The characteristics of an Operational Definition
What are Objective, Complete, and Clear.
Measurement conducted in a manner where only some of the instances of the target behavior/s are detected during the observation period.
What is Discontinuous Measurement.
The 4 Functions of Behavior
What are Tangible, Escape, Automatic, and Attention?
Strategies used in ABA to prevent or reduce problematic behaviors by focusing on changing the environment or modifying triggers before the behavior occurs.
What Are Antecedent Interventions?
Physical state, Social environment, and Routine changes.
What are Setting Events?
The Continuous Measurement Procedures
What are
Frequency
Duration
Rate
Inter-response time (IRT)
Latency
The Discontinuous Measurement Procedures
What are
Partial interval Recording
Whole interval Recording
Momentary time sample
Withholding reinforcement for a behavior that was previously reinforced thereby decreasing the behavior in the future
What is Extinction?
The goals of Antecedents Interventions.
What is to Prevent Problematic Behavior, Promote Desired Behavior, and Enhance Learning?
2 ways we can modify the environment.
What is adjusting layout, lighting, noise levels, seating, using visual schedules, or other visual cues?
Measurement procedure that measures the length of a behavior from its start to its finish
What is duration?
Measures if a behavior does or does not occur throughout an entire predetermined interval
What is Whole Interval Recording?
Requiring a person to repair the damage caused by the challenging behavior or requiring a person to repeatedly perform the desired behavior
What is overcorrection?
Visual cues in our everyday life
Calenders, to-do lists, timers, and labels.
Adding novel or preferred items to increase engagement and motivation
What is enriching an environment?
Measurement procedure that measures the amount of time between when a stimulus is presented and when a response occurs
What is Latency?
Type of measurement procedure that measures if a behavior does or does not occur at any point throughout a predetermined interval
What is Partial Interval Recording?
Occurs when reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is withheld and there is an initial increase in the occurrence of that behavior.
What is Extinction Burst?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to earn?
When do you want to do it?
Where do you want to do it?
Who do you want to do it with?
What are Choice Making Opportunity questions
Environmental Modifications
Instructional Modifications
Prompting Strategies
Schedule and Routine Adjustments
Choice-Making Opportunities
Enrichment and Engagement
Interventions Targeting Specific Antecedents
What are different Types of Antecedents Interventions?
The time in between two responses of the same response class
What is Inter-Response Time?
Type of measurement procedure that measures if the behavior is occurring at the end of the predetermined interval
What is Momentary Time Sampling?
The differential reinforcement procedures
What are
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)
Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates (DRD)
Differential Reinforcement of High Rates (DRH)
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates (DRL)
Teaching alternative communication skills to replace problem behaviors
What is Functional Communication Training?
Starting with easy, high-probability tasks before presenting harder low-probability tasks
What is Behavioral Momentum?
