Week 5 Flashcards
(18 cards)
The likelihood that a target behavior will occur in a given circumstance; computed by calculating (a) the proportion of occurrences of behavior that were preceded by a specific antecedent variable and (b) the proportion of occurrences of problem behavior that were followed by a specific consequence.
a) conditional probability
b) indirect functional assessment
c) functionally equivalent
d) contingency probability
a.) conditional probability
Serving the same function(s) or purpose.
a) functionally equivalent
b) response equivalency
c) reinforcer equivalency
d) contingency reversal
a.) functionally equivalent
A graphic display of the probability of one event given the occurrence (or not) of another event.
a) contingency space analysis
b) conditioned stimulus
c) conditioned reinforcer
d) reinforcer equivalency
a.) contingency space analysis
Intrusive, coercive, or punishment-based interventions.
a) reinforcement
b) stimulus
c) contingency reversal
d) default technologies
d.) default technologies
Encompasses direct observation of behavior under naturally occurring settings.
a) environment
b) artifact
c) descriptive functional behavior assessment
d) behavioral checklist
c.) descriptive functional behavior assessment
An observer records occurrences of the targeted problem behaviors and selected environmental events in the natural routine during a period of time.
a) negative reinforcer
b) ABC continuous recording
c) conditioned reflex
d) conditioned reinforcer
b.) ABC continuous recording
A procedure for recording the extent to which a target behavior occurs more often at particular times than others.
a) scatterplot recording
b) ABC continuous recording
c) neutral reinforcer
d) partial-interval recording
a.) scatterplot recording
The first level of scientific understanding that involves conducting observations and obtaining a collection of facts about the observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined.
a) description
b) verification
c) prediction
d) control
a.) description
A second level of scientific understanding occurs when repeated observations reveal that two events consistently covary with each other.
a) description
b) prediction
c) control
d) artifact
b.) prediction
Encompasses a wide variety of procedures for detecting and recording the number of times a behavior of interest occurs.
a) antecedent
b) event recording
c) timing
d) time sampling
b.) event recording
Occurs when the behavior that is measured is the same as the behavior that is the focus of the investigation.
a) direct measurement
b) continuous measurement
c) discontinuous measurement
d) time sampling
a.) direct measurement
A schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for the first response emitted following the passage of a fixed duration of time since the last response was reinforced.
a) whole-interval recording
b) fixed interval
c) fixed ratio
d) variable interval
b.) fixed interval
A situation in which reinforcement is available only during a finite time following the elapse of an FI or VI interval.
a) interval DRL
b) variable ratio
c) limited hold
d) interrupted chain procedure
c.) limited hold
An energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells.
a) discontinuous measurement
b) relational frame
c) stimulus
d) response
c.) stimulus
A functional assessment method in which environmental events (antecedents and consequences of the behavior) are manipulated to demonstrate a functional relationship between the environmental events and the behavior.
a) contingency contract
b) contingency reversal
c) contingency space analysis
d) functional analysis
d.) functional analysis
The results of measurement, usually in quantifiable form.
a) hypothetical construct
b) Data
c) extraneous variable
d) response
b.) data
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus.
a) stable baseline
b) control
c) stimulus control
d) spontaneous recovery
c.) stimulus control
A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions.
a) stimulus class
b) steady state strategy
c) stable baseline
d) stimulus-stimulus pairing
a.) stimulus class
