ASD
Examples of this behavior include lining up toys or flipping objects, echolalia, and idiosyncratic phrases
Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements,
This is the core principle of ABA
Desirable consequences will increase behavior whereas undesirable consequences will decrease behavior
A specific opportunity is presented and a specific response from the learner is expected. A consequence follows the learner's response. Taught until mastery, therapist directed.
What is Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
A clear, concise, accurate statement that specifies the exact details of an observable bx.
What is Operational Definition
Measuring the length of time a bx occurs from onset to offset
What is Duration
The current prevalence rates of ASD (as of 2018)
1 in 59
A procedure by which a bx that was previously reinforced no longer receives reinforcement and the probability of the bx decreases.
What is Extinction
When a highly preferred activity can be used to reinforce a low preferred activity
HINT: First ____, then ______.
What is the Premack Principle
Activities that are designed to alter the environment before the bx occurs.
What are Antecedent Modifications
Time that occurs between the SD and the response. You record this the goal is to decrease the time between SD and response.
What is Latency
Deficits in this area, ranging, for example, from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions.
Social-emotional reciprocity
An environmental variable that alters the effectiveness of some stimulus, object or event.
What is a Motivation Operation (MO)?
Taking an existing skill and increasing accuracy and speed of skills performance in order to develop competence. Combination of accuracy and speed are important.
What is Fluency-Based Training
These two functions of behavior are considered social positive.
What are attention and access to tangible
Measures reliability that two people agreed on on a bx that they observed, measure, and recorded. Should be incorporated regularly.
What is Interobserver Agreement (IOA)
Examples of this behavior include apparent indifference to pain/temperature, adverse response to specific sounds or textures, excessive smelling or touching of objects, visual fascination with lights or movement
Hyper-reactivity or hypo-reactivity to sensory input
This is commonly known as Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence or ABC's
What is the 3-Term Contingency?
A systematic reduction of any additional stimulus used to assist the client in responding correctly.
What is Prompt Fading
A sharp increase in the frequency of a bx that has recently been placed on extinction, planned ignoring.
What is Extinction Burst
A measurement procedure which records if bx occurred at very end of the specific time interval. Commonly used when observer is unable to attend to bx of individual during the entire observation.
What is Momentary Time Sampling
These are the two areas that are used by the DSM-5 to determine severity of ASD
What are social communication impairments and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior.
The tendency for the target bx to occur in the presence of the SD but not in the absence of the SD.
What is stimulus control
This is a verbal operant that is controlled by a verbal antecedent and does not match the verbal antecedent. The consequence for the bx is nonspecific. This is the most common verbal operant.
What is an Intraverbal
After a bx has been extinguished or reduced for a period of time an increase in the magnitude of the bx occurs.
What is Spontaneous Recovery
A schedule of reinforcement after an average amount of time has passed. For example, after 55, 60 or 65 minutes.
Variable Interval Schedule
