DTT
This is a detailed document outlining specific strategies and steps to be used to teach a targeted skill, including the desired behavior, teaching materials, reinforcement, mastery criteria, generalization, and maintenance
Skill acquisition plan
This is the outcome that follows the learner's response (reinforcement, correct, errorless learning, etc.)
Consequence
This is a procedure that is used to help learners generalize skills they are learning through their ABA program. You use this to generalize learned skills into natural, everyday use
Naturalistic teaching/ NET
This is breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable, step-by-step units. This is the process of identifying and listing those steps.
Task analysis
Type of reinforcement that you learn over time are reinforcing
Conditioned reinforcement- extra points for naming 5 conditioned reinforcers
This is an initial measurement of a client's behavior before any intervention is implemented
This is when you ask the same target each trial, but include one or two unknown choices as answer options (the incorrect answers in an array)
Distractor trial
This is an NET procedure that focuses on embedding learning opportunities within the natural environment of the individual. It involves taking everyday situations and activities to promote learning and skill development
Incidental teaching
This refers to the method of teaching the steps that are laid out in the task analysis
Chaining
A change in a person's environment that increases the likelihood of a certain behavior occurring again and more frequently in the future
Reinforcement
This is highly structured teaching method where reinforcement is often a predetermined reward like a toy or praise and is often used for initial skill acquisition, especially for complex skills requiring repetition

Distractor trial- extra points for giving the AKA for it!
What is the main role of NET?
Generalize learned behaviors and skills
In this type of chaining you teach and reinforce the last step of the task analysis and then the remaining steps are prompted. When the last step is mastered, you teach and reinforce the last two steps. This process is repeated until the entire task analysis is mastered
Backward chaining
Reinforcers that you don't have to learn are reinforcing to you. You are born knowing you need these
Unconditioned reinforcement- extra points if you can name 5 unconditioned reinforcers
This is a cue or model used to help the learner respond correctly or appropriately
Prompt
This occurs when a learned behavior or skills, after the specific teaching procedures and interventions used to initially acquire that behavior or skill have been removed
Maintenance
A therapist uses a child's natural interest in a toy car to teaching manding by placing the car out of the child's reach and asking them "What do you want?" What type of teaching procedure is this?
Incidental teaching
This is a type of chaining in which the learner is taught and prompted through each step of the task analysis
Total task chaining
A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided for each occurrent of the desired behavior. This is typically used in the initial stages of learning new behavior or skills
Continuous reinforcement- extra points if you can name the AKA
This is a short break between trials
Inter-trial interval
This occurs when a client is able to perform a learned skill or behavior across different environments, with different people, and at different times, essentially demonstrating the skill outside of the specific context where it was initially taught
Generalization
A child is playing with blocks and the therapist uses the opportunity to teach color identification by asking, "What color is your block?" What type of teaching procedure is this?
Naturalistic teaching/NET
This is a type of chaining in which the first step of a task, then the second, then the third step, etc. is taught until the entire sequence is mastered
Forward chaining
A type of schedule of reinforcement in which some but not all occurrence of a behavior are reinforced. This is typically used to maintain established behaviors and when progressing toward naturally occurring reinforcement
Intermittent reinforcement- extra points if you can name a type of intermittent reinforcement schedule
