1
Q

Analogue FA conditions

A
Control
Attention
Escape from task
Alone
Tangible
2
Q

Analytic

A

Characteristics of ABA. Scientifically based experimental designs are used to assess the effectiveness of interventions under study

3
Q

Antecedent Manipulation

A

Adding or removing antecedents that evoke behaviors. Include MO, SD, response effort

4
Q

Analogue FA

A

Setup conditions to mimic real-life situations

5
Q

Antecedent Manipulations (5)

A

1) Antecedent Control
2) Establishing operation
3) Present SDs for appropriate behavior
4) Remove SDs for inappropriate behavior
5) Increase response effort for inappropriate behavior

6
Q

Applied

A

Characteristic of ABA. Focuses on behavior with social significance

7
Q

Applied Behavior Analysis vs. Experimental Analysis of behavior

A

Both use systematic manipulation and data analysis of individual organisms. ABA: Behaviors of social significance to the person are investigated. EAB: Behaviors of no social significance of the person are investigated.

8
Q

Assumptions/Characteristics of Science

A

1) Determinism
2) Law of Parsimony
3) Scientific Manipulations
4) Empiricism
5) Philosophic doubt
6) Replication

9
Q

Automatic Reinforcement

A

A reinforcer that is produced by the behavior without the participation of other people. For example, echolalia produces a sound that may maintain the bx. It can be positive or negative reinforcement

10
Q

Behavioral

A

Characteristics of ABA. Behavior is a focus, not a hypothetical entity

11
Q

Behavioral Assessment

A

Assessment that examines the persons entire life in order to identify possible causes of the behavior in question. You may use descriptive assessment methods or functional analyses

12
Q

Behavioral Assessment: 2 general kinds

A

1) Functional Analysis

2) Descriptive Assessment

13
Q

Behavioral Assessment : Goal

A

Identify the function of behavior

14
Q

Behavioral Technologies

A

Collection of procedures that have arisen from research and are applied to practical problems by practioners. Ex: Behavioral Momentum is now implemented by many service providers in clinics, schools and homes.

15
Q

Behaviorism

A

Philosophy of behavior that assumes behavior is a function of current and past environments as well as genetics

16
Q

Characteristics of ABA

A

1) Effective
2) Technological
3) Conceptually Systematic
4) Generality
5) Analytic
6) Applied
7) Behavioral

17
Q

Conceptually Systematic

A

Characteristics of ABA. Procedures are tied to the basic principals of behavior

18
Q

Dependent Variable

A

Measure of behavior of interest

19
Q

Determinism

A

Assumption of science. Behavior is caused by some event

20
Q

Discrepancy analysis

A

Compare data with those of norm group to determine change-worthiness of current behavior

21
Q

Divided Attention

A

When attention is diverted to another person and not just withheld.

22
Q

Effective

A

Characteristic of ABA. Attempt to produce large enough effect that has an impact on the persons life.

23
Q

Empiricism

A

Assumption of science. Information is collected by objective observation.

24
Q

Explanatory Fiction/circular reasoning

A

Explaining behaviors by using an entity that lies within the behavior itself. (Eric is aggressive because he has an aggressive trait. Evidence of aggressive trait is his aggressive behavior).

25
Q

Functional Analysis

A

Manipulations of environmental conditions to determine a functional relation between problem behavior and independent variables. Goal is to confirm hypothesis developed in descriptive assessment

26
Q

Functional Analysis best practice: How many controls to use

A

Use one control for each test (pair wise).

27
Q

Functional Analysis best practice: natural vs contrived environments

A

Natural

28
Q

Functional analysis best practice: role of supplemental information

A

to develop an hypothesis

29
Q

Functional Analysis best practice: what to do with tangible condition

A

If descriptive assessment does not indicate behavior occurs to produce tangibles, then don’t include in test conditions

30
Q

Functional analysis models

A

AB and ABC
