Q

UEOSR+

Study These Flashcards
A

UEO related to positive reinforcement

22
Q

CEOSr+

Study These Flashcards
A

CEO related to positive reinforcement

23
Q

Conditioned Motivating Operation

Study These Flashcards
A

A motivating operation whose value altering effect depends on a learning history

24
Q

Surrogate CEO

Study These Flashcards
A

Acquire the properties of an EO through contingent pairing with UEO’s in much the same way that stimuli become S’s through pairing

25
Surrogate CAO
Acquire the properties of an AO through contingent pairing with UAO's in much the same way that stimuli become S's through pairing
26
Transitive CEO
An event that established another stimulus as a necessary condition to complete the response that the first event evokes, and thus established that second stimulus as a reinforcer
27
Transitive CAO
Decrease in the effectiveness of a stimulus as reinforcer and abate behavior which is maintained by the reinforcer whose value has been lowered (decreased).
28
Reflexive CEO
Establishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment
29
Reflexive CAO
Abolishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment
30
Threat CEO-R
An EO for negative reinforcement; evokes avoidance behavior and evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past
31
Threat CAO-R
An AO for negative reinforcement; abates avoidance behavior and abated behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past
32
Promise CEO-R
An EO for negative punishment; abates behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past
33
Promise CAO-R
An AO for negative punishment; evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past
34
Escape
Behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus
35
Negative reinforcement
The onset of painful stimulation establishes the reduction or offset of this stimulation as an effective form of reinforcement and evokes behavior that achieved such reduction or offset
36
ABA practice
The application of the principles of operant and respondent learning derived from the experimental analysis of behavior and the application of methods and procedures validated by ABA researchers to assess and improve socially important human behaviors
37
Outcomes
Life changes that represent a person's aspirations, dreams, and broad preferences
38
Leads to outcomes
Behavior and behavior change
39
Adaptive Behavior
Those skills or abilities that enable the individual to meet standards of personal independence and responsibility that would be expected of his or her age and social group
40
Target Behavior
Any defined, observable, and measurable behavior which is the focus of assessment analysis, and intervention
41
Types of problems with behavior
Skill deficit, problems with strength of behavior, problems with performance, problems with stimulus control, problems with generality, behavior excesseses
42
Reasons for selecting target behavior
Helps individual achieve outcomes, behavior deficit makes the person too dependent on others, behavior is harmful, dangerous or illegal, behavior is controlled by meds or restraints, behavior excludes individual from social situations, behavior interferes with independent functioning
43
Social validity
The treatment goals and the achieved outcomes are acceptable, socially relevant, and useful to the individual receiving services and to those who care about the individual.
44
Characteristics of a good response definition
objective, clear, complete
45
Preliminary assessment
The practitioner gathers basic information about the case, determines if behavioral services are appropriate, and if he/she is the appropriate provider of those services
46
Steps of preliminary assessment
Determine who has the authority to give consent for services; determine whether or not you have the permission, skills, time, and resources to begin assessment; complete intake paperwork or the equivalent (may be done by cleric); Review records and available data; meet client and begin observations; document.
47
Data
The quantitative results of deliberate, planned, and usually controlled observation
48
Datum
Singular form of the term 'data'
49
Characteristics of a good response defintion
objective, clear, complete
50
continuous response measures
Directly measures a dimensional quantity of behavior (direct)
51
Discontinuous response
Do not measure bx directly (indirect)
