Question 1: Positive Punishment

Answer:

Type 1 Punishment

Question 2: Effective

Answer:

(Dimension of ABA.) Improves behavior in a practical manner, not simply making a change that is statistically significant.

Question 3: 2 Types of Avoidance

Answer:

Discriminated avoidance Free operant avoidance

Question 4: Reinforcement VS. Punishment

Answer:

Use should use reinforcement rather than punishment whenever possible

Question 5: Technological

Answer:

(Dimension of ABA.) Defines procedures clearly and in detail so they are replicable (recipe).

Question 6: Formulas for Setting Initial Criterion for Reinforcement

For increasing Behaviors

Answer:

Baseline Average < Initial Criterion < Highest Performance in Baseline. Avg baseline 200, highest performance 400 eg: 200 avg. baseline <201-400 (initial criterion) <400 highest performance in baseline

Question 7: Behavior Service Delivery

Answer:

Branch of BA. Refers to many people in various fields of work (not BCBAs, BCABAs) implementing ABA within their professions.

Question 8: Environment

Answer:

Complex, dynamic "universe of events" that differs from instance to instance. All behaviors occur within an environmental context.

Question 9: Empiricism

Answer:

(Philosophical assumption/attitude of science) Facts. Objective observation, detailed description, objective quantification of events. Experimental, data-based scientific approach. Draw upon observation and experience.

Question 10: Misconception about Reinforcement

Answer:

Empirical research has shown that when people are given contrived, external reinforcers, this does NOT decrease their intrinsic motivation at all.

Question 11: Positive Practice Overcorrection

Answer:

Replacement Behavior. The individual is required to repeatedly perform a correct form of the behavior for a certain amount of time or certain number of times. Educative.

Question 12: Reinforcement

Answer:

Reinforcement does Not only strengthen rate. Can also strengthen: Duration, Latency, Magnitude, Topography.Question 13: BCBAs refrain from sexual relations with those whom they work with for how many years from when relationship formally ended?

Answer:

at least 2 years

Question 14: Automatic Reinforcement

Answer:

Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others. Naturally produced sensory consequences. Can be negative or positive.

Question 15: Philosophical Assumptions of Behavior/6 Attitudes of Science

Answer:

1) Determinism 2) Empiricism 3) Experimentation 4) Replication 5) Parsimony 6) Philosophical Doubt

Question 16: Conditioned reinforcement

Answer:

products of ontogeny

Question 17: Restitutional overcorrection

Answer:

Repair environment to its original state before the behavior and make it a lot better on top of that.

Question 18: Automatic Reinforcement

Answer:

What looks like automatic reinforcement may not be automatic reinforcement. For example hand

flapping: The function may be attention, escape, and or access to a tangible.

Question 19: Skinner

Answer:

Radical behaviorism 1938 Radical because it included private events.Influenced by Watson, Pavlov, Thorndike, Peirce, James.

Question 20: Adaptation

Answer:

Reductions in responding evoked by an antecedent stimulus over repeated or prolonged presentations.(eg: client no longer reacts to presence of observer, hear funny joke and laugh 1st time but if hear over and over, likely to laugh less)

Question 21: Behavioral contrast

Answer:

A phenomenon in which change in one component of a multiple schedule increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component that is accompanied by a change in the response rate in opposite direction on other, unaltered component of the schedule

Question 22: Overcorrection

Answer:

An individual is required to engage in effortful behavior that is directly related to the challengig behavior.

Question 23: Delayed consequences

Answer:

Are not technically reinforcement, but they can influence behavior.

Question 24: Operant

Answer:

Response-consequence relationship. Similar behaviors that are strengthened or weakened collectively as a result of operant conditioning.

Question 25: Two Types of Negative Reinforcement

Answer:

Escape, Avoidance-(free operant avoidance) (discriminated avoidance)
