Measurement
You want to measure the amount of time between the onset of a stimulus and the initiation of a response (ie. the learner is instructed to pick up a toy; the amount of time between the instruction and the toy being picked up).
Latency
Jim says "It's a fish" after Sally says "It's a fish".
What is an echoic?
An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for a problem behavior.
Functional communication training
This section of the ABLLS focuses on receptive language skills.
C. Bonus: Give an example of a receptive language task.
The addition of a stimulus contingent on a target behavior, which causes that behavior to increase in frequency, duration or intensity over time.
What is positive reinforcement?
Collecting data on all responses of behavior during a data collection period
What is continuous data collection procedures BONUS: What are two examples of these?
Dad and Jessie are walking to the park. A dog walks in front of Jessie. Jessie says, "It's a dog."
What is a tact?
Jill is teaching her learner how to brush his teeth. She provides full physical guidance on all steps of the task except the last step, when she is given the opportunity to perform the step (rinse toothbrush) independently.
Backwards chain
This section of the ABLLS focuses on expressive language.
G. Bonus: Give an example of a skill targeted in the G domain.
Johnny is earning tokens for completing his work. He rips up his worksheet, and his therapist removes a token from his board. The next day, he does his work and earns his tokens without ripping his worksheet.
What is negative punishment?
These are examples of discontinuous data collection procedures.
What are: partial interval, whole interval and momentary time sampling
Sarah approaches a pizza counter and says, "May I have a piece of cheese pizza, please?"
What is a mand?
A learner errors. You reset, redeliver the SD, the next component of error correction is...
What is a transfer trial?
This is a response that refers to a task that requires a vocal response like talking or singing.
Expressive response
I had a headache and I took some Advil, and my headache went away. Now every time that I have a headache, I take Advil.

Duration
Josh comes into work in the morning, and Kyle says "Hey Josh, who won the game last night? Josh says, "The Raptors of course!"

Reducing your prompts over time to increase independence.
What is prompt fading?
When a reinforcer loses its effectiveness due to overuse.
Satiation
Mary engages in attention maintained table tapping behaviour. Her ST instructs therapists to begin ignoring the behaviour; they no longer provide attention for table tapping. After three days, table tapping has increased significantly.
Extinction burst
Graphs are AWESOME! These are the three ways we look at data to interpret and visually analyze the changes in data.
What are shifts in Level, Trend, and Variability BONUS: What is it called when you take data before your intervention?
An auditory instruction, a particular non-vocal/non-verbal response, and the delivery of a particular consequence (typically praise or tangible items) make up the active components of this verbal operant.
Listener responding
The discriminative stimulus (SD), response, consequence and intertrial interval.
What are the components of a discrete trial?
A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered on a variable schedule based on an average number of responses.
Variable ratio schedule.
The process of a therapist building a rapport with learner and associating themselves with reinforcement with the goal of establishing instructional control.
