Measurement
the time from the offset of one response and the onset of the next response.
inter-response time
type of assessment that identifies the type of reinforcement maintaining a behavior
Functional Analysis
A system where conditioned reinforcers (tokens) are earned by engaging in specific behavior(s).
Token Economy
What are the four functions of behavior?
Sensory, Escape, Attention, and Tangibles
correlates with increased availability of reinforcement
SD- Discriminative stimulus
AMOUNT OF TIME (in seconds, minutes, etc.) of the behavior.
Durration
assessement which identifies preferred stimuli, and sometimes ranks them hierarchically
Preference Assessment
An adult-led teaching method with ~5 distinct parts, very exactly structured, has precise contingency design, is often taught multiple times with short gaps between opportunities in a contrived setting.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
mike bounces his leg and hums while sitting quietly in a room.
Sensory
Changes the value of a consequence and increases the chance of a behavior that produces that consequence.
Motivating Operation (MO)
the amount of time between one event and another event
Latency
preference assessment where multiple stimuli are presented in each trial; each time an item is picked, it is removed from the array.
Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO) Preference Assessment
A procedure used to transfer stimulus control by gradually modifying or removing a prompt (e.g., changing color, size, or intensity) from a target stimulus, allowing the individual to respond correctly to the natural cue
Stimulus Fading
gabby drops to the floor and screams in the grocery store, her husband gives Her a candy bar to make her stop.
Tangible
A behavior-reduction technique that stops reinforcing a previously reinforced behavior, causing it to decrease or disappear over time
Extinction
data collection system where some dimension (or dimensions) of a behavior is recorded each time the behavior occurs, such as frequency, rate, etc.
Continuous measurement
preference assessment where stimuli are available on each trial - generates a list that reflects an individuals most-preferred stimuli, when all options are available
Multiple Stimulus (MS) Preference Assessment
Stimulus control is transferred over time from the prompt to the targeted antecedent
prompt fading
what is the function:
Abi is presented with a math worksheet, she screams and the teacher sends her into the hall.
Escape
In behavior analysis, the term for physical records left behind following a behavior (often used as an indirect measurement of that behavior) is...
Permanent product
What type of data collection does this describe?
"Samantha collected the total number of times Edward slapped the table and said "Well how about that!" during Thanksgiving dinner"
Frequency
preference assessment where the client freely engages with items in a set area, and duration of engagement is measured to judge relative preference
Free Operant (FO) Preference Assessment
teaching tools where successive approximations of a behavior are differentially reinforced while less preferred behavior contacts lesser or no reinforcement (extinction) as behavior is gradually changed in the desired direction.
Shaping Procedures
Attention
When a stimulus is REMOVED from the environment, and the behavior of interest INCREASES OVER TIME, this is referred to as what type of operant contingency?
Negative reinforcement
