Question 1: Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates
Answer:
Reinforcement provided at the end of an interval if if the number of responses is below a certain criteria (decreases over time)
Question 2: Stimulus-Stimulus Pairing
Answer:
Two stimuli are presented at the same time - usually repeatedly resulting in one stimulus aquireing the function of the other
Question 3: Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors
Answer:
Reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during specific times
Question 4: Parametric Experimental Design
Answer:
The value of the IV is changed but it is not removed
Question 5: Successive Approximaions
Answer:
Sequence of new response classes that emerge during the shaping process as the result of differential reinforcement
Question 6: Social Validity
Answer:
A progam is socially valid if it helps the learner in their natural environment
Question 7: Transitivity
Answer:
Stimulus equivalence
A=B B=C A=C
Question 8: Nonparametric Experimenal Design
Answer:
IV either present or absent during study (baseline and one IV)
Question 9: Phases of Intervention
Answer:
A PIE Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation
Question 10: Unconditioned Punisher
Answer:
Stimulus change that decreases any bx that precedes it without a learning history - primary/unlearned also
Question 11: Variable Interval DRO
Answer:
Reinforcement is available at the end of a variable interval for the absence of problem behavior
Question 12: Value Altering Effect
Answer:
Alteration in reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus as a result of an MO
Question 13: Rule Governed Behavior
Answer:
Behavior controlled by a rule; enables human behavior to come under indirect control of temporarily remote/improbable but potentially significant consequences
Question 14: Elements of Behavior
Answer:
- individual
- continuous 3.determined
- extrinsic
ICED
Question 15: Stimulus Equivalence
Answer:
Emergence of accurate responding to untrained and non reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations
Question 16: Tact
Answer:
Evoked by nonverbal descriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement
Question 17: Discontinuous Measurement
Answer:
Way of collecting data where some instances of the response class may not be detected (time sampling)
Question 18: Radical Behaviorism
Answer:
Attempts to understand all human behavior including private events (thoughts/feelings) in terms of controlling variables
Question 19: Partial Interval Recording
Answer:
Time sampling; mark yes if behavior occurs at any point in the interval
Question 20: Degree
Answer:
Extent of variability of data points around trend (gradual/steep)
Question 21: Time Sampling
Answer:
Measurement of the presence or absence of a bx in specific time intervals - use with continuous/high rate bxs
Question 22: Response Cost
Answer:
Contingent loss of reinforcers producing a decrease in the frequency of bx before it - negative punishment
Question 23: Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment
Answer:
AKA forced choice Present two stimuli and record which was chosen. Every pair must be presented
Question 24: Postreinforcement Pause
Answer:
Absence of responding for a period of time following reinforcement; common in fixed schedules
Question 25: Data Collection Methods for Descriptive FBA's
Answer:
ABC Continuous/ ABC Narrative / Scatterplot
Question 26: Event Recording
Answer:
Measurement procedure for obtaining a tally or count of the number of time a behavior occurs
Question 27: Multiple Schedules of Reinforcement
Answer:
2+ basic schedules of reinforcement in an alternating (usually random) sequence; Sd associated with each one
