Data Collection
Counts the number of times a behavior occurs
Frequency
A strategy to teach a skill containing multiple steps
Chaining
Anything that occurs after a behavior that increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring over time
Reinforcement
Schedules of reinforcement: What FR stands for
Fixed Ratio
Strategies a clinician uses to pair themselves with reinforcement
Pairing
The amount of time a behavior occurs
Duration
Strategies that target altering the environment/situation to reduce the likelihood of a certain behavior occurring.
Antecedent intervention strategies
This is the term for cutting off all reinforcement to a behavior
Extinction
Schedules of reinforcement: What VI stands for
Variable Interval
When the clinician provides prompting immediately so that the learner cannot make a mistake
Errorless teaching
The amount of time between the SD and the behavior occurring
Latency
Reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the target behavior
Shaping
Anything that occurs after a behavior that decreases the likelihood that behavior will occur in the future
Punishment
What ABA stands for
Applied Behavior Analysis
Reinforcement that is given freely and without requiring a response
Noncontingent Reinforcement
The amount of time in between two occurrences of the same behavior
Inter-response time (IRT)
This is a teaching strategy that involves practicing a skill within the setting and context it is expected to occur in "real life"
Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
The 4 functions of behavior
Access
Avoidance/Escape
Attention
Automatic/Sensory
The "C" in ABC
Consequence
The procedure that is used when the learner has failed to give the target response after the SD
Error Correction
Whole Interval Recording
Transferring control from one stimulus to another stimulus
Stimulus control transfer
When a learner has had full access to a reinforcer for an extended period of time, lessening the learner's motivation to gain access to that reinforcer.
Satiation
What "MO" stands for
Motivating Operation
Delivering more reinforcement to one behavior than another
Differential reinforcement
