9/25 Flashcards
Stimulus that occurs immediately before the behavior
Antecedent
Any observable, measurable act
Behavior
A written description outlining to increase a replacement behavior and decrease the undesirable behavior
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
The immediate result of a given behavior
Consequence
Method of determining if a behavior is operational
Dead man’s test
The length of time between the initiation and conclusion of the behavior
Duration
Withholding reinforcement for a behavior which was previously reinforced
Extinction
Number of target responses counted during an observation
Frequency
Steps in determining why a behavior is occurring
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
Expansion of behavior beyond the conditions set for acquisition
Generalization
Amount or force of a behavior
Intensity
Occurrence of a behavior over time
Maintenance
Providing a desired behavior to prompt an imitation
Modeling
Removing something to decrease the behavior
Negative punishment
Removing something to increase the behavior
Negative reinforcement
Adding something to decrease a behavior
Positive punishment
Adding something to increase a behavior
Positive reinforcement
An added antecedent that brings about a specific behavior
Prompt
Decreases the behavior
Punishment
Increase the behavior
Reinforcement
Stimulus change that increases the future probability of the behavior
Reinforcer
What a person can do
Repertoire
Teaching new behaviors through differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior
Shaping
Basic unit in the analysis of operant behavior (A-B-C)
Three-term contingency
