Behavior Management
A written description outlining how relevant individuals should respond in order to decrease inappropriate behavior and increase appropriate behavior
What is a behavior intervention plan?
RBTs collect this type of data when observing what happens before and after a behavior.
HRE
What is Happy, Relaxed, and Engaged?What is variable ratio?
This term refers to gradually removing any prompts one has introduced into a teaching situation
What is fading?
A stimulus is presented following a given target behavior, this leads to an increase in the future probability of that target behavior
What is positive reinforcement?
Withholding reinforcement from a previously reinforced behavior in an effort to decrease the behavior
What is extinction?
What is chaining? (Task Analysis)
LRFFC
Listener Responding: Feature, Function, Class
Set procedures that are used in the event that the learner responds incorrectly or is non-responsive.
What is error correction?
Reinforcers that consist of interactions with other individuals, i.e. high five, thumbs up, wink.
Reinforcers that consist of interactions with other individuals, i.e. high five, thumbs up, wink.
Reinforcing a behavior that is not able to be done at the same time as the target behavior
What is DRI? (Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior)
Process used to create new behavior by differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a desired behavior
What is Shaping?
FCT
A specific method of instruction where one attempts to teach a task by teaching the last step first and working through a task analysis in reverse.
What is backwards chaining?
A stimulus (usually unpleasant or aversive) is removed following a behavior, leading to the target behavior increasing in the future
What is negative reinforcement?
A safety care strategy used when "help" or "prompt" are unsuccessful or not appropriate, where you withhold attention and just monitor the situation for safety.
What is 5%?
RIRD
This term refers to a prompting and prompt fading strategy where one begins prompting at a level guaranteed to get the response to occur.
What is most to least prompting?
The ratio of responses to reinforcers
What is the schedule of reinforcement?
This is the number one component we think about with regard to responding to a behavior. This is more important than reinforcement or teaching in the moment when a challenging behavior is occurring.
What is safety?
Responding differently to one stimulus vs another
What is discrimination?
SR
Reinforcement (Reinforcing Stimulus)
A structured reinforcement system where individuals earn tokens (stickers, points, chips) for exhibiting specific target behaviors
What is a token economy?
A reinforcer that is effective without any prior learning
What is a primary reinforcer?
