Parts of a BIP
What are antecedent modifications?
Strategies to use before the problem behavior occurs.
What is a fixed schedule of reinforcement?
What is a fixed schedule schedule of reinforcement?
You provide reinforcement at a set time/number.
What is reinforcement?
A stimuli that increases behavior
What is CARD's RTO Policy? And how far in advance can you take an RTO?
-Find your own coverage
-2 weeks
What is the mobile device policy?
-No electronics/phones on therapist while with clients, or on the floor
What are consequences?
What happens after the challenging behavior occurs.
What is a variable measure of reinforcement?
You provide reinforcement that varies but occurs an average amount
What is positive reinforcement?
Adding a desired stimuli to increase behavior
What is the protocol when staff is injured during session?
-Call nurses hotline
-Fill out an employee incident report
Bonus(100): Where to find reports?
What is CARD's after hours policy for cancellations?
-Therapist call parents before 8am or after 5pm and weekends.
What are replacement behaviors?
Functional equivalent behaviors the client should do instead
What is Ratio?
Every number of trials or occurrence
What is negative reinforcement?
Removing an aversive stimuli to increase behavior
What is demand fading? Give an example
•Definition
–Involves the removal or reducing instructions or aversive tasks, followed by their gradual reintroduction
•Example
–A teen with high rates of aggression starts services - you begin just by hanging out and building rapport. No “work” is required. When aggression is near zero then you begin doing 1 short task/lesson then gradually increasing and fading demands in.
What is Task Modification?Give an Example
•Definition
–Changing an aspect of the task so it is less aversive
•Example
–If working on the describe lesson – describing Star Wars characters for a client who likes star wars
–Math – when working on story problems who loves Minecraft make the story problem about characters from the game.
•E.g. – Steve has 7 gems and then a zombie takes 3 away – how many does Steve have left?
What are the functions of behavior?
Sensory
Escape
Attention
Tangible
What is am interval?
Measurement over a period of time
What is the difference between Fixed Ratio (FR) and Variable Ratio (VR)?
FR- Reinforce on a set schedule
Exp) FR2- Reinforce after every 2 trials
VR- Reinforce an average amount of trials
Exp) VR3- Reinforce 1st trail, then after 3 trials reinforce, and reinforce after 2 trials
What is Behavior Momentum? Give an example
•Definition –
–The use of a series of high-probability requests to increase compliance with lower-probability requests.
–Doing several easy requests before presenting a more difficult request.
–This is also referred to as a high probability request sequence
•Example –
–A client comes to sit at the table for the functions lesson. “Sit down. Give me five. Up high. Cool, who’s on your shirt? Yeah! What color is Darth Vadar? What do you do with a shirt?”
What is Non-Contingent Reinforcement? Give an example
•Definition
–Giving the client access to a reinforcer frequently enough that they are no longer motivated to exhibit problem behavior to obtain that same reinforcer
–The idea is if they get it for free – they don’t have to engage in problem behaviors to access that reinforcer.
•Example
–Giving a client who engages in attention seeking problem behavior positive attention every 30 regardless of her behavior.
Explain each of the functions of behavior
Sensory/automatic
-Self reinforcing, no social aspect
Escape
- Leaving unpreferred task/activity, social aspect
Attention
-Wanting others reaction, social aspect
Tangible
-Wanting a preferred item/activity, social aspect
What is Rate?
Measurement of occurrence/time
What is the difference between Fixed Interval (FI) and Variable Interval (VI)?
FI- Set time to give reinforcement
exp) FI-1 min, give reinforcement after every 1 minute
VI- An average time to give reinforcement
exp) VI-10, reinforce an average of every 10 minutes
What is Functional Communication Training? Give an example
•Definition
–Teaching or prompting clients to engage in an alternative response that results in the same class of reinforcement identified as maintaining problem behavior.
•Example
–Having a break card on the table and pointing to it after the second trial and saying “If you want a break you can ask.”
What is an Activity Schedule? Give an example
•Definition
–A visual schedule that helps clients learn and follow their routines and daily schedule. This is often used with graduated prompt fading to increase independence.
•Example
–The therapist and client make 5 step picture schedule showing the lunch routine and the child is able to pick a reinforcing activity that will follow lunch
