It is very important that we clearly, objectively, and completely ________ ________ the target behaviour so that we can accurately and reliability measure the behaviour and so that our measurement procedures will be valid.
What is... Operationally Define
_________ __________ contingencies involve behaviours that produce an environmental event, that subsequently increases the level of occurrence of that behaviour under the same or similar conditions.
What is... Positive Reinforcement
If Jordan bangs his head because it gives him temporary relief from his earache, this is an example of direct escape - negative reinforcement. True or False.
What is... True
Molly and Steven are in the same kindergarten class. They both tantrum frequently. It is safe to assume that their tantrum behavior serves the same function, since they are at the same developmental level and are in the same environment? True or False
What is... False
Using the internet would be an example of?
What is.. Behaviour Cusp
_________ involves conducting various assessments such as the QABF, MAS, FAI, and Hanley’s Open-Ended FAI to gather information about the behaviour, available resources, and contextual stimuli.
What is... Indirect Assessments
This model allows us to assess, analyze, and treat behaviour using a well-rounded approach that doesn’t focus on just any one variable that could affect behaviour.
When conducting indirect assessments, we should also be giving suggestions and telling people what they need to do different. True or False
What is... False
Partial Interval Recording _____________ behaviour while Whole Interval Recording ____________ behaviour.
-Overestimates, underestimates
-Underestimates, overestimates
-Ruins, improves
-Overestimates, overestimates
What is... Overestimates, Underestimates
For this method of interval recording, the behaviour must occur for the entire interval to be counted and is best used when you want to increase a behaviour.
What is... Whole Interval
Behaviour Deficits are those that we want to _________ and Behaviour Excesses are those that we want to __________.
What is... Increase, Decrease
The _______ _______ rule says that when choosing a behaviour to decrease, we must choose one to increase.
What is... Fair, Pair
Give me three types of indirect assessments.
What is... Hanley's, FAI, QABF, MAS
Crawling provides access to new environments, items, activities, interactions between siblings/family pets, etc. and is therefore a _____________
What is... Behaviour Cusp
__________ refers to the degree to which two or more independent observers report the same observed values after measuring the same events.
What is...IOA
When choosing a behaviour to target, it is important that we consider _____ _____for its efficiency and overall benefit to the client.
What is... Generative Learning
The following quote is a good way to remember ___________.
"Picture a door, the behaviour cusp is a door that opens up to 100s of other doors that you wouldn’t have had access to had you not opened the first door.”
What are... Behaviour Cusps
FAOF stands for?
What is...Functional Assessment Observation Form
____________ recording is not appropriate for behaviours that are occurring at such a high frequency that the number recorded may not reflect an accurate count.
What is... Event Recording
Each time the man weighed himself at home, the scale showed 157lbs. He weighed himself once each day for three days and on the third day, he also had a doctor’s appointment for a regular check-up. The doctor weighed him using their scale and it showed 169lbs! Based on the information you have, the man’s measurement had:
What is... Reliability and Validity but NOT ACCURACY
_______________ occurs when existing skills enable or accelerate the acquisition of other skills without direct teaching or reinforcement.
What is... Generative Learning
____________ results in access to new environments, new contingencies, new stimulus controls
What is... Behaviour Cusps
_____________ result in response generalization and even more sophisticated versions of the skill.
What are... Pivotal Behaviours
___________ recording only generates an estimation of behaviour.
What is... Interval
Learning to approach others can lead to asking questions, socialization, asking to play, conversation skills, etc., which can be considered more sophisticated versions of the skill. The idea is that learning to approach others is taught and the others are “Freebies”. What is this?
What is... Pivotal Behaviour
