrums a student emits during math class, you would probably select this measurement system.
What is duration?
When a behavior occurs in the presence of one stimulus but not another due to reinforcement history this has occurred.
What is stimulus discrimination?
Removing an aversive stimulus following a behavior to increase the behavior is called this.
Negative reinforcement.
In this preference assessment, multiple items are presented simultaneously and the learner can select one item per trial. After the learner selects an item, during the next trial that item is not given as a choice again.
What is Multiple Stimulus WITHOUT replacement (MSWO)?
A student learns not to touch a hot stove after being burned once. This is an example of this type of learning.
In ABA goals should focus on behaviors that improve this aspect of the individuals daily functioning (Hint: "Applied")
What is quality of life? (also will accept anything regarding functional life skills that support independence, happiness, etc.)
True or False: If an intervention is evidence-based means it will work for all students.
FALSE
Albus is taking too long to get started on his work after his teacher gives the class the directions for their daily assignment. His teacher should consider using this measurement system to monitor his progress on getting started on his work more quickly following directions.
What is latency?
When a behavior occurs in the presence of a stimuli similar to the original SD, this is occurring.
What is stimulus generalization?
FALSE - the "negative" does not mean punitive in ABA
This type of functional assessment involves systematically manipulating antecedents and consequences to determine the function of a behavior.
What is a functional analysis assessment? (FAA or FA)
A behavior that occurs because a person was told what will happen if they behave in a certain way is called this.
What is rule-governed behavior?
Teaching functional communication to replace problem behavior is an example of targeting this type of socially meaningful skill.
What is Verbal Behavior?
Functions of behaviors matter when selecting interventions. If you have a learner who is engaging in attention seeking behavior, what should you teach them to do?
To use a socially acceptable behavior to request attention or to get the attention of teachers, peers or others.
Recording whether or not a behavior occurs during specific time intervals is called this.
What is interval recording or time sampling?
A teacher wants to get a student to do something they are not likely to do, so she first delivers several rapid instructions that are easy for the student to follow and then suddenly gives the more difficult direction. The strategy she is using is called this.
The phrase "behavior goes where reinforcement flows" refers to what behavioral concept
Matching Law
This indirect assessment method gathers information from caregivers or staff about behaviors but does not involve direct observation of the student.
What is an indirect assessment/interview/questionnaire?
This type of learning occurs when a learner is not directly taught and or reinforced for using a behavior, but when they see someone else learning and being reinforced they learn the behavior also.
What is observational learning?
This is the phrase a behavior analyst might use when discussing cost benefit considerations of an intervention, how long it would take a learner to learn something new and how the considered intervention fits into the operational structure of their ABA company.
What is efficiency?
When a student engages in self-stimulatory or automatically reinforcing behaviors during break times that interfere with their own learning or engagement or the learning of others, you may want to consider teaching this.
What are functional leisure skills.
This measurement system calculates responses per a given unit of time.
What is rate?
When a new behavior emerges that serve the same function as another behavior an individual uses (such as waving or saying "hello" instead of "hi") it is called
Response generalization
The differential reinforcement procedures reinforces and alternative appropriate behavior while withholding reinforcement for problem behavior.
What is a DRA (Differential reinforcement of Alternative Behavior)
