Concepts and
Principles
Principles
This differential reinforcement procedure involves delivering reinforcement in the absence of challenging behavior
DRO
This technique involves the removal of a reinforcing stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior reoccurring
Extinction
When Bob started recording Jim's nail biting, Jim's nail biting started to decrease as a result of the recording. What is this phenomenon called?
Reactivity
This document outlines the goals, objectives, and activities to be completed during the supervision period
Supervision Contract
This is the acronym most of us use to remember the 7 dimensions of ABA, or what you might do if you have one too many drinks and can't drive
GET A CAB
This is demonstrated by behavior changes that result from the presentation or removal of an antecedent stimulus in the presence of which the behavior has produced functional consequences.
Stimulus Control
To teach a child to tie their shoes, you start by reinforcing them for simply picking up the laces. Gradually, you require more steps towards shoe-tying before giving reinforcement. What procedure is this?
Shaping
What is the term for the amount of time between the end of one behavior and the beginning of another?
Interresponse Time (IRT)
Abby (BCBA) is training a new RBT. She provides instruction on the skill, models the skill, and then asks the RBT to demonstrate the skill while Abby provides specific feedback. What training model does this represent?
BST
These two people competed in a head to head push up challenge
Jason and Ashley
This verbal operant has no point-to-point correspondence, is evoked by an MO, and is reinforced by a specific consequence
Mand
This behavior change procedure involves teaching a child to independently complete a series of behaviors in a specific order to achieve a final desired outcome, by reinforcing each step in the sequence until the entire sequence of behaviors is performed smoothly
Chaining
This design is most typically used when displaying functional analysis data
Alternating Treatment Design
This involves using a predetermined checklist to evaluate the adherence of a supervisee to specific procedures or protocols during an intervention session
Fidelity Checklist
This professor, Dr. ________, is most likely to jump on a table when they see a rat and this professor, Dr. ______, is most likely to take the rat home
Dr. Mac; Dr. Crosland
__________ is the degree to which a study's results are generalizable to other subjects, settings, and/or behaviors, and ________ is the extent to which an experiment shows convincingly that changes in behavior are a function of the IV and not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables
External Validity; Internal Validity
This behavior change procedure involves systematically fading out prompts and gradually increasing the time interval between the presentation of the natural discriminative stimulus and the delivery of a prompt, to encourage independent responding. This method helps transfer stimulus control from the prompt to the natural discriminative stimulus.
Delay prompting or time delay
During a 30-minute observation, you check every 5 minutes to see if a student is on task at that exact moment. What method are you using?
Momentary Time Sampling
This is how and when a supervisor should deliver feedback to staff
Specific and Immediately
This is ~approximately~ how many of us have worked for ABA solutions
11 (?)
__________ is the extent to which a client exhibits novel responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target response, while ____________ is responding to antecedent stimuli sharing certain aspects of the original SD; a broadening of the spectrum of stimuli that occasion certain responses
Response generalization; Stimulus generalization
A ___________ contract is a two-party behavior contract in which the behavior change of one party serves as the reinforcer for the behavior change for the other party and vice versa
Quid Pro Quo
In a classroom study, Observer A records 12 instances of a student's out-of-seat behavior during a 30-minute session, while Observer B records 15 instances. Calculate the interobserver agreement (IOA) using total count
80%
These are two ways to increase staff acceptance of progress monitoring
1. Inform them they will be monitored
2. Tell them why they are being monitored
Go around the room and see how many of the name associations your group can remember from the name game we played on our first day of class (e.g., "Kaleigh Kangaroo")
