ABA Foundations
This concept involves increasing desired behaviors by following them with preferred stimuli.
What is positive reinforcement?
This technique involves breaking complex behaviors into smaller steps.
What is task analysis?
Counting how often behaviors occur.
What is frequency recording?
This is best classified as a request
What is a mand?
Federal law that ensures health information privacy.
What is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)?
This principle explains how behaviors are maintained by consequences.
What is operant conditioning?
This procedure involves gradually increasing exposure to a feared stimulus.
What is systematic desensitization?
This type of graph helps visualize data over time.
What is a line graph?
Teacher: "Twinkle Twinkle little..."
Child: "Star"
This is an example of
What is an intraverbal?
Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others
What is automatic reinforcement?
This term describes the process of gradually increasing expectations.
What is shaping?
This technique involves reinforcing an alternative behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)?
This technique involves observing behaviors in natural environments.
What is naturalistic observation?
This is an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst?
Behaviors, practices, and decisions that address such basic and fundamental questions as the following: What is the right thing to do? What's worth doing?
What is ethics?
This concept involves reducing problem behaviors by removing reinforcement for previously reinforced behaviors.
What is extinction?
This procedure involves teaching new skills through demonstration and imitation.
What is modeling?
What type of data collection measures the length of time a behavior occurs?
What is duration recording?
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement?
The force or intensity with which a response is emitted
What is magnitude?
This principle explains how behaviors are influenced by their antecedents and consequences.
What is the three-term contingency?
This concept involves gradually reducing support and prompts to increase independence.
What is fading?
Measures agreement between observers.
What is inter-observer agreement?
In order for an item to be considered generalized, it must be across...
What is different people, different settings and different stimuli?
An object or symbol that is awarded contingent on appropriate target behavior(s) that can be traded for a wide variety of backup reinforcers.
What is a token?
