Environmental variables that temporarily alter the value of other stimuli, objects, or events as reinforcers and will increase or decrease behaviors that result from that stimulus
what is a motivating operation
teaching a behavioral chain, all steps at a time, on step after another
what is total task chaining
What is a preferred item/preference?
something that a child likes or enjoys
what is prompt fading?
process by which a prompt is removed gradually across learning trials until the prompt is no longer needed
measurable, objective, and observable; may include an example and a non-example of the target behavior
what is an operational definition
recognizes situations throughout the session that the client has a motivation for
what is capturing motivation
what is chaining?
a method of teaching a behavior using behavior chains
what is a reinforcer
something that will change behavior
what is the most intrusive prompt and the hardest to fade
verbal
this is based on an actual observation of the behavior in-vivo
what is direct measurement
increases current effectiveness of a stimulus
(i.e. deprivation)
what is establishing operation
teaching a behavioral chain beginning with the first step
what type of assessment is asking the child if they want the car or the play-doh?
paired/forced choice
what is a model prompt
you would demonstrate the desired behavior
a worksheet that is kept to keep track of progress in an example of what type of recording?
permanent product
developing situations in which motivation presents by altering the environment
what is contriving motivation
this serves the purpose of identifying all the smaller, teachable units of behavior that make up a behavior chain
what is task analysis
how do you find what a child is motivated for
preference assessment
if you point to, look at, or nod in the correct direction. what type of prompt is this?
gestural
what is indirect measurement
decreases the current effectiveness of a stimulus
(i.e. satiation)
what is abolishing operation
teaching a behavioral chain beginning with the last step
what is backward chaining
You present an array of 5 items, the child chooses one and plays with it. Then, you remove that item and present the other 4 items. Continue this with one less item each time. What type of assessment is this?
multiple stimulus without replacement
process in which prompts are removed in order to bring the behavior under stimulus control of a new stimulus or the natural discriminative stimulus (SD)
what is stimulus control transfer
direct measurement
