25
what is mands?
requests (demand)
26
what is tacts?
speaker names things and actions that they have direct contact with (labels)
27
what are the types of continuous measurement?
count, rate, frequency, duration, interresponse time, latency (CLIFRD)
28
what is count?
a simple tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior. The observation period or counting time should always be noted.
29
what is rate?
number of responses per unit of time (1 per min)
30
what is frequency?
used interchangeably with rate and count (frequency = rate)
31
what is duration?
measure the length of time the behavior lasts from beginning to end
32
what is interresponse time (IRT)?
the time in between responses
33
what is latency?
the time it takes to initiate a behavior or response after the SD
34
what is the type of discontinuous measurement?
whole interval, partial interval, momentary time sampling
35
what is whole interval recording?
you divide the time you are measuring in equal intervals. and ONLY document that the behavior happened if it happened during the entire time of the interval
36
what is partial interval recording?
you divide the time you are measuring in equal intervals. and you document that the behavior happened if it happened at any time of the interval
37
what is momentary time sampling?
you divide the time you are measuring in equal intervals. and you are ONLY documenting that the behavior happened if it happened in the last second of the interval
38
what are the type of contingencies of reinforcement?
unconditioned and conditioned
39
what is unconditioned contingencies of reinforcement?
reifnorcements that are already in our DNA (food, water, shelter)
40
what is conditioned contingencies of reiforcement?
something that has been previously learned, or taught (helps keep kiddo engaged)
41
what is fixed ratio?
youll reinforce the correct response after a fixed number of responses
42
what is a fixed interval?
youll reinforce in the first correct response after a fixed amount of time
43
what is variable ratio?
reinforce the first correct response after a variable number of responses
44
what is a variable interval?
reinforce the first correct after a variable amount of time
45
what are the 3 hierachies of prompting?
least to most, most to least, errorless
46
what is least to most prompting?
we start prompting from the least intrusive prompt to the most intrusive prompt
47
what is most to least prompting?
we start prompting from the most intrusive prompt to the least intrusive prompt
48
what is errorless prompting?
starting with the level of intrusive prompt that guarantees success
49
what is stimulus control?
is said to occur when an organism behaves in one way in the presence of a given stimulus and another way in its absence
50
what is stimulus transfer?
occurs when a reponse is elicited due to an SD and a prompt and then over time we fade the prompt so that just the Sd has control
51
what is generalization?
when a behavior that we learned in a specific way can also be executed correctly in a different condition or setting (location, people, stimuli)
52
what is discrimination teaching?
the process of teaching an individual to differentiate between 2 of more different stimuli.
53
what is shaping?
the process of teaching a skill/behavior by reinforcing small approximations to the ultimate goal.
54
what is a token economy?
a behavior change system that uses conditioned reinforcers to reinforce target behaviors for access to a more powerful reinforcer
55
what are the types of differential reinforcement?
alternative behavior (DRA), other behavior (DRO), incompatible behavior (DRI)
56
what is DRA?
differential reinforcement of alternative behavior is delivering reinforcement when the patient engages in alternative behavior and places the targeted problem behavior or extinction (do this instead)
57
what is DRO?
differential reinforcement of other behaviors is when patients do not engage in targeted problem behavior at all for a specific time interval (dont do this)
58
what is DRI?
differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior is when the patient engages in behavior that is incompatible with the target problem behavior and is placed on extinction (do this so you can't do that)
59
what is an indirect assessment?
questionnaires, checklists, or interviews
60
what is non-contingent reinforcement?
when a learned doesn't need to "earn" a reinforcement
