____ ____ WHAT IS YOUR JOB
ENGR
Consent to intervene in a way that is experimental or risky; participant/guardian is informed of the risks and benefits and of the right to stop intervention.
Informed consent
Interresponse time (IRT) is...
the amount of time that occurs between two consecutive instances or a response
An analysis of complex behavior and sequences of behavior broken into their component responses.
Task Analysis
A stimulus event or condition that is a reinforcer, though not as a result of pairing with another reinforcer.
Unconditioned reinforcer
A ___ is a stimulus that signals the availability or reinforcement
SD
____ ____ means that the behavior analyst must work to promote the client's independence.
Respecting autonomy
Inter-Observer Agreement measures...
Reliability
Initial increases in the response rate and magnitude or intensity following extinction.
Extinction burst
Repeating the correct response after making an incorrect response.
Positive Practice Overcorrection
______ is used to establish a SD
Reinforcement
Things to consider regarding behavior treatment
-Effectiveness
-Intrusiveness
-Possible harmful side effects
-May mean delaying intervention temporarily
Mean or median rate within a phase.
Level
An experimental design in which replications involve baselines of differing duration and interventions of differing starting times (when behavior is stable at first baseline). Can be across participants, settings, and behaviors. Usually done when a reversal design is not appropriate.
Multiple-baseline design
Reinforcing one set of responses and extinguishing another set of responses.
Differential Reinforcement
_____ _____ is a discrimination in which the reinforcement of responding during a stimulus depends on, or is conditional upon, other stimuli
Conditional Discrimination
3 fundamental questions of ethical practice
1. What is the right thing to do?
2. What is worth doing?
3. What does it mean to be a good behavior analyst?
A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of time. A response is recorded as concurring if it occurred at all during the interval. Reported as percent of intervals.Tends to overestimate occurrence of behavior.
Partial-interval recording
A motivating operation that decreases the value of a reinforcer
Abolishing Operation (AO)
A temporary recovery of the extinguished behavior.
Spontaneous recovery
According to the _____ ___, behavior matches reinforcement distribution
Matching Law
4 pillars of ethical, responsible professional behavior
1. Boundaries
2. Confidentiality
3. Professionalism
4. Do no harm
(# of intervals of 100% IOA) / # of intervals x 100
This occurs when the learner continues to perform the target behavior after the intervention has been terminated
Maintenance
An approach to explaining behavior that assumes that a mental, or "inner," dimension exists that differs from a behavioral dimension and that phenomena in this dimension mediate behavior.
Mentalism
