Units 1-2
What are the two main components of differential reinforcement?
Extinction and Reinforcement
What are the three critical components of an operational definition?
Objective, Clear, Complete
What are the functions of behavior?
Sensory, Escape, Attention, Tangibles
The process of systematically and differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal behavior
What is shaping?
What does BST stand for?
Behavior Skills Training
Name and describe one differential reinforcement approach
DRA, DRI, DRO, DRL
What does frequency measure?
How many times a behavior occurs
What are the two main components of the FBA process?
Indirect and direct assessment
When would you use a shaping procedure?
To learn a new behavior
One behavior, not a series of behaviors
To reinstate a previously learned behavior that the person no longer engages in
To increase the duration (or magnitude or frequency) of an already occurring behavior
What are the four steps of BST?
Verbal and Written Instructions
Modeling
Practice/Rehearsal
Feedback
What are the basic characteristics of science?
Description, Prediction, Control
What does duration measure?
How long a given behavior occurs (minutes, seconds)
Why do we use behavior analytic supervision?
Application of our science
Task List
Ethics Code
This involves breaking a complex behavior, or series of behaviors, into smaller, teachable components.
What is a task analysis?
What are the prerequisite skills for BST?
The ability to follow instructions and have imitation in their repertoire.
What are the assumptions and attitudes of science?
Determinism
Empiricism
Experimentation
Replication
Parsimony
Philosophic Doubt
What is the difference between overt and covert behavior?
Overt behavior can be observed.
True or False: The 8 hr supervisor training is required to train RBTs.
False! It is required to supervise them, but not to train them.
A specific sequence of responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition. Performance of each discrete response in the presence of the associated stimulus condition serves as an individual component
What is a behavior chain?
Goals for supervisees/trainees must be ______ and include _____ _______.
measurable; mastery criteria
What are the 7 Dimensions of ABA?
Generality
Effective
Technological
Analytic
Conceptually Systematic
Applied
Behavioral
Name one wanted effect and one unwanted effect of extinction
Wanted: behavior decreases
Unwanted: extinction burst, emotional responding, etc.
Define a supervisor
Supervisors oversee individuals who are accruing fieldwork hours to become certified (e.g., trainees) and/or individuals who are providing behavior-analytic services (e.g., RBTs and BCaBAs).
The extent to which a learner continues to perform the target behavior after a portion or all of the intervention responsible for the behavior’s initial appearance in the learner’s repertoire has been terminated
What is response maintenance?
