Reinforcement or Punshiment
Sue gets a treat every time she finishes a worksheet, she is now turning in more worksheets. This is an example of
Positive Reinforcement
The four functions of behavior
Sensory, Escape, Attention, Tangible/Access
What does ABC stand for?
Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence
measures the number of times someone engages in a specific behavior without considering a time interval.
What is frequency data?
A supplemental cue given before or during a learners response that it makes it more likely for a correct response.
What is a prompt
Janet gets a ticket for speeding, and now she drives much slower. This is an example of
Positive punishment
This is most likely function when the most common antecedent involves the student sitting a lone or others being distracted
What is attention
A complex task, broken down into small steps
What is a task analysis
measures the number of times someone engages in a specific behavior and considers a time interval.
What is rate
Anything a person does or says
What is behavior
Gearry complains whenever it's his turn to wash the dishes, Gearry is asked to wash dishes less often. He continues to complain. This is an example of
Negative Reinforcement
This is the most likely function when the most common consequence is a reprimand is given
What is attention
A specific method of instruction where one attempts to teach a task by teaching the last step first and working through a task analysis in reverse.
Backwards chaining
Measures the amount of time that behavior is observed happening
What is Duration
something that can happen long before challenging behavior begins that sets the stage for whether that behavior is more or less likely to occur. Whether it’s hunger, fatigue, or stress, these circumstances create an environment that sets the tone for certain behaviors to emerge.
What is a Setting Event
With reinforcement the behavior
What is increases
When the most common antecedent is task demand given
What is escape
To cease reinforcing a previously reinforced behavior to decrease the behavior’s frequency.
Extinction
A type of discontinuous data where you mark it correct if the behavior during the entire time
What is Whole interval Recording
A behavior is no longer being reinforce and it increases before going down
What is an extinction burst
When something is consider positive (positive reinforcement, positive punishment) something was
added
When the most common consequence is "gains access to an item"
Tangible
This term refers to gradually removing any prompts one has introduced into a teaching situation.
What is prompt fading?
This method involves recording whether the behavior is occurring at the exact moment when each predetermined interval ends. It is useful when the person responsible for recording data has many other responsibilities.
What is Momentary Time Sampling
The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior.
What is ABA?
