25
When data plots overlap in y axis
no change in level
26
When data plots show the same angle
no change in trend
27
Mixed and tandem schedules
No Sd
28
FI and FR
post-reinforcement pause
29
Temporal extent
duration
30
If response is incorrect
not considered a prompt
31
DRO
multi baseline, subjects, behaviors, settings
32
Procedural fidelity
treatment integrity, IV is implemented as planned
33
Teaching loosely
randomly changes environmental settings when teaching a new skill
34
component analysis
test two or more IV to identify 1 that has functional relation
35
Discontinuous measurement
artifact
36
PRT Pivotal response training
self-initiation, Koegel, Schreibman
37
Double blind control
neither subject or researcher can identify the presence or absence of the IV
38
Reactivity
demonstrated when the subject is aware that he/she is observed and he/she reacts differently
39
Empiricism
requires a person to conduct an objective observation
40
time delay
between presentation of the Sd and the prompt
41
Cumulative graph
never descends
42
Default technologies
refer to the use of coercive and punitive interventions without elaborating the use of other effective interventions (corporal punishment)
43
tokens
example of backup reinforcers
44
contingent observation
time out procedure
45
x axis
abscissa
46
arbitrary stimulus class
stimuli do not look alike but share the same response, 30 + 5, 3 tens 5 ones, thirty five
47
DTT
only one opportunity to respond
48
Free operant
Unlimited opportunities
49
graduated guidance
physical prompts, systematically
50
High P request sequence
relatively short responses in rapid succession
51
Premack Principle
Low probability followed by high probability, "if, then"
52
DRH
increase at high rate
53
DRD
diminishing behavior reinforcing lower and lower rates of unwanted behavior
54
incidental teaching, in-situ training, naturalistic teaching, non-intensive
Maximizing learning opportunities by creating a rich, intriguing environment that students find interesting and motivating, evoke tacts and mands, primary used for communication skills questions that include the word "environment" are a likely tip-off that Incidental Teaching is involved
55
stimulus generalization
same behavior under differing stimulus conditions
56
response generalization
behaving differently in presence of same stimuli
57
contingency contract
positively stated
58
behavioral contrast
running stop sign in chicago causes ticket so you stop more there but less in Gainesville
59
matching law
twice as often
60
token economies
teach or manage behaviors, steps: select tokens, identify behaviors or rules, select back-up reinforcers, establish a ratio of exchange, write procedures, field test, convenient and effective
61
7 Dimensions of ABA
GETACAB- generality, effective, techological, applied, conceptually systematic, analytic, behavioral
62
Private event
not directly observable
63
FBA
collect information in order to reasonably conclude behavioral function
64
Free operant naturalistic observation to determine potential reinforcers
either duration or frequency based measurement not necessary for both
65
ratio strain
requirements of reinforcement schedule too high, schedule too thin
66
reinforcer preference assessment without replacement
client chooses item and they are not put back in array
67
manipulating Mos
if i want to drink beer, I fill up with water first
68
response prompts
if i want to drink beer i put a note on the fridge saying don't drink that beer
69
MO
haven't showered after a run, so you start running shower water
70
CMOR
water was freezing so you adjust it to comfortable temperature
71
Sd
seeing shampoo on shower bench when taking shower
72
CMOT
things in the way, if you want glass of wine you ave to open it etc
73
Matching law
interval schedule, netflix vs banging BF choice, what is valuable to you right now, double the amount, more effort where you get reinforcement, ratio
74
fixed
set amount
75
variable
on average
76
ratio
responses
77
interval
time
78
Empiricism
Data, facts, objectives
79
Experimentation
control functional analysis
80
Replication
repeatability, believabilty
81
Parsimony
simple
82
