What does ABC stand for in behavior analysis?
Antecedent - Behavior - Consequence
Also known as the 3-term contingency.
What is an Abolishing Operation?
Can decrease reinforcer effectiveness, usually associated with satiation.
What does Acquisition refer to in behavior analysis?
A target that is in the process of being taught; this behavior is not yet a known skill.
What are Antecedent Interventions?
Recognizing environmental factors that can attribute to problematic behavior and making changes necessary to promote appropriate behavior.
Define Antecedent in the context of behavior.
Events that occur before a behavior.
What is Backward Chaining?
Teaching skill steps one at a time from the last step to the first, prompting all steps before the step being taught.
What is a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)?
Used for antecedent strategies, responding to maladaptive behavior, teaching replacement behavior, and what interventions to use.
What is Behavior Skills Training?
A procedure consisting of instruction, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and feedback used to teach new behaviors or skills.
Define Behavior.
Anything a person does that can be observed and measured.
What are the 4 Functions of Behavior?
- Automatic/sensory
- Escape
- Attention
- Access
What is Chaining in behavior analysis?
Used to teach multi-step skills defined through task analysis, where each step is linked together.
What is a Consequence in behavior analysis?
Something that follows a behavior.
What is Continuous Measurement?
Records every single occurrence of a behavior.
What is Continuous Reinforcement?
The target behavior occurs and is reinforced after every occurrence.
Define Deprivation in the context of reinforcement.
Not having something often enough, increasing its effectiveness when used as a reinforcer.
What are the 3 Types of Differential Reinforcement?
- DRI (Differential Reinforcement of INCOMPATIBLE behaviors)
- DRA (Differential Reinforcement of ALTERNATIVE behaviors)
- DRO (Differential Reinforcement of OTHER behaviors)
What is the purpose of Discontinuous Measurement?
Used to measure some instances of behavior but not all.
What is a Discrete Trial?
A learning opportunity initiated and controlled by the teacher with reinforcement for the correct response.
What is Discrimination Training?
The procedure in which a behavior is reinforced in the presence of one stimulus and extinguished in another.
Define Discriminative Stimulus (Sd).
A cue that signals reinforcement is available if the subject makes a particular response.
What is a Dual Relationship in therapy?
A situation where multiple roles exist between a therapist and a parent or client.
