100

The most commonly used graph in ABA

Line graph

100

Withholding reinforcement for a behavior that was previously reinforced

Extinction

200

The client earns a sticker after every time he completes 5 math problems

Fixed Ratio schedule
200

Presenting a negative consequence after an undesired behavior is exhibited making the behavior less likely to happen again in the future

Positive punishment

200

The client would hit his leg even when toys were available and technician was talking to him.

Automatic/Sensory

200

Name the different types of CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT

Frequency, Duration, Latency, IRT, RATE
200

Reinforcing a learner for staying in their seat without any aggression for 5 minutes

DRO

300

Reinforcing closer and closer approximations toward a target behavior

Shaping

300

When a certain desired stimulus/item is removed after a particular undesired behavior is exhibited, resulting in the behavior happening less often in the future

Negative punishment

300

300
The client is reinforced when he washes his hand 5 times a day instead of 30 times a day

DRL

400

Prompt dependency

400

When you want to increase the future behavior

Reinforcement

400

The client would begin to hit his peer when his toys were put in the basket.

Access to tangibles

400

Name the different types of DISCONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT

Partial interval, whole interval, momentary time sampling

400

The client requests "break please" instead of throwing all the material on the floor

DRA

500

Target behavior continues to occur in relevant situations after trainings

Maintenance

500

A cue that signals reinforcement is available if the subject makes a particular response
