Can't we all just get along?
Often confused with a bribe, this kind of reinforcer is presented before placing a demand
What is a promise reinforcer?
Before circling "no" a mand probe, you must check for this
What is motivation?
This process occurs after behavior and increases the future likelihood of it
What is reinforcement?
This is what NET stands for
What is Natural Environment Teaching?
AAC spelled out
What is Augmentative and Alternative Communication?
Demonstrate using a promise reinforcer
Show, say, do
Mand training is NOT this
What is a demand?
Effective reinforcement has these 5 properties
What are immediate, sizeable, frequent, varied, and valuable to the learner?
This is how you know the student is interested in something
What are looking, pointing, leading, doing, etc.?
These are the two roles necessary for communication
What are speaker and listener?
Reinforcement can be categorized as...
Socially-mediated vs. automatic
Positive vs. negative
A student asks, "What time is music?" when it is not on the schedule. This is an example of...
What is a spontaneous mand for information?
List antecedent interventions to increase cooperation
Increase pairing (start and end session with pairing)
Reduce demands
Increase ratio of easy skills (e.g., 90/10 instead of 80/20)
Decrease response effort
Informal preference assessment (seek high valued items)
Explain how you would use 2 of the following NET skills:
- Bit by bit
- The expectant pause
- Capture the opportunity
- Special delivery
- Go with the flow and follow the MO
You are a NET master!
These are examples of low-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech AAC
Low: choice boards, PECS
Mid: buttons, switches, static boards
High: tablet, computer, digital/electronic
List some readiness skills that often need to be explicitly taught to our learners
What are:
- mands
- approach (come here, walk with me)
- ready hands
- wait
- giving up reinforcers
- cooperation
- interruption transition
- accepting "no"
These are the two different types of mand data collected
What are cold probes and mand frequency?
List consequence interventions to promote desirable behavior
Provide more valuable reinforcer
Provide higher rate of reinforcement (lower VR)
Reinforce immediately
Provide greater magnitude of reinforcement
Reinforce on transfer trials
Improve implementation of differential reinforcement
Describe how you would teach each verbal operant using scissors
Did you include the tact, mand, echoic, and intraverbal?
A typically developing 18-month old is exposed to 4,380 hours of oral language. If AAC is modeled only an hour a week, this is how long it will it will take to reach the same level of exposure.
What is 84 years?
Describe using shaping to teach a skill
Remember, reinforce successive approximations toward a terminal behavior
Motivation exists as a continuum between these two poles
What are deprivation and satiation?
Which two behavioral techniques gradually transform a replacement behavior (e.g., asking for a break) into meeting classroom expectations (e.g., completing a writing assignment)
What are shaping and chaining?
Name some locations, activities, and skills targeted by NET
Location: halls, cafeteria, playground, carpet
Activities: play-doh, crafts, games, play
Skills: matching, generalization, social, anything
These are high frequency words that make up approximately 80% of our language - mostly verbs, pronouns, and descriptors
