A form of direct, continuous observation in which the observer records a descriptive, sequenced account of all behavior of interest and the antecedent conditions and consequences of those events as they occur in their natural environment
What is an ABC?
100
A condition of an experiment in which the independent variable is not present
What is baseline?
100
The contingent presentation of a stimulus immediately following a response, which decreases the probability of the response in the future
What is punishment?
100
The independent variable is withdrawn and then reapplied in an effort to demonstrate a functional relationship between the IV and DV.
What is ABAB design?
200
Reinforcing a response that is topographically incompatible with a behavior targeted for reduction
What is DRI?
200
A ratio of count per observation time
What is frequency?
200
What the experimenter or educator manipulates in order to change a behavior.
What is independent variable?
200
A condition that occurs when there is no longer a state of deprivation
What is satiation?
200
Involves successively changing the criterion for reinforcement.
What is changing criteria design?
300
Delivering reinforcement when the number of responses in a specified period of time is less than or equal to a prescribed limit
What is DRL?
300
The total extent of time in which a behavior occurs.
What is duration?
300
The behavior being changed through intervention.
What is a dependent variable?
300
Systematically decreasing the schedule of reinforcement.
What is thinning?
300
Functional relations may be demonstrated as changes in the dependent variables that occur with the systematic and sequenced introduction .of the independent variable across students, behaviors, or settings
What is multiple baseline design?
400
An antecedent that serves a an appropriate cue for occasioning a response and therefore results in reinforcement is the discriminative stimulus.
What is Sd?
400
The elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus to the initiation of a response
What is latency?
400
The contingent presentation of a stimulus immediately following a response, that increases the probability of the response in the future.
What is Sr+ , Positive Reinforcement?
400
An added stimulus that increases the probability that the Sd will occasion the desired response.
What is a prompt? Name a type.
400
The design allows comparison of the effectiveness of two or more treatments that can be randomly applied.
What is alternating treatments design?
500
A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for each occurrence of the target behavior.
What is CRF?
500
The presence or absence of behaviors are recorded at precisely specified time intervals.
What is momentary time sampling?
500
The contingent removal of an aversive stimulus immediately following a response.
What is Negative Reinforcement? It increases the probability that the behavior will occur in the future.
500
Withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior in an effort to reduce the behavior.
What is Extinction?
500
A design that involves successively changing the conditions for response performance in order to evaluate comparative effects?
