Q

Behaviour

A

ABA directly measures what people do, it’s observed, measured, and operationally defined

Q

Intensity

A

How much force

17
Q

Latency

A

How long it takes to start

18
Q

Direct observation (4)

A
  1. Continuous recording
  2. Percentage of opportunities
  3. Product recording
  4. Interval recording
19
Q

Continuous recording

A

Record each time behaviour occurs

20
Q

Percentage of opportunities

A

Number of times person did behaviour/number of opportunities, multiplied by 100%

21
Q

Product recording

A

Observe end result, permanent change in environment

22
Q

Interval recording

A

Partial: if behaviour occurs at any point in interval
Whole: if behaviour occurs through whole interval
Time sampling: observed at end of interval

23
Q

IOA

A

Interobserver agreement
2nd independent observer
Must agree 80%
Smaller total/larger total x 100%

24
Q

Baseline patterns (4)

A
  1. Constant level
  2. Constant range
  3. Increasing trend
  4. Decreasing trend
25
Q

Behavioural objective (4)

A
  1. Individual
  2. Target behaviour
  3. Conditions
  4. Criteria
26
Q

Positive reinforcement

A

Contingent presentation of a stimulus immediately following a response that increases the future rate and/or probability of a response

27
Q

Negative reinforcement

A

Contingent removal of a stimulus immediately following a response that increases the future rate and/or probability of a response

28
Q

Discovering Reinforcers (4)

A
  1. Ask person or caregiver
  2. Create survey or checklist
  3. Observe person - Premack Principle
  4. Formal preference assessment (single item, forced choice, multiple stimulus presentation)
29
Q

Motivating Operations

A

Establishing operation: Increase value

Abolishing operation: decrease value

30
Q

Schedules of Reinforcement

A
Continuous Reinforcement
Intermittent Reinforcement
-Ratio
-Interval
-Response Duration
*Can be fixed or variable
*Limited hold
31
Q

Single Subject Research terms (3)

A

Dependent variable: behaviour we want to change
Independent variable: Treatment/intervention
Confounding variable: variable not measured, but affects dependent variable

32
Q

Single Subject Research Designs (4)

A
  1. ABAB (Reversal design)
  2. Multiple Baseline (Subjects, settings, behaviours)
  3. Alternating Treatment
  4. Changing Criterion
33
Q

Discrimination Training

A

Sr+ = positive reinforcement
Sd = Discriminative Stimulus
Sdelta

34
Q

Conditional Discrimination

A

Correct response depends on sample and instruction - more than 1 thing

35
Q

Stimulus Equivalence (3)

A
  1. Reflexivity
  2. Symmetry
  3. Transivity
