Verbal Operants
Mand
What is requesting something
Frequency
What is the total number of times that a behavior occurs throughout a specific observation period, Continuous
Free operant
What is several items are placed in the environment and the duration of engagement with each item is recorded as an index of relative preference.
What is Antcedent
Define Antcedent Intervention?
What is manipulating or changing environmental variables within a context as a proactive strategy to prevent maladaptive behaviors from occurring
Tact
What is labelling something
Partial Interval
What is the observation period is divided into intervals and the observer marks whether a targeted behavior occurs at any time during the interval, Discontinuous
Single Stimulus
What is providing one item to the learner, allowing the learner to engage with it, and recording the response and duration of engagement.
B stands for...
What is Behavior
Define Extinction
What is no longer reinforcing a previously einforced behavior
Echoic
What is the learner repeats the sound(s) that are being said with point to point correspondence
Whole Interval
What is the observation period is divided into intervals, and the observer marks whether a target behavior occurs for the entire interval, Discontinuous
Forced Choice
What is placing two items in front of the learner and allowing them to select one.
C stands for...
What is Consequence
Name and define DRI
What is Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior, reinforcement is given for a behavior that cannot be done at the same time as the behavior targeted for reduction
Listener Responding
What is a physical response to an instruction
Latency
What is measuring how long it takes for a behavior to begin after an Sd has occurred, Continuous
Multiple stimulus without replacement
A preference assessment with items set out in an array, learner selects item, and the item is not put back in the array.
Why do we take ABC data?
What is to hypothesize the function of the behavior
Name and define DRA
What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors, reinforcement is given for a behavior that serves as an appropriate alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and serves the same function
Intraverbal
What is a verbal response to a verbal stimulus without point to point correspondence
Momentary Time Sampling
What is specified intervals are set, and the observer records whether the behavior is occurring at the end of the interval, Discontinuous
Multiple stimulus with replacement
What is a preference assessment with items set out, learner selects item. Once item is selected the therapists puts the item that was chosen back into the array and replaces the items not chosen with new items.
What are the 4 functions of behavior?
What are Sensory (Automatic), Escape (Avoidance), Attention, Tangibles (Access)
Name and define DRO
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors, reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior occurring during specific time intervals and is withheld if the problem behavior is exhibited during that time interval.
