Protocols
The standard protocol to use for attention-maintained behavior.
Planned Ignoring
The total number or count of a specific behavior during a session is called the ________.
Frequency
You say, "oh no!" and your client says, "oh no!" What operant is this?
Echoic (might also be called vocal imitation)
After a target is mastered, how many days do we wait before testing for mastery (TFM)?
7
Pairing
If you present an SD with an immediate prompt (0-second delay) to help your client respond correctly the first time, what is this called?
Errorless teaching
When calculating the rate per hour or average minutes per hour, what do you divide by?
Session duration (in decimal format)
True or False: In addition to things you see, you can also tact things you smell, hear, taste, and touch.
True
What color is used to indicate the first 3 days/sessions of teaching?
Yellow
How long should pairing last?
It is an on-going process and should occur during all of your sessions! You always want to be viewed as the "giver of good things".
Using a stronger operant to help teach a weaker operant (such as having your client tact a ball, then asking them, "What do we bounce?") is called...
Operant transfer
Your client had 5 instances of property destruction and 4 instances of physical aggression during session. How should this get put into their master graph?
You give your client the SD, "What do we sleep in?" and they respond by saying "bed". What operant is this?
Intraverbal
What does a pink frame/highlight mean?
The target is past the first 3 days of teaching (days 4, 5, 6, etc.)
True or False: It's okay to give simple SDs such as, "What color is this?", "Look at me", and "hands down" while pairing with a client.
False
When running an error correction, after you prompt your client with the correct response, what is the next step?
Repeat the SD and have the client respond again independently (transfer trial)
What type of behavior goes into the "DBx Frequency" column on the master graph?
Any behavior that is not aggression (PA, PD, SIB) and that is only tracked with frequency.
Your client sees a box and says, "What's in there?" What operant is this?
Mand
If a client gets 3 consecutive Ns or a N in a pink frame, what should you do?
Make a program change (PC)!
Your client is playing with blocks. How can you pair with them during this activity?
Build a tower for them to knock down, give them blocks, make 2 blocks into a mouth and pretend to "eat" them, try to balance blocks on your head, etc.
This is the protocol you should use if your client engages in an incorrect mand or an inappropriate mand.
Count & mand
If you do not run a protocol during a session and put N/A or a slash on your summary sheet, how should this be recorded on the graph?
How is Listener Responding by Feature, Function, and Class (LRFFC) different from Listener Responding (LR)?
With LRFFC, you are given a description of something without being given its "name". For example, "find something you eat" or "find a food" instead of "find cookie".
What happens after a client gets 3 consecutive Ys? (3 possible answers)
If there is a prompt in place, fade the prompt.
If it is in DTI, go to NET/GEN.
If it is in NET/GEN, hold for 7 days and TFM.
You are pairing with a new client and follow their lead, letting them move freely around and play with toys. You observe them to see what they like. After about 15 minutes, you show them a preferred item and say, "Let's go over here". What's the mistake in this process?
You did not talk to them or try to make the activity more fun with your presence. You had 0 positive interactions or reinforcement and then gave a demand.
