What's your Function?
The four functions of behavior
sensory, escape, attention, tangible
This term refers to the increased probability of future behavior occurring again.
reinforcement
I am using tally marks to count the total occurrences of a behavior of interest. I am likely using what.
Frequency count
An antecedent strategy is designed to ________ interfering behaviors.
prevent
The behavior that we teach and is meant to replace the interfering behavior
replacement behavior
The (blank), or physical form of behavior, should not be what a function-based intervention is based off of.
topography
You add a stimulus to increase future probabilty of behavior.
positive reinforcement
L.E.N.S. stands for this.
label, example, non-example, and see if it works!
A high-P request sequence ends with this type of request
Low-probability
The planned withholding of reinforcement from a previously reinforced behavior
extinction
extinction
A stimulus is removed, which increases the probability of the behavior that resulted in its removal.
negative reinforcement
These data are collected through a series of direct observations, where the observer collects information on what happens before and after interfering behavior occurs.
ABC data
This type of trial-based preference assessment involves presenting pairs of stimuli that may operate as reinforcers
Paired Stimulus preference assessment
An increase in the magnitude, intensity, or severity of interfering behavior following extinction
extinction burst
functionally equivalent
human behavior is typically resistant to this.
punishment
The amount of time between two responses.
Inter-response time
This signals that reinforecement is available.
discriminative stimulus
This differential reinforcement procedure involves reinforcing a different behavior that could technically co-occur with interfering behavior
An extinction burst will indicate that the _______ of the behavior has been correctly identified when implementing extinction.
function
A baby will scream unless she is being held. The parent holds their baby to escape the screaming. They will likely just commit to holding the baby so they don't have to listen to their screaming. The parents behavior is likely maintained by what?
what is negative reinforcement
When collecting data via momentary time-sampling, you look up at the ___ of an interval to determine if a behavior of interest occurred or not.
end
When implementing this antecedent strategy, you are providing access to reinforcement based on a passage of time, NOT the occurrence of a desirable behavior.
non-contingent reinforcement
A student raises their hand too often. The teacher would like to reduce the amount of hand-raising that occurs. They would implement this DR procedure.
DRL
