Quiz____? Frequency - Answer✓✓ Count of each instance Quiz____? Duration - Answer✓✓ Time spent engaged in single instance of target behavior Quiz____? Latency - Answer✓✓ Time from onset of stimulus to onset of response Quiz____? Continuous measurement procedures -
Answer✓✓ Recording each instance of the target behavior along the selected dimension (Frequency, duration, and latency) Quiz____? Discontinuous measurement procedures - Answer✓✓ Recording a sample of instances of the target behavior according to predetermined schedule (Momentary time sampling, partial interval recording, and whole interval recording) Quiz____? Momentary time sampling - Answer✓✓ Recording occurrence/non-occurrence at a specific point in time Quiz____? Partial interval recording - Answer✓✓ Recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in time in a predetermined interval Quiz____?
Quiz____? Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement - Answer✓✓ Items are presented in an array and the client is instructed to pick one and given time to engage with that item. After the engagement interval, the array is presented again without the already selected item and the client selects again. Process continues until all items are chosen or client stops choosing items. The full array is presented 3-5 times and selection percentage is calculated to give preference gradient. Quiz____? Multiple Stimulus With Replacement - Answer✓✓ Items are presented in an array and the client is instructed to pick one and given time to engage with that item. After the engagement interval, the array is presented again with the selected item returned and the client selects again. Process continues for predetermined number of selection opportunities and selection percentage is calculated. Quiz____? Paired choice - Answer✓✓ Potential reinforcers are presented in pairs (each item paired with each other item) and the client is instructed to select one. All potential pairs are presented and selection percentage is calculated. Requires counter-balancing for positional bias.
Quiz____? Informal Preference Check - Answer✓✓ 2-3 items presented either before starting new task to ensure the client is motivated to complete the work; presentation of 2-3 options to work for upon recognizing decrease in motivation/attention to tasks to re-capture motivation Quiz____? Functional assessment procedures - Answer✓✓ Participates (as trained) to complete relevant elements of assessment to determine the function(s) of challenging behavior occurring during therapy sessions. Quiz____? ABC Data - Answer✓✓ Data recorded on the immediate antecedent and consequence for observed instances of target behavior Quiz____? Rating Scale - Answer✓✓
Reinforcement - Answer✓✓ The process of providing a reinforcer contingent on the client engaging in a behavior that you want to increase Quiz____? Reinforcer - Answer✓✓ A stimulus (item, activity, statement, etc.) that, when provided immediately after a response, results in an increase in the future frequency of that response Quiz____? Unconditioned reinforcer - Answer✓✓ A stimulus that requires no learning history to have reinforcing value Quiz____? Conditioned reinforcer - Answer✓✓ A stimulus that requires learning history of pairing with other reinforcing stimuli to have reinforcing value Quiz____?
