DRI
Name 3 types of verbal behavior
Mand (requesting)
Tact (labeling)
Echoic (repeating)
Intraverbal (conversing),
Textual (reading)
This signals that reinforcement is available
SD
Reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior to teach a new skill.
Shaping
Partial, whole and momentary time sampling are what type of measurement
Discontinuous
Lucas will be reinforced for every 2 minutes he is not hitting his brother. This is a ...
differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)
A little boy is playing with his toys in his room. Holding one of his stuffed animal dolls, he looks at it and says “Zebra!” What type of verbal behavior is this?
Tact
An operant conditioning involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future
Positive Reinforcement
Discontinuing reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior to decrease or eliminate that behavior.
Extinction
What is IRT?
Inter-response time. The time between two successive responses.
A student keeps hitting their peers during circle time. The RBT reinforces instances where the student keeps their hands in their lap instead of hitting
DRI
Following instructions or identifying items based on a verbal cue
Listener responding
Requires one response and two antecedant stimulus conditions. The response in the presence of one stimulus is reinforced while a response in the presence of the other is not. We are teaching them to make choices.
