actual final Flashcards
applied
social importance
behavior
observable events
analysis
functional relationships
generailty
maintenance, durable over time and situations
conceptually systematic
everything relates back to the same basic principe
technology
all aspects fo the experiment are well and clearly defined
effective
significant behavior change (like if the results actually significant)
functional relations
IV, DV, reliability, validity… etc
Reliability:
not repeating events, but repeating the same measurement
validity
accurately showing results
Total agreement formula
reliability= smaller/larger
interval agreement
reliability= number of agreements/ total intervals (agreeing that behavior occurred)
exact agreement
reliability= number of EXACT agreements (agreeing that the number of behaviors occurred)
which reliability calc is the most precise?
proportional
experimental design types
AB reversal multiple baselines multi elemental changing criterion
AB
not really a legit design bc it doesn’t show experimental control
Reversal
alternating between treatments
multiple baselines
can have different subjects, behaviors, etc.
changing criterion
goal setting (like reducing cigarettes), decreasing graph data points
multi elemental
switching back and forth between multiple conditions, multiple times, rapidly.
Like if multiple base lines and reversal had a baby
six points of a graph
axis units data points phase change line phase change labels axes
frequency plot
data for each individual session, graphed separately
cumulative record
each data point is added on from the previous point
Reinforcement
a stimulus change that strengthens behavior based on a contingent response, if then statement
Ratio schedules
number of responses dictates a reinforcer
interval schedules
if behavior is shown after a certain amount of time, reinforcement is given
ex of variable interval
checking on phone– a certain amount of time that passes (that changes) gives the reward of a new notification
extinction
withholding reinforcer to weaken behavior
what kinda behavior is hard ot get rid of?
behavior with automatic Sr,
Operant extinction:
consequences of behavior, what happen after the behavior is important
respondent extinction :
presenting the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus
antecedent manipulation types
EO, stimulus control
Stimulus control types
Discriminative, Sd, S delta
Sd
if behavior occurs, then there is a reinforcement
S delta
if behavior occurs, reinforcement is not given
establishing operations
makes the stimulus more effective
EO categories
deprivation and aversive stimulation
EO mainipulation
remove and create
effects of EO
momentary value of Sr increase, and probability of R is increased.
Generalization types
stimulus and resposne
stimulus generalization
same response, different stimulus
response generalization
same stimulus, different response
ex of stimulus generalization
kid hits mom for attention, and begins to hit dad for attention .
ex of response generalization
kid who hits mom for attention begins to spit on mom
functional analysis
identify the maintaining varible (source of reinforcement) for a behavior
methods for conducting functional analysis assessments
indirect, descriptive, and functional
indirect
attempts to gather behavior without direct observation
descriptive
direct observation of behavior
