ABA Continued Flashcards
What are examples of direct measurement techniques?
Event Recording
Duration
Interval Recording
Time-sampling recording
What is event recording?
Behavior is observed continuously and documented as it occurs
*think.. does behavior look same each time?
does behavior have beginning or end?
When is it best to use frequency recording?
Behaviors that have a clear beginning and end
Example (raising hand)
Bad example (tantrums)
How do you measure rate?
Frequency divided by time
What is duration and Latency Recording
How long a behavior occurs
How long behaviors last from beginning to end
Total duration
How long the time is between the SD and response
Latency
Checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at any point within the interval
Could overestimate behavior occurrence
Partial Interval recording
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
Whole interval Recording
Momentary time sampling is…
Only observe some intervals and record if the behavior occurs during that moment
In graphing, the x axis is used to label…
unit of time
In graphing, the y axis is used to label…
dependent measure
What is a phase line?
change in conditions
*Baseline to treatment
What are the functions of behavior?
Attention
Gain item/activity
self-stimulation
avoid task or aversive situation
What are examples of behavior intervention strategies?
Antecedent Interventions
Replacement Behaviors
Consequence Interventions
Consequence Interventions are…
focus on modifying the environment and contingencies that occur after the behavior to increase or decrease behaviors
withholding reinforcement from a previously reinforced behavior is…
extinction
Not allowing escape from an activity and reinforcing that behavior, the escape behavior will eventually decrease
escape extinction
Reduced when desired item/activity is not given
Tangible extinction
behavior is maintained by social attention you will need to use what type of extinction
social extinction
when you are masking or removing automatic reinforcement this is an example of
sensory extinction
Soon after the use of extinction a behavior may first increase and get worse. This is called…
extinction burst
When there is a reappearance of a behavior that had previously been diminished, this is called…
Spontaneous Recovery
When one behavior is reinforced and strengthened while the other is being decreased, this is called
differential reinforcement
Reinforcing an appropriate alternative to the problem behavior and extinguishing the problem behavior through extinction is known as…
Differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors
DRA
Behavior that is functionally equivalent to problem behavior and reinforces an incompatible behavior to problem bxs is known as…
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors
DRI
Reinforcing the absence of the problem behavior for a specific amount of time
Differential reinforcement of other behaviors
DRO
