Question 1

What are examples of direct measurement techniques?

Answer 1

Event Recording
Duration
Interval Recording
Time-sampling recording

Question 2

What is event recording?

Answer 2

Behavior is observed continuously and documented as it occurs

*think.. does behavior look same each time?
does behavior have beginning or end?

Question 3

When is it best to use frequency recording?

Answer 3

Behaviors that have a clear beginning and end
Example (raising hand)
Bad example (tantrums)

Question 4

How do you measure rate?

Answer 4

Frequency divided by time

Question 5

What is duration and Latency Recording

Answer 5

How long a behavior occurs

Question 6

How long behaviors last from beginning to end

Answer 6

Total duration

Question 7

How long the time is between the SD and response

Answer 7

Latency

Question 8

Checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at any point within the interval
Could overestimate behavior occurrence

Answer 8

Partial Interval recording

Question 9

observing if a behavior occurs during the whole interval
it underestimates behaviors

this could be used for wanting to increase a behavior such as participation in a game

Answer 9

Whole interval Recording

Question 10

Momentary time sampling is…

Answer 10

Only observe some intervals and record if the behavior occurs during that moment

Question 11

In graphing, the x axis is used to label…

Answer 11

unit of time

Question 12

In graphing, the y axis is used to label…

Answer 12

dependent measure

Question 13

What is a phase line?

Answer 13

change in conditions

*Baseline to treatment

Question 14

What are the functions of behavior?

Answer 14

Attention
Gain item/activity
self-stimulation
avoid task or aversive situation

Question 15

What are examples of behavior intervention strategies?

Answer 15

Antecedent Interventions
Replacement Behaviors
Consequence Interventions

Question 16

Consequence Interventions are…

Answer 16

focus on modifying the environment and contingencies that occur after the behavior to increase or decrease behaviors

Question 17

withholding reinforcement from a previously reinforced behavior is…

Answer 17

extinction

Question 18

Not allowing escape from an activity and reinforcing that behavior, the escape behavior will eventually decrease

Answer 18

escape extinction

Question 19

Reduced when desired item/activity is not given

Answer 19

Tangible extinction

Question 20

behavior is maintained by social attention you will need to use what type of extinction

Answer 20

social extinction

Question 21

when you are masking or removing automatic reinforcement this is an example of

Answer 21

sensory extinction

Question 22

Soon after the use of extinction a behavior may first increase and get worse. This is called…

Answer 22

extinction burst

Question 23

When there is a reappearance of a behavior that had previously been diminished, this is called…

Answer 23

Spontaneous Recovery

Question 24

When one behavior is reinforced and strengthened while the other is being decreased, this is called

Answer 24

differential reinforcement

Question 25

Reinforcing an appropriate alternative to the problem behavior and extinguishing the problem behavior through extinction is known as…

Answer 25

Differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors

DRA

Question 26

Behavior that is functionally equivalent to problem behavior and reinforces an incompatible behavior to problem bxs is known as…

Answer 26

Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors

DRI

Question 27

Reinforcing the absence of the problem behavior for a specific amount of time

Answer 27

Differential reinforcement of other behaviors
