FI-10
28
MSWO
Multiple stimulus without replacement
29
FBA
Functional behavior assessment
30
You provide reinforcement to your client for clapping, and ignore him when he hits.
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
31
Withholding reinforcement for a target response
Extinction
32
Time between two successive responses.
Inter-response time
33
Record a + if behavior occurred at any point during the interval.
Partial Interval Recording
34
When attempting to assess the function of a client’s behavior, what is often considered the “gold standard” for experimentally identifying function?
Conducting an analog or naturalistic functional analysis is usually considered the best way to identify function
35
Providing greater reinforcement for better approximations of a target behavior, and placing other behaviors on extinction or on a less desirable reinforcement schedule.
Differential Reinforcement
36
Naming something in the environment Ex: A little boy is playing with his toys in his room. Holding one of his stuffed animal dolls, he looks at it and says “Zebra!” Which elementary verbal operant does this scenario most likely describe?
Tact
37
Count every time it happens (mode)
Frequency
38
How long (length) of behavior
Duration
39
Instruction to response Ex: Takes you 10 seconds to get out of bed
Latency
40
End of one behavior and start to another behavior
Increment Response Time (IRT)
41
Differential response; conversation
Intraverbal
42
Over exposure, less effective; decrease in behavior
Satiation
43
Limited exposure, more effective; increase in behavior
Deprivation
44
An environmental event that alters the effect of a reinforcer; alters the frequency of a behavior
Motivating Operation
45
MO decreases
Abolishing Operations
46
MO increases
Establishing operations
47
Teaching interaction by the child | Ex: child initiates interest in an item, teacher requests collaboration, child responds, teacher provides access
Incidental Teaching
48
Teacher blocks item/activity so the child can initiate for it
Contriving
49
Structural ABA teaching; setting is at a table
Discrete Trial Teaching

Prompt
51
Response based
Ratio
52

Unpleasant, take away
Negative
55
Weakens behavior
Punishment
56
Enough detail so anyone can
Technological
57
Reinforcing gradual changes in behavior
Shaping
58
Something in the environment that either evokes or abates behavior and a signal that reinforcement is available
