Q

what is discontinuous measurement?

A

records a sample of behavior during observation

used in classroom settings, with multiple clients, not observing a behavior often, or its happening too much

easier bc does not need to be recorded for whole session

Q

what is permanent product?

A

tangible item or effects a behavior has on the environment or what is produced as a results of behavior (the result of behavior)

you dont have to observe the behavior, just look at the result and measure that

ex: a client punches wall, the hole in wall is p.p

Q

what do we look for when measuring behavior?

A

observable behavior (what does it look like and what were they doing)

what is the function?

DO NOT BE SUBJECTIVE! BE SPECIFIC!

ex: johnny was aggressive (WRONG) vs johnny hit his brother 5 times (right)

Q

what are preference assessments?

A

they are not reinforcer assessments, just bc client likes it does not make it a reinforcer

used to determine possible reinforcers (what do they like)

25
what are functional assessments?
help determine the cause and effect between the environment and the behavior
26
what are the methods of functional assessments?
direct observation informant / indirect method
27
what is direct observation method of functional assessments?
observer records abc data
28
what is indirect/ informant method of functional assessments?
interviews and questionnaires from parent, friend, caregiver
29
what is functional analysis?
antecedents and consequences are manipulated to understand their effect
30
what is probing?
asking a client to perform a task to assess whether they can do task or not (determining baseline ability)
31
identify the components of a written skill acquisition plan
identify skill to be acquired create a goal to address the skill (ex: 80% accuracy in 3 months) identify measurement procedures gather baseline for skill implement procedures collect and review data modify the plan if necessary, and create maintenance plan
32
how do you prepare for session as required by skill acquisition plan?
read and understand the behavior plan analyze what has happened in previous sessions ask supervisor any questions prepare the environment implement plan
33
what does reinforcement do?
it increases behavior
34
what does punishment do?
it decreases behavior
35
what is a contingency?
if - then statement : NOT a bribe. in a bribe the "then" comes first ex: if you read book, then you get ice cream
36
what is reinforcement?
a stimulus presented following a response or behavior that will increase or maintain their response
37
what are the two parts of reinforcement?
unconditioned and conditioned
38
what is unconditioned reinforcement?
primary reinforcers: no learning history needed ex: food, water, sleep
39
what is conditioned reinforcement?
neutral stimuli that becomes a reinforcer through learning ex: token boards, money
40
what are the two types of reinforcement?
continuous intermittent
41
what is continuous reinforcement?
reinforcement is provided foe each occurrence or behavior typically used to learn a new behavior ex: every time a rat presses a lever it gets a pellet
42
what is intermittent reinforcement?
reinforcement is provided for some occurrences of behavior typically used to maintain established behavior ex: the rat must press the lever three times to receive a pellet
43
what are the schedules of reinforcement?
Fixed Ratio (FR) Variable Ratio (VR) Fixed Interval (FI) Variable Interval (VI)
44
what is a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement?
reinforce at a set number of responses
45
what is a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement?
reinforce a varying number of responses
46
what is a fixed interval schedule of reinforcement?
reinforce a response after a set amount of time
47
what is a variable interval schedule of reinforcement?
reinforce after a varying amount of time
48
what is discrete trial teaching?
structured learning trial with a clear start (SD), target response (prompt it), and end of trial which is the consequence (reinforcement or error correction)
49
what is naturalistic teaching?
taking advantage of having naturally occurring learning opportunities as they appear
50
what is a task analysis?
breaking down complex skills into smaller teachable steps
51
what is forward chaining?
first step is taught and reinforced, then remaining steps are prompted
52
what is backwards chaining?
last step is taught and reinforced, then remaining steps are prompted
53
what is stimulus generalization?
the same behavior occurs across multiple stimuli ex: child screams when they see a white rat, also screams when they see stuffed animals
54
what is response generalization?
different behaviors with the same function occur across one stimulus ex: in the presence of your friend you say "hi", "whats up" , or wave
55
what is an antecedent?
what happens before the behavior can be manipulated
56
what is a motivating operation?
altering the value of a stimulus (deprivation / satiation) ex: you have not eaten in 12 hours, food is a more effective reinforcer
57
what is discriminative stimulus?
cue or stimulus that is present when behavior is reinforced : "the instruction" signals when reinforcement is available
58
what is differential reinforcement?
reinforcing desired behaviors and withholding reinforcement for undesired behavior
59
what are the types of differential reinforcement?
DRI: Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors DRA: Differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors DRO: Differential reinforcement of other behaviors
60
what is DRI?
rewards a behavior that cannot happen at the same time as the unwanted behavior ex: if a child likes to walk around the classroom, you can reward them for staying in their seat
61
what is DRO?
reinforce absence of problem behavior ex: client pulls hair. if client does not pull hair for 3 minutes, they are reinforced.
62
what is DRA?
reinforcing behavior that is alternative to the behavior we want to decrease ex: client screams the answer, instead of raising hand. they are only reinforced when they raise their hand and does not scream
63
what is extinction?
reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued
64
what is extinction burst?
predictable temporary increase in intensity of behavior during extinction
65
how long is data kept for?
7 years
66
what is number one role as an rbt?
to implement !!
67
what are the 7 dimensions of aba?
applied: problems of social importance behavioral: measurable behavior analytic: objective demonstration that the procedures caused the effect technological: interventions are described well enough that they can be implemented by anyone with training and resources. conceptual systems: specific and identifiable theoretical base rather than being a set of packages or tricks. effective : interventions produce strong, socially important effects generality : designed from the outset to operate in new environments and continue after the formal treatments have ended.
