ABa Flashcards
Fixed Interval
FI
FI
Reinforcer delivered after the first response after a fixed amount of time has elapsed. Produces a scalloped rat of responding
Fixed Schedule
The value ( resonses/time) remians exactly the same
fixed ratio
Reinforcer delivered after fixed number of responses. Produces steady, high rate of responses with pauses after reinforcement
frequency
the amount of times a behavior occures
fT- fixed time
a reinforcer is delivered after a fixed time, irrespective of behavior
function
the effect of a response on the environment
fixed ration
FR
forward chaining
teaching a sequence of response by initially training the fitst response of the chain and then the second third etc
experimentation
systematic manipulation of an independent variabe
fading
the gradual withdrawl of prompts, such that the SD alone evokes the desired behavior
event recording
of occurrences of aa response are recorded
extinction side effects
extinction burst, emotional behavior, aggression, increase in variety of topographies, increase in intensity of behavior
establishing operant
Type of Mo’s Increase value of reinforcer/punisher ( consequence) and evokes behavior that have been reinforced/punished by it in the past
extinction burst
short term effect of extinction: increase in frequency or magnitude, topography change and emotional responding
