(26 cards)
What is Duration in behavior analysis?
The amount of time that someone engages in a behavior.
What does Echoic refer to?
Verbal imitation; repeating the speaker.
What is Error Correction (ECTER)?
When a client makes a mistake on a target that has been previously mastered, do NOT acknowledge the mistake. Re-present the trial and be ready to prompt to get a correct answer.
What are the steps for Error Correction (ECTER)?
- Error - child touches car when prompted to touch bike
- Correction - represent the Sd with prompt
- Transfer - represent the Sd without a prompt
- Expand - place easy/mastered demands
- Return - return to Sd of incorrect response: ‘touch bike’ reinforcement is provided for correct response.
What is Errorless Teaching?
Prompt the correct response as soon as you give the Sd. Essentially, you are not giving the client a chance to make an error.
What is an Establishing Operation?
Increases the current effectiveness of a stimulus. Usually deprivation is associated with this operation.
What are the Ethics in behavior analysis?
Must follow the BACB’s code of ethics. Failure to follow the mandatory code of ethics can lead to loss of employment and certification.
What is Expressive Language?

What is Extinction?

What is an Extinction Burst?
The increase in frequency and/or intensity of behavior in the early stages of extinction.
What is Fixed Interval (FI)?
This schedule of reinforcement is used for a set amount of time.
What is Fixed Ratio (FR)?
This schedule of reinforcement is used for a set amount of responses.
What is Forward Chaining?
Teaching skill steps one at a time from the first step to the last and prompting all steps after the step being taught.
What is Frequency in behavior analysis?
The amount of times, or count, a behavior or response happens.
What is a Functional Behavioral Assessment?
The process by which behavioral interventions are created to determine the function of a behavior and create an intervention based on that function.
What is a Functional Relationship?
How a person’s behaviors change the world around him/her, and how those changes affect the future likelihood of the same behaviors.
What are the Functions of Behavior?
Used when determining why an individual engages in certain behavior. ABA identifies 4 functions: Escape, Access (tangibles), Attention, and Sensory (automatic reinforcement).
What is Generalization?
Change occurs when that behavior occurs outside of the learning environment.
What does HIPAA stand for?
