What does BSP stand for?
Bonus: What is the goal of a BSP?
Behavior Support Plan
Goal: to decrease challenging behavior and also increase appropriate behavior
A variety of procedures used to determine the stimuli that a person prefers is called a _________?
Stimulus Preference Assessment
ABA stands for __________
Applied Behavior Analysis
Problem behavior maintained by gaining access to a desired item, activity, or event is called ___________ reinforcement
Tangible reinforcement
A systematic method of assessment for obtaining information about the function a problem behavior serves for the person. The results are used to guide the design of an intervention for decreasing the problem behavior and increasing appropriate behavior. This is called a __________ ___________ ____________ .
Functional Behavior Assessment
If a person has not had a Reese's chocolate covered Easter egg in one whole year, they may be in a state of _________?

Define ABA in simple terms.
ABA is a science devoted to the understanding and improvement of human behavior.

Social negative reinforcement, or escape
What does functionally equivalent mean?
Serving the same function or purpose.
A decrease in the frequency of operant behavior presumed to be the result of continued contact with or consumption of a reinforcer that has followed the behavior is called _________________.
Satiation
Behavior that is evoked, learned behavior controlled by antecedent and consequence events is called __________ behavior.
Operant
Automatic positive reinforcement (sensory stimulation) is when behavior does not depend on the action of another person to produce an outcome. The behavior produces its own reinforcement. Provide 2 examples.
Some examples: sucking your thumb, cracking your neck or back, singing or humming to yourself, body rocking, masturbation, hair twirling, shaking leg, clicking a pen, etc.
An experimental manipulation of antecedent and consequent conditions that mirror a person's natural environment is called a ______ _______. This is the only assessment that shows a causal relationship between the environment and the behavior. *Can only be done by a highly trained BCBA in a controlled setting.
Experimental analysis (sometimes called a functional analysis)
True or False: Preference assessments may include a single stimulus or, at times, multiple stimuli simultaneously.
True
When multiple behaviors result in the same function this is called a _______ _______.
Response class
Automatic Negative Reinforcement (pain attenuation)
Three types of assessments make up an FBA. What are they?
Indirect assessments
Descriptive Assessments
Experimental Analyses (functional analysis)
Select the correct word: An establishing operation (EO) determines what an individual has/wants/needs/dislikes at any particular moment.
Wants
EOs are always changing!
Just because you want it, doesn't mean you can have it. The Desert example.
