Measurement
Tallying/counting how many times that a behavior occurs.
What is frequency?
An antecedent intervention where the R/BT initially decreases the amount of work that you ask the learner to do.
What is demand fading?
A procedure in which you reinforce successive approximations to a behavior, in order to create new forms of behavior
What is shaping?
A consequence of a behavior that involves adding something to the learners environment which increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.
What is positive reinforcement?
Refers to using a body part or an item to make forceful physical contact with another person. Examples: hitting, kicking, slapping, and punching.
What is aggression?
Recording how long a behavior occurs from start to finish.
What is duration?
An antecedent intervention where you let the learner choose aspects of the activity such as what to write with, math or ELA, at their desk or in a beanbag, or by themself or with adult support.
What is choice?
Visual, verbal, gestural, modeling, partial physical, full physical.
What is least to most prompting?
A consequence of a behavior that involves removing something from the learners environment which increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.
What is negative reinforcement?
Refers to leaving the designated area without permission from an adult. Examples include: running off behind shrubs/bushes, running onto the track without waiting for an adult, and leaving the classroom.
What is elopement?
Recording whether the behavior occurred or did not occur within a set interval of time.
What is partial interval recording?
An antecedent intervention that involves asking the learner to do several easy mastered tasks before asking them to complete a harder/novel task.
What is behavior momentum (high probability sequence)?
_____: initial step in the behavior chain sequence is taught first, all other steps are prompted.
_____: all steps within the behavior chain are prompted by the R/BT other than the final step, which is taught to the learner.
_____: presenting the entire task to the learner and having them complete all of the steps until the chain is learned.
What are the three variations of chaining? (forwards chaining, backwards chaining, and total task chaining)
A schedule of reinforcement where every instance of the learner engaging in a specific behavior results in the delivery of reinforcement.
What is a continuous schedule of reinforcement?
Refers to a forceful displacement of classroom materials or alteration from their original state without adult permission. Examples include: tearing items off the wall, writing on the walls, throwing magazines, and tossing calculators.
What is property destruction?
Recording whether a behavior occurred for the entire duration of the interval.
What is whole interval recording?
An antecedent intervention where the learner is told what behaviors are expected and what behaviors to engage in before entering the environmental context. For example: "Wren, when we transition to the gym we need to have safe hands. Show me safe hands. Okay let's go to the gym."
What is precorrection? (priming)
A teaching method in which learning trials are presented in quick succession, with a clear beginning and clear end to each trial. The three parts are: the instruction, the learners response, and the consequence (reinforcement or error correction).
What is discrete trial training (DTT)?
A schedule of reinforcement where every instance of the learner engages in a specific behavior sometimes results in the delivery of reinforcement
What is intermittent schedule of reinforcement?
Any instance of engaging in forceful physical contact or using an object to make forceful contact with the self, resulting in a visible mark or bruise. Examples include, biting the self or head banging.
What is self- injurious behavior?
Measuring some physical product that the behavior produced within the environment.
What is permanent product recording?
An antecedent intervention where reinforcement is given to the learner for free (not contingent on any behavior).
What is non-contingent reinforcement (NCR)?
A teaching procedure where skills/identified objectives are taught to the learner through everyday routines or through play.
What are naturalistic teaching procedures?
Quiet voice (just right voice), nice hands, listening ears, kind words, and give space.
What are the behavior expectations?
Refers to behaviors incompatible with following an adult direction. Examples: Continuing to lay on the floor or play on the iPad, turning her body away, transitioning to other areas of the classroom when directed to return to her desk.
What is non-compliance or non-cooperation?
