Philosophy
All behavior, including private events, should be studied.
What is Radical Behaviorism?
Adding a stimulus to increase behavior
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Count of behavior occurrences.
What is Frequency?
Instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback.
What are the steps of BST?
ABA’s stance on thoughts and feelings.
They are behaviors and should be studied.
Use the simplest explanation first.
What is Parsimony?
Withholding reinforcement leads to decreased behavior.
What is Extinction?
Consistency between observers.
What is Interobserver Agreement (IOA)?
Clear expectations and procedures.
What is Task Clarification?
What does MO stand for?
Motivating Operation
Behavior is determined by cause and effect.
What is Determinism?
Removing a stimulus to decrease behavior.
What is Negative Punishment?
Frequency divided by time.
What is Rate?
Immediate, specific, goal-driven feedback.
What is Performance Feedback?
Reinforcement not mediated by others.
What is Automatic Reinforcement?
Knowledge gained through observation and measurement.
What is Empiricism?
Adding a stimulus to decrease behavior.
What is Positive Punishment?
Time from instruction to behavior.
What is Latency?
Rewards for meeting performance goals.
What are Reinforcement Systems?
Light turning green signals behavior.
What is a Discriminative Stimulus?
Behavior evolves and is maintained by consequences.
What is Selectionism?
Compare what reinforcement and punishment do.
Reinforcement increases behavior; punishment decreases it.
Whole = full interval; Partial = any time in interval.
When would you use partial vs. whole interval recording?
Supervise ethically and maintain competency.
What is an ethical supervision practice?
Elements of a line graph.
What are trend, level, and variability?
