Sensory
Untaught or unconditioned responses
Respondent Behavior
The amount of times a behavior occurs
Frequency
Stimuli are presented in pairs, and one choice is allowed at a time. All stimuli are matched together at least once.
Paired Stimulus preference assessment
Increase the effectiveness of a reinforcer
Establishing Operations
The child asked to go to the restroom multiple times when it was time for math
Escape
A stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response
i.e. Food is an unconditioned stimulus for a hungry animal and salivation is the unconditioned response.
Unconditioned Stimulus
The amount of time a behavior occurs for
Duration
The individual freely engages with any items in the environment and engagement time with each activity is recorded.
Free Operant Preference Assessment
Decreases the effectiveness of a reinforcer
Abolishing Operations
The participant yells and laughs while looking at others
Attention
A behavior that occurs naturally due to a given stimulus.
i.e. Dogs salivating in the presence of food; yelping upon being bitten by an insect.
Unconditioned Response
The total count per unit of time
Rate
Many Stimuli are presented simultaneously, but only one choice is allowed at a time. After an items is chosen, it is removed from the array.
Multiple Stimulus without Replacement.
An increase in current frequency of behavior due to an MO
Evocative Effect
The individual wants a preferred item or activity
Access to Tangible
Behavior that is controlled or influenced by consequences.
Behavior whose future frequency is determined by a history of consequences.
Operant Behavior
The length of time between a stimulus and the response to that stimulus
Latency
Many Stimuli are presented simultaneously, but only one choice is allowed at a time. After an items is chosen, it is returned to the array on subsequent trials.
Multiple Stimulus with Replacement.
A decrease in current frequency of behavior due to an MO
Abative Effect
The participant engages in self-induced vomiting on the way to school
Avoidance
A behavior that does not come naturally, but must be learned by the individual by pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
Conditioned Response
The time between two consecutive responses or behaviors
Inter-Response Time
Simultaneous presentation of two items or activities and individual is asked to choose one.
Most frequently selected item will likely be the most potent reinforcer.
Forced Choice Preference Assessment
