Q

DTT

A

a method of teaching in simplified and structured steps. Instead of teaching an entire skill at once, it is broken down and built back up using trials that teach one step at a time.

25
social attention
function of behavior that is motivated by desire for attention from another person
26
tangibles
function of behavior that is motivated by desire for an object
27
escape or avoidance
function of behavior that is motivated by desire to get away from a situation
28
sensory stimulation (stimming)
function of behavior that is motivated by self stimulation --only purpose is as a vehicle for internal pleasure
29
mand
request for reinforcement (verbal, pointing etc)
30
tact
a label
31
echoic
repeating something that is heard
32
intraverbal
a class of verbal operants regulated by verbal discriminative stimuli
33
feature function class (FFC)
used to describe and understand objects further than just their label.
34
ex of a feature, function, and class (use example of an apple)
red, for eating, is a fruit
35
autoclitic
a single unit of verbal behavior (a verbal operant) that depends on other verbal behavior and changes the effect on a listener
36
fading
transferring stimulus control from one stimulus to another
37
forward chaining
teaching the first step of a behavior until it is mastered, then gradually adding (1 and 2, 1 and 2 and 3, so on and so forth)
38
backward chaining
teaching the final step of a behavior until it is mastered, and then gradually working backward to the first step
39
shaping
differential reinforcement of successive approximations of a target behavior until the person exhibits the target behavior
40
task analysis
the breakdown of a task into its individual components and steps
41
motivational operation (MO)
temporarily increases the effectiveness or values of a reinforcer. temporarily increases the behavior that has been encouraged by that reinforcer in the past
42
discriminative stimulus (SD)
a stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced. (signal that reinforcement is available)
43
S-delta
a stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will not be reinforced. (signal that reinforcement is not available)
44
conditioned reinforcement
occurs when a stimulus reinforces set behaviors through its association with a primary reinforcer
45
unconditioned reinforcement
a reinforcement that is inherent, such as food
46
preference assessments
evaluation of child's interests, so that they can be used as reinforcers in the future
47
permanent product recording
the teacher observes the product of a student's behavior and not the behavior itself; the most frequently used method of recording behavior in the classroom
48
frequency
number of behavior instances over time, often used when things do not happen often, like # of tantrums per session
49
duration
the amount of time in which something occurs
50
count
a simple tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior
51
social validity
refers to the extent to which target behaviors are appropriate, intervention procedures are acceptable, and important significant changes in target and collateral behaviors are produced
52
latency
"response ___" duration between the delivery of a stimulus and the response
53
mastery
performing skills at high, successful levels
54
generalization of skills
must occur across various settings, people and stimuli as well as over time. This is a crucial component of skill acquisition
55
maintenance
the endurance of a behavior after the intervention has been removed
56
schedule of reinforcement
a schedule for the delivery of reinforcers for the purpose of increasing or maintaining behavior
57
variable ratio schedule of reinforcement
reinforcement of variables on a random schedule; the last response in an average number of responses will result in reinforcement
58
variable interval schedule of reinforcement
reinforcement of the first response after an average amount of time has elapsed
59
continuous reinforcement
a reinforcer follows each response
60
fixed ratio
a response-based schedule of reinforcement that delivers reinforcement after a fixed number of responses are made
61
fixed interval
schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed interval of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement
62
fixed time
a schedule of reinforcement that is delivered at a certain time, consistently - irrespective of good/bad behavior
63
stimulus discrimination
any event in the presence of which a target behavior is likely to have consequences that affect its frequency
64
prompting
the procedure of providing antecedents that provoke a target behavior
65
prompting hierarchy
the so-called "pyramid" of the various levels of prompting.
66
prompting levels from least to most
a natural cue, a gesture, a verbal prompt, visual, model, and physical contact, either partial or full
67
incidental teaching
creating opportunities that increase child's motivation to learn something, within the natural environment
68
task analyzed chaining procedures
used to break complex tasks into a sequence of smaller steps or actions
