Question 1: listener
Answer:
someone who provides reinforcemtn for verbal behavior Question 2: Functional analysis: Trial-based methods
Answer:
Functional analysis using brief trials in the natural environment. Research has used control-test or control-test-control sequences. DV is latency or % trials with problem behavior.Question 3: Maladaptive behavior: problem with term "maladaptive"
Answer:
It is assumed that behavior is adaptive, as it has a function.
Question 4: Functional analysis on high intensity behavior
Answer:
"1. Look at the latency to the first response in the condition. Then end the condition.
- Or, just study precursors."
Question 5: Reasons why you might need to intervene
Answer:
"A. Danger to self, others
- Safety hazard
- Welfare in current environment
- Behavior problem prevents access to less restrictive environment"
Question 6: Secondary Reinforcer
Answer:
AKA conditioned reinforcer, a stimulus or situation that has acquired itsfunction as a reinforcer after pairing with a stimulus that functions as a reinforcer
Question 7: operant
Answer:
collection of responses that have the same effect on the environment
Question 8: Determinism
Answer:
Assumption of Science. Behavior is caused by some event.
Question 9: applied behavior analysis
Answer:
science of applying principles of behavior to improve socially signficant behavior experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior
Question 10: duration
Answer:
a measure of the total extent of time that a behavior occurs
Question 11: error
Answer:
responding incorrectly beforeor after a prompt or failing to respond within 3 seconds of SD
Question 12: Behavioral assessment: goal
Answer:
Identify the function of behavior
Question 13: mand
Answer:
verbal operant that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement
Question 14: Paired Choice Preference Assessment
Answer:
present pairs of reinforcers and note which is selected. Make sure to pair each reinforcer with all reinforcers once Question 15: Functional analysis: AB model
Answer:
FA in which an EO is manipulated (task vs no task; frequent attention vs low attention). No consequences are presented when behavior occurs.Question 16: Precursors: role in assessment
Answer:
In the case of high intensity behavior, precursors maybe assessed for safety reasons
Question 17: escape contingency
Answer:
contingency in which a response terminates an ongoing stimulus Question 18: Functional analysis review: most common population studied
Answer:
Kids with disabilities
Question 19: Systematic Manipulation
Answer:
Assumption of science. To see if an event affects behavior, the event is systematically manipulated and the effects on behavior are noted.
Question 20: count
Answer:
simple tally of numbe rof occurrences of a behavior
Question 21: Technological
Answer:
Characteristic of ABA. Provides written detail of procedures to permit replication of techniques in other settings.
Question 22: meaning of a word
Answer:
variables responsible for emission (tact, mand, etc)
Question 23: Behavioral Technologies
Answer:
Collection of procedures that have arisen from research and are applied to practical problems by practitioners. Ex: behavioral momentum is now implemented by many service providers in clinics, schools, and homes
Question 24: Response Latency
Answer:
elaspsed time from the onset of a stimulus to the initiation of a response
Question 25: Conceptually Systematic
Answer:
Characteristic of ABA. Procedures are tied to the basic principles of behavior.
Question 26: Functional analysis models
Answer:
AB and ABC
Question 27: echoic
Answer:
verbal operant involving a responses that is evoked by a verbal SD that has point to point correspondence and formal similarity
