Q

What is an FBA?

A

17
Q

Generalization

A

The ability to learn a skill in one situation and be able to apply it flexibly to other similar but different situations.

18
Q

NET

A

Natural Environment Training.

20

A type of ABA where learning occurs incidentally and often playfully in natural environments, such as at the bus stop, local playground or during dinner.

21
Q

Prompt

A

A form of assistance or cue given to help the learner complete a task and to increase accurate responding. There are several types of prompts.

A

something used to motivate a learner to complete a task, or engage in a behavior. Can be tangible (toy), social (praise), physical (hugs) etc.
To be considered a reinforcer, the likelihood of future occurrence of the target behavior must increase.

23
Q

Target Behavior

A

The behavior of interest you are trying to increase or decrease. There may be multiple target behaviors being addressed simultaneously, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

24
Q

VI

A

Variable Interval

25
Q

What is VI (Variable Interval)

A

A way of describing a schedule of reinforcement in terms of time intervals. If a learner has a VI of 2-3 minutes, that means that between every 2 and 3 minutes they contact reinforcement.

26
Q

VR

A

Variable Ratio

27
Q

What is VR (Variable Ratio)

A

A way of describing a schedule of reinforcement in terms of a ratio. If the learner has a CR of 4-6, that means between every 4th and 6th response they contact reinforcement.

28
