Term
|
Definition
| The time between a stimulus event and a response |
|
|
Term
| The difference between positive and negative |
|
Definition
| Addition vs removal of stimulus contingent on a behavior to increase likelihood that the behavior will occur |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The most effective method (ie produces most accurate findings) to determine the functional cause of a behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Required for the identification of a functional relation |
|
|
Term
| How to establish stimulus control |
|
Definition
| Reinforcing a response in the presence of a particular stimulus and not others |
|
|
Term
| Partial interval recording |
|
Definition
| An interval is scored if behavior occurs at any point within the interval |
|
|
Term
| How does respondent conditioning occur |
|
Definition
| A conditioned stimulus elicits a conditioned response after being paired repeatedly with an unconditioned stimulus |
|
|
Term
| The four criteria for an operational definition |
|
Definition
| Clear, concise, complete, and objective |
|
|
Term
| What are the reasons to have an objective, clear, complete, and concise definition of behavior? |
|
Definition
| It assists in the consistency of implementation of interventions, it assists in consistency of evaluation of treatments, and it assists in replication of research |
|
|
Term
| When is a behavior more likely to be reinforced? |
|
Definition
| In the presence of a discriminative stimulus |
|
|
Term
| Describe how operant behavior is strengthened and weakened |
|
Definition
| It it strengthened when it is followed by a reinforcing consequence, weakened when the reinforcing consequence no longer follows the behavior (extinction) [DON’T SAY PUNISHMENT] |
|
|
Term
| The seven dimensions of ABA |
|
Definition
| Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, conceptually systematic, effective, and generality |
|
|
Term
| Definition of functional analysis |
|
Definition
| The quantitative direct observation of behavior and pre-selected controlled conditions. This analysis is objective and determines causation but is time consuming (only the controlled environment part – the rest is a functional assessment) |
|
|
Term
| The three major components of ABA |
|
Definition
| Applied, Behavioral, and Analytic |
|
|
Term
| What is topography of a behavior? |
|
Definition
| The form or shape of a behavior – what a behavior looks like |
|
|
Term
| What is a conditioned reinforcer? |
|
Definition
| These reinforcers have come to become reinforcers because of their repeated pairings with unconditioned reinforcers |
|
|
Term
| What is the purpose of behavioral assessment? |
|
Definition
| To figure out what the problem is and how to change it for the better |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A specific instance of a particular behavior |
|
|
Term
| What is momentary time sampling? |
|
Definition
| An interval is only scored if behavior occurs at the time an interval elapses |
|
|
Term
| Four major methods for obtaining behavioral assessments information |
|
Definition
| Interviewing the client, interviewing others, testing, and direct observation |
|
|
Term
| Why is it important to have good operational definitions of behavior? |
|
Definition
| To ensure that the data is valid and reliable |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A stimulus change following a response that increases the likelihood of the response |
|
|
Term
| What are the three main components of visual analysis? |
|
Definition
| Trend, level, variability |
|
|
Term
| SD R SR this is what and how does it establish stimulus control? |