Intermittent reinforcement - Answer✓✓ Only some instances of a behavior result in a reinforcer. Results in greater resistance to extinction. Quiz____? Fixed Ratio (FR) Reinforcement - Answer✓✓ A reinforcer follows a fixed number of responses. Quiz____? Variable Ratio (VR) Reinforcement - Answer✓✓ A reinforcer follows a variable number of responses. Quiz____? Fixed Interval (FI) Reinforcement - Answer✓✓ A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed amount of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement Quiz____? Variable Interval (VI) Reinforcement -
Trails from various tasks/programs are presented in random order for a set number of trials or a set amount of time. Quiz____? Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - Answer✓✓ A stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced. Often used as an alternative term for "instruction." Quiz____? Error correction - Answer✓✓ Planned staff response following client errors to ensure the SD is effectively paired with correct responding. Quiz____? Prompt - Answer✓✓ An additional stimulus paired with the SD/instruction that brings about correct responding. If it doesn't evoke correct responding, it isn't this. Quiz____? Naturalistic teaching procedures -
Answer✓✓ Intentionally setting up teaching procedures to be implemented in the natural context for the skill being targeted Quiz____? Natural Environment Teaching (NET) - Answer✓✓ The planned/contrived use of behavioral strategies in the client's everyday environment Quiz____? Incidental Teaching - Answer✓✓ Implementation of behavioral strategies in the client's everyday environment as opportunities naturally arise Quiz____? Chaining - Answer✓✓ A teaching procedure by which a specific sequence of responses is taught such that the completion of the previous response serves as the SD for the next response
Quiz____? Discrimination Training Procedures - Answer✓✓ Reinforcing or punishing a response in the presence of one stimulus (SD) and extinguishing it or allowing it to recover in the presence of another stimulus (S- delta) Quiz____? Stimulus Control Transfer Procedures - Answer✓✓ Stimulus control, transfer of control Quiz____? Stimulus Control - Answer✓✓ When a particular response occurs more frequently in the presence of one stimulus (or stimuli set) than in the presence of another stimulus (or stimuli set). Quiz____? Transfer of control - Answer✓✓
Performance established at one time in one place now occurs in a different time and place Quiz____? Generalization - Answer✓✓ Performance of a skill trained in one context in additional contexts that share similar stimuli, setting the occasion for skill performance. Quiz____? Maintenance - Answer✓✓ The continued performance of a previously trained skill in the absence of programmed contingencies. Quiz____? Stimulus fading procedures - Answer✓✓ Systematically fading out additional stimuli introduced to teach a skill to transfer control of performance from the ancillary stimuli to the target stimuli Quiz____? Prompt and Prompt Fading Procedures -
Behavior Reduction - Answer✓✓ Procedures designed to alter the environment in such ways that increase the likelihood of positive behavior(s) occurring while decreasing the likelihood of negative (i.e., the target) behavior(s) occurring Quiz____? Antecedents - Answer✓✓ Setting conditions before a target behavior occurs Quiz____? Establishing Operations (EOs)/Motivating Operations (MOs) - Answer✓✓ Procedures or conditions that establish value for behaviors previously associated with such conditions. Conditions that increase the value of the reinforcers produced by behaviors previously associated with those conditions. Quiz____? Environmental Enrichment - Answer✓✓ Altering the environment to increase access to reinforcers currently available only contingent on certain behaviors.
Quiz____? Noncontingent Reinforcement - Answer✓✓ Access to the putative/functional reinforcer is available independent of any particular responses/behaviors (i.e., getting the "good stuff" for free) Quiz____? Deprivation - Answer✓✓ Withholding or being without access to a reinforcer, thus increasing the value of accessing that reinforcer Quiz____? Satiation - Answer✓✓ Consuming a substantial amount of a reinforcer, thus temporarily decreasing the value of that reinforcer Quiz____? Differential Reinforcement Procedures - Answer✓✓
Quiz____? Extinction - Answer✓✓ Discontinuing the reinforcer maintaining a behavior, resulting in a decrease of that behavior (due to lack of reinforcement) Quiz____? Attention Extinction - Answer✓✓ No longer providing attention following a behavior that was previously followed by attention Quiz____? Escape Extinction - Answer✓✓ No longer providing escape following a behavior that was previously followed by escape. Quiz____? Extinction Burst - Answer✓✓ An increase in the rate of the target behaviors, as well as other behavioral topographies serving the same function, following the introduction of extinction
procedures. If extinction is implemented with fidelity this is not long-term but may be very intense. Quiz____? Spontaneous Recovery - Answer✓✓ The reappearance of a behavior that was previously extinguished and had not been observed to occur over some stretch of time. Quiz____? Access Function - Answer✓✓ Social positive reinforcement; behavior that is maintained by the presentation of/access to preferred items or activities following instances of that behavior Quiz____? Attention Function - Answer✓✓ Social positive reinforcement; behavior that is maintained by attention provided following instances of that behavior Quiz____? Baseline data -
