Label each letter in the 3 term contingency
Antecedent; Behaviour; Consequence
Parameters of operational definitions are written in what kind of terms
Observable & Measurable
When is data collected?
During baseline, intervention, and maintenance
A behaviour objective is a statement that ...
Describes the desired outcome of the target behaviour
Who is socially mediated reinforcement given by
Someone else!
Name two components in which operant conditioning is learned
Antecedents and Consquences
False
Leo the Dog followed his owner's command to "sit" 2 times out of the total 10 times he was asked. What is the percentage of opportunity that Leo sat?
20%
Name the 4 components of a behaviour objective
1. Identify the individual; 2. Identify target behaviour; 3. Identify conditions under which it occurs; 4. Identify criteria for successful performance
Define a reinforcer
The object, thing or event (stimuli) that is added or removed immediately after a target behaviour
Simply define / describe classical conditioning
The pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus (which produces an ununconditioned response) repeatedly until the neutral stimulus produces the unconditioned response
What is missing from the following operational definition: "On-task behaviour is when the student responds vocally or physically (completes an action) to the instructor's questions / instructions. The learner may respond correctly or incorrect but the answer must be related to the question / instruction".
Measurable component
How is the rate of behaviour calculated?
Frequency of the behaviour divided by the amount of time observed
In the example: "When L.C is presented with any lowercase letter and asked "what letter", he will independently and correctly state the letter at 90% accuracy for two consecutive days across all 26 letters of the alphabet" define the conditions
Presented with any lowercase letter AND asked "what letter"
Define the different between a positive reinforcer and a negative reinforcer
Positive reinforcement is the presentation of a stimulus to increase behaviour; Negative reinforcement is removal of a stimulus to increase behaviour
When my mom asks me to "can you please clean your room" and I put all the toys back into their bins, she gives me a high five and says "thank you". What is the antecedent in this example?
Mom asking "can you please clean your room".
What is the target behaviour: "I want my child to learn how to downhill ski, so that we can all participate when we go skiing on family vacations".
Skiing
When does partial interval recording collect data?
When it happens at any point during the interval
Name the 7 features needed in a graph
1. Title; 2. Phase labels (baseline and intervention); 3. Phase line (line is usually dotted) between baseline and intervention (data points not connected); 4. X axis is labelled correctly; 5. Y axis is labelled correct (solid) dimension of behaviour being measured); 6. Individual data points are plotted with a circle; 7. Entire graph is black on white background
When the bright light of the sun is taken away by pulling down your visor in the car, this is an example of:
Negative reinforcement
Name the 7 dimensions of behaviour
Generality; Effective; Technological; Applied; Conceptually Systematic; Analytic; Behavioural
Provide an example of observable components to include in the following example: "Studying is defined as the individual engaging with assigned academic material for at least 30 minutes".
Looking at, reading, writing, highlighting, reviewing, or responding to the material
Describe the trend and variability of the graph shown
Descending & Variable
Provide a behaviour objective for saying goodbye to a classmate at the end of each subject
At the end of a class/subject and a classmate leaving or transitioning to another activity, the student will independently and vocally say “goodbye” or use another appropriate farewell (e.g., “see you later”) to the classmate within 10 seconds of the transition. The student will do this with at least 80% accuracy across 3 consecutive days.
reinforcer is GIVEN; IMMEDIATE; FOCUSED (only given after specific behaviour occurs); TIED to increase in behaviour occurring again in the future
