PROMPTS
Instructions, gestures, demonstrations, or touches that we arrange or do to increase the likelihood that the student will make the correct response.
What is a "prompt".
ABC Data stands for
What is, "Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence".
What are the four functions of behavior?
What are "Attention, Tangible, Escape, and Automatic".
Measuring Behavior prior to starting intervention.
What is "Baseline".
The process by which you establish yourself as a reinforcer with a student.
What is "Pairing".
Prompts that involve full assistance e.g. hand over hand assistance to perform a task, or partial physical assistance (such as a touch on the wrist or elbow to remind a student of the action required).
What is a "Physical" prompt.
This happens before a behavior that may have triggered the behavior.
What is "ANTECEDENT".
Name the function: Naturally produced sensory consequence that, “sound good, looks good, tastes good, smells good, feels good to touch, or the movements itself is good.”
What is "Automatic" reinforcement.
Tally Count of how often a behavior occurs.
What is "Frequency".
Reinforcing approximations to reach a terminal skill/goal.
"What is shaping".
A point, hand gesture, or head nod to encourage the student to complete the task.
What is a "Gestural Prompt".
An event that occurs after a behavior occurs and changes the probability of that behavior reoccurring (increases or reduces).
What is a "CONSEQUENCE".
Name the function: Josh runs away and hides when his teacher tells him to sit down and do his work. His teacher ignores him until the next activity and the class moves on. Josh did not have to complete his work. Josh runs away and hides more frequently when instructed to sit down and do his work.
What is "Escape".
Measuring how long a behavior lasts.
What is "Duration".
A procedure that makes a behavior MORE likely to happen again in the future.
What is "Reinforcement".
What is a "Verbal Prompt".
This can be harmful to the person and others around them, and can stop the student from achieving things in their daily life, such as making friends or concentrating at school.
What is a "BEHAVIOR".
Name the function: Sam asks to play with his video game. Mom says no and Sam begins to engage in tantrum behavior until mom gives Sam his video game. Sam engages in tantrum behavior more frequently.
"What is Tangible".
When an individual applies something learned in a specific situation to other similar situations.
What is a "Generalization".
A situation in which a person's behaviors can put them in jeopardy of harming themselves or others.
What is a "Crisis".
A picture or cue that the student sees which provides information about how to respond with the correct answer.
What is a "Visual Prompt".
Preventive strategies that can be implemented in school, home or everyday routines to reduce the occurrence of challenging behavior.
What is "Antecedent Management".
Name the function: Sally throws her food on the ground. Mom picks up the food and begins singing and praising Sally until she eats her food. Sally throws her food on the ground more frequently.
What is "Attention".
Refers to the tendency for behavior “to get worse before it gets better”. When a previously reinforced behavior is no longer reinforced, the behavior will temporarily increase in frequency, magnitude, and variability.
What is "Extinction Burst".
Specialized training in verbal de-escalation, safe physical management, passive holding methods for aggressive, assaultive, challenging behaviors.
What is "Handle with Care".
