Q

Primary goals of behavior analysis are to (2)

A
  • identify the variables that control & support behavior
    • be able to use that to help improve the lives of ppl we support by using those variables to increase learning on skill areas and decrease problem behaviors

a DTT approach

100
Q

DTT approach

reinforcer

A

-can use any type of reinforcer

101
Q

definition of a discrete trial

A

an opportunity for a response, the response, feedback on the correctness of that response and an inter-trial interval

102
Q

a discrete trial is what type of contingency

A

A; B->C

103
Q

what does it mean to use mixed trials (3)

A
  • rotating through diff types of SDs
  • will imporve stimulus control
  • training in isolation
104
Q

using mixed trial training requires

A

the child to listen to hat you’re saying in order to deliver the correct response

105
Q

traning in isolation (3)

A
  • use multiple exemplars across trials
  • use multiple comparisons within each trial
  • will not ‘confuse’ the learner
106
Q

training in isolation

use multiple comparisons within each trial (4)

A
  • At least 3
  • 1 stimulus does not require discrimination
  • 2 stimuli could result in ‘passing’ score via chance

“do this” followed by action model

114
Q

describe a token economy (2)

learner receives generalized reinforcers, saves them up and can later cash them in for a variety of back up reinforcers

121
Q

In session notes include

Q

mastery criterion

A

-80% for 3 or 90% for 2

125
Q

what is win stay/ lose shift

A

error that occurs due to lack of discrimination. The child will either repeat the last response because it was correct or will shift to a different response because their previous one was incorrect; they will begin scrolling

126
Q

how do you know if the kid youre working with has a side biase

A

they will point to the same area regardless of what was asked

127
Q

how is a side bias/ position bias corrected

A

mixing the placement of items and making sure that items occur in different locations an equal amount of times

128
Q
