Part 4 Flashcards
(21 cards)
A functional assessment method involving direct observation of the antecedents, the target behavior, and the consequences of the behavior.
a) ABA observation
b) ABC observation
c) functionally equivalent response
d) exploratory functional analysis
b.) ABC observation
A form of direct, continuous observation in which the observer records a descriptive, temporally sequenced account of all behavior(s) of interest and the antecedent conditions and consequences for those behaviors as those events occur in the client’s natural environment.
a) time sampling
b) partial-intervention recording
c) whole-interval recording
d) ABC recording
D.) ABC recording
A stimulus change or condition that functions to evoke a behavior that has terminated it in the past, as a punisher when presented following behavior, and/or as a reinforcer when withdrawn following behavior.
a) discrimination stimulus
b) aversive stimulus
c) baseline stimulus
d) conditioned reinforcer
B.) aversive stimulus
A form of evaluation that involves a full range of inquiry methods to identify problematic antecedent and consequent controlling variables.
a) behavioral checklist
b) temporal assessment
c) behavioral assessment
d) artifact
c.) behavioral assessment
A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more punishers.
a) negative reinforcer
b) conditioned reinforcer
c) conditioned punisher
d) conditioned reflex
c.) conditioned punisher
A formerly neutral stimulus change that elicits respondent behavior only after it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
a) conditioned reinforcer
b) negative stimulus
c) conditioned punisher
d) conditioned stimulus
d.) conditioned stimulus
A stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest.
a) conditioned reflex
b) contingency
c) conditioned response
d) consequence
d.) consequence
The state of an organism with respect to how much time has elapsed since it has consumed or contacted a particular type of reinforcer.
a) deprivation
b) punishment
c) contingency
d) unconditioned reinforcer
a.) deprivation
Direct observation of problem behavior and the antecedent and consequent events under naturally occurring conditions.
a) indirect functional assessment
b) descriptive functional behavior assessment
c) preference assessment
d) functional observation
b.) descriptive functional behavior assessment
Occurs when the behavior that is measured is the same as the behavior that is the focus of the investigation.
a) functional behavior assessment
b) direct measurement
c) discontinuous measurement
d) continuous measurement
b.) direct measurement
An operant that occurs more frequently under some antecedent conditions than others.
a) discriminated operant
b) neutral operant
c) indirect operant
d) negative operant
a.) discriminated operant
A stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have occurred and not been reinforced.
a) contingency stimulus
b) discriminative stimulus
c) antecedent stimulus
d) neutral stimulus
b.) discriminative stimulus
The conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism or referred part of an organism exists.
a) stimulus
b) consequence
c) antecedent
d) environment
d.) enviornment
A functional assessment method in which environmental events (antecedents and consequences of the behavior) are manipulated to demonstrate a functional relationship between the environmental events and the behavior.
a) direct assessment
b) functional analysis
c) functional behavior assessment
d) contingency reversal
b.) functional analysis
A systemic method of assessment for obtaining information about the purposes a problem behavior serves for a person.
a) contingency reversal
b) functional behavior assessment
c) conditional probability
d) functional analysis
b.) functional behavior assessment
A decrease in responsiveness to repeated presentations of a stimulus.
a) habituation
b) discrimination stimulant
c) explanatory fiction
d) respondent extinction
a.) habituation
An environmental variable that (a) alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and (b) alters (increases or decreases) the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object, or event.
a) neutral stimulus
b) operant conditioning
c) motivating operation
d) operational stimulus
d.) motivating operation
A type of reinforcement in which the occurrence of the behavior is followed by the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus.
a) negative reinforcement
b) operant conditioning
c) methodological behaviorism
d) positive reinforcement
a.) negative reinforcement
Behavior that acts on the environment to produce an immediate consequence and, in turn, is strengthened by that consequence.
a) operant behavior
b) explicit behavior
c) respondent behavior
d) avoidance behavior
a.) operant behavior
A type of reinforcement in which, contingent on the behavior, a stimulus or event is presented and the probability of the behavior increases in the future.
a) operant conditioning
b) negative reinforcement
c) neutral reinforcement
d) positive reinforcement
d.) positive reinforcement
The observer provides instructions or arranges for specific events or activities to occur during the observation period.
a) continuous recording
b) time sample recording
c) real time recording
d) structured observation
d.) structured observation
