Week 6 Flashcards
(20 cards)
A functional assessment method involving direct observation of the antecedents, the target behavior, and the consequences of the behavior.
a) ABC observation
b) exploratory functional analysis
c) functionally equivalent response
d) ABC narrative recording
a.) ABC observation
A form of direct, continuous observation in which the observer records a descriptive, temporally sequenced account of all behavior(s) of interest and the antecedent conditions and consequences for those behaviors as those events occur in the client’s natural environment.
a) ABC recording
b) partial-intervention recording
c) time sampling
d) whole-interval recording
a.) ABC recording
The likelihood that a given behavior will occur in a given circumstance.
a) contingency probability
b) conditional probability
c) behavior probability
d) functionally equivalent
a.) conditioned probability
A stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest.
a) consequence
b) antecedent
c) conditioned reflex
d) contingency
a.) consequence
Exchanging the two reinforcement contingencies for two topographically incompatible responses.
a) conditional reversal
b) functional equivalency
c) indirect functional assessment
d) contingency reversal
d.) contingency reversal
Direct observation of problem behavior and the antecedent and consequent events under naturally occurring conditions.
a) preference assessment
b) contingency reversal
c) functional observation
d) descriptive functional behavior assessment
d.) descriptive functional behavior assessment
Behavioral evaluation involving direct observation and recording of the behavior as it occurs.
a) complete assessment
b) direct assessment
c) implicit assessment
d) unstructured assessment
b.) direct assessment
Occurs when the behavior that is measured is the same as the behavior that is the focus of the investigation.
a) continuous measurement
b) indirect measurement
c) direct measurement
d) functional behavior assessment
c.) direct measurement
A systemic method of assessment for obtaining information about the purposes a problem behavior serves for a person.
a) conditional probability
b) functional analysis
c) contingency reversal
d) functional behavior assessment
d.) functional behavior assessment
Occurs when a stimulus change immediately follows a response and increases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions.
a) punishment
b) reinforcement
c) reflex
d) response
b.) reinforcement
A single instance of an occurrence of a specific class or type of behavior.
a) response
b) antecedent
c) experiment
d) repertoire
a.) response
A two-dimensional graph that shows the relative distribution of individual measures in a data set with respect to the variables depicted in the x and y-axis; data points are unconnected.
a) line graph
b) scatterplot
c) semi-logarithmic chart
d) cumulative record
b.) scatterplot
A group of stimuli that all have the same functional effect on a particular behavior. For example, each stimulus in a stimulus class may function as a discriminative stimulus for a particular behavior.
a) stimulus class
b) three-term contingency
c) stimulus control group
d) stimulus category
a.) stimulus class
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) stimulus control
b) stimulus class
c) stimulus-stimulus training
d) stimulus control group
a.) stimulus control
The observer provides instructions or arranges for specific events or activities to occur during the observation period.
a) continuous recording
b) time sample recording
c) unstructured observation
d) structured observation
d.) structured observation
A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it, irrespective of the organism’s learning history with the stimulus.
a) unconditioned punisher
b) conditioned punisher
c) conditioned stimulus
d) unconditioned reinforcer
a.) unconditioned punisher
A stimulus change that increases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it, irrespective of the organism’s learning history with the stimulus.
a) unconditioned punisher
b) unconditioned reinforcer
c) conditioned stimulus
d) conditioned reinforcer
b.) unconditioned reinforcer
The stimulus component of an unconditioned reflex; a stimulus change that elicits respondent behavior without any prior learning.
a) unconditioned stimulus
b) conditioned punisher
c) conditioned reinforcer
d) unconditioned punisher
a.) unconditioned stimulus
A statement of the anticipated outcome of a presently unknown or future measurement.
a) practice effects
b) replication
c) prediction
d) verification
c.) prediction
