What is echoic?
The process of reducing undesirable behaviors by removing the reinforcement that maintains these behaviors.
What is extinction?
The percentage of supervision you are required to have monthly.
What is 5% supervision?
A prompting approach by which the therapist starts at the least intrusive prompts and increases intrusiveness of the prompt until the child is successful.
What is least to most prompting?
This is a stimulus that, when delivered after a behavior, increases the likelihood that behavior will occur more in the future.
What is a reinforcer?
This is the verbal operant for which includes responding to another's verbal behavior, such as answering a question, without visual cues.
What is an intraverbal?
This is the process by which a child is taught a functional response to replace a undesired behavior.
What is functional communication training?
What is a multiple/dual relationship?
A prompting strategy by which the therapist starts at the most intrusive prompt and decreases intrusiveness of the prompt as the child becomes more successful.
What is most to least prompting?
The reinforcement schedule used when teaching a new behavior.
What is FR1?
The verbal operant for which the SD is MO.
What is mand?
A behavior with this function is maintained by reprimands, praise, eye contact, and other forms of social interaction.
What is attention?

What is client dignity?

What is antecedent strategies?

What is self-reporting?
This is a type of prompt that acts upon the "behavior" portion of the three-term contingency (ABCs).
What is a response prompt?
This strategy is utilized when reinforcement is systematically decreased over time for a target behavior until reinforcement in-clinic mimics naturally occurring reinforcement schedules.
What is reinforcement fading?
This is a quality of echoics and motor imitation skills, meaning that the response must exactly duplicate the SD.
What is point to point correspondence?
This is the behavioral LAW that states that a behavior that receives the most frequent reinforcement will be the most frequently chosen behavior; "behavior goes where reinforcement flows."
What is matching law?
This is a learner's voluntary agreement to participate in therapy.
What is assent?
This is the type of prompt that acts upon the "antecedent" portion of the three term contingency (ABCs).
What is a stimulus prompt?
This is a disruption in behavior that occurs when the response requirements in a reinforcement schedule become too demanding; the reinforcement is no longer worth performing the behavior.
What is ratio strain?
