Reinforcement & punishment
A stimulus that signals reinforcement is available
What is a discriminative stimulus (SD)?
In a token economy, token are considered this
what is conditioned reinforcers?
this type of data collection is counting the number of times a behavior occurs within a designated time period
what is frequency
The main goal of this differential reinforcement procedure is to reinforce a behavior that is functionally equivalent to the problem behavior
what is differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
A child is constantly making inappropriate jokes in the classroom, as a result he gets verbal reprimands from the teacher and his peers laugh. what is likely maintaining this behavior
what is attention
Praising a child for cleaning their room is an example of which type of consequence?
what is positive reinforcement
the primary goal of this strategy is to teach individuals a more functional and socially acceptable way of communicationg
what is functional communication training (FCT)
this type of data collection records to length of time a behavior occurs for (e.g., crying)
what is duration
this type of differential reinforcement refers to reinforcing any behaviors that cannot occur at the same time as the problem behavior
what is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
Every time it is time for the child to do homework they start engaging in property destruction, what is likely maintaining this behavior
what is escape from demands
this type of reinforcement is delivered on a fixed schedule regardless of behavior
what is noncontingent reinforcement
varying the setting, materials, and people involved in teaching helps promote this
this part of the graph represents the intensity or frequency of the behavior being measured
what is the y-axis
this type of differential reinforcement reinforces the absence of the target problem behavior
differential reinforcement of other behavior
Every day when it is time to do math, jessie asks her teacher lots and lots of questions for help, often this results in her not completing her work. what is likely maintaining this behavior
what is escape from demands
this type of reinforcement schedule occurs when reinforcement is delivered after an unpredictable amount of time has passed
what is variable ratio (VR)
This refers to a behavior only occurring in the presence of certain stimuli and not others
what is stimulus control
what is a phase change line
what is differential reinforcement of low rates (DRL)
A child grabs a toy from another child to access the toy, what is likely maintaining this behavior
what is access to tangibles
Adding extra chores to decrease aggressive behavior is an example of which type of consequence
what is positive punishment
this is an outline of expected behaviors and their consequences that the child and adult both sign
what is a behavioral contract
this is a type of data collection where you record the presence or absence of behavior at the end of a previously determined interval
what is momentary time sampling
A student repeatedly leaves the classroom without asking when they need a break, their teacher wants them to raise their hand and ask for a break instead. which differential reinforcement procedure is this
what is differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
These types of behaviors are maintianed by non-social/environmental consequences
what is automatically maintained behaviors
