Section F Flashcards
behavioral assessment
a variety of methods used to identify and define a behavior of interest
record review
reviewing relevant medical, educational, and historical data that is applicable to the individual
determine need
knowing the risks and benefits of intervention and the individual’s need for the improvement of socially significant behaviors
social validity (in regards to behavior change/goals)
the appropriateness and acceptability of behavior-change procedures and goals are
interviews
a meeting that takes place face to face, or via phone/zoom, to consult on the presenting individual and reason for seeking behavior analytic services
checklists
a list of things that need to be done/completed/reminded
tests
a procedure measurement that allows for performance evaluation regarding a certain topic
direct observation
a method of collecting information and data while watching the subject
indirect observation
the analysis of permanent products
reinforcer assessment
the method used to analyze the effectiveness of a reinforcer as a result of a response
stimulus preference assessment
methods used to determine the individual’s preferred stimuli as well as the conditions in which they are most effective/prefered
free-operant preference assessment
free-roaming in a room full of potential stimuli that the individual would find preferable, then recording the interaction and duration of engagement with each of the items the individual interacts with
multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO)
an array of items are presented, the individual selects the preferred items, those that are not selected are not replaced with new items
multiple stimulus with replacement (MSW)
an array of items are presented, the individual selects the preferred items, those that are not selected are replaced with new items
paired stimulus
providing multiple items, recording the interaction and duration of engagement and identifying which one is more preferable
single stimulus
providing a single item, recording the interaction and duration of engagement
attention
gaining access to one taking notice of you
access to tangibles
gaining access to items or activities
automatic /sensory
engaging in behavior simply because the feeling it provides is reinforcing
escape
avoiding a situation or task
Descriptive functional behavior assessment (FBAs)
direct observation/assessment
functional analysis
experimental manipulation to test the antecedent and consequences in one’s routine to identify a functional relationship
brief functional analysis
a type of FA used when there are time constraints
latency functional analysis
identifies the EO and SD within x amount of time
