Q

Whole Interval

A

To measure behaviors that occur continuously over a period of time

Ex: Observing a child playtime behavior by recording if the child plays with a specific toy for the entire 3 min interval

23
Q

Partial Interval

A

Data collection method used in ABA to observe if a behavior occurs at any point within a specific time interval

24
Q

Momentary Measuring

A

Measuring and analyzing behavior

Ex: measuring how often a student falls asleep during a lecture. the professor checks if the students head is don at the end of a 15 min interval

25
Q

Intraverbals

A

Verbal responses to other verbal stimuli that are not exactly the same as the original stimuli

Ex: Answering questions, telling stories, recalling memory, small talk, fill in responses

26
Q

Continuous Measurement

A

method used in ABA to track every instance a behavior over a specified period of time

Ex: counting how many times a child raises their hand in class

27
Q

Discontinuous Measurement

A

A data collection method used in ABA to estimate the occurrence of behavior within specific time intervals

Ex: partial and whole interval

28
Q

ABC data

A

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

29
Q

Antecedent

A

Event, action or circumstance that occur before behavior

30
Q

Behavior

A

Observable measurable actions or reaction of individual

31
Q

Consequence

A

The action or response that follows the behavior

32
Q

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

A

A structured teaching method used i ABA that breaks down skills into smaller components and teaches them one by one

Ex: a trainer might ask a child to point to red object and reward them for a correct response. they can then move onto yellow and eventually ask the child about both colors

33
Q

Positive Reinforcement

A

Involves adding something desirable or enjoyable after a behavior

Ex: a snack, verbal praise, or a toy

34
Q

Negative Reinforcement

A

This involves removing or stopping something undesirable after a behavior

35
Q

Differential Reinforcement

A
36
Q

Contingent Reinforcement

A

This involves selectively reinforcing desired behavior while withholding reinforcement for undesired behavior

37
Q

Non- Contingent Reinforcement

A

This involves giving a reward regardless of task completion

38
Q

Operational Definition

A

A clear concise and measurable description of a behavior

39
Q

Motivation Operations

A

Events that can encourage or prevent a specific behavior

40
Q

Fixed Ratio

A

Reinforcement after a constant number of correct responses

41
Q

Event Recording

A

Number of times a target behavior occurs and a time period

42
Q

Deprivation

A

not having something often enough and in
return increases the effectiveness of it when used as a reinforcer

43
Q

FOB: Automatic/Sensory

A

providing self-stimulation and is
automatically reinforced

44
Q

FOB: Escape

A

avoiding or escaping a demand or undesirable task

45
Q

FOB: Attention

A

can be socially mediated and seeks attention in
any way from others;

46
Q

FOB: Access

A

tangible, wanting a preferred item

47
Q

Echoic

A

verbal imitation; repeating the speaker

48
Q

Error-less Teaching

A

prompt the correct response as soon as
you give the Sd. Essentially, you are not giving the client a
chance to make an error.

49
Q

Functions of Behavior (FOB)

A

Used when determining why an
individual engages in certain behavior. ABA identifies 4
functions of a behavior: Escape, Access (tangibles), Attention
and Sensory (automatic reinforcement).

50
Q

Imitation

A

Copying someone’s motor movements

51
Q

Latency

A

The time between when the Sd is presented, and
the response is given.

52
Q

Prompt Fading

A

gradually removing prompt levels needed or
fading out the intrusiveness.

53
Q

Discriminative Stimulus (SD)

A

a cue that signals reinforcement
is available if the subject makes a particular response
(Demand or Instruction).

54
Q

Generalization

A

change occurs when that behavior occurs
outside of the learning environment. Generalization can
happen across settings, time and across people and exists
when the behavior occurs in these various environments.

55
Q

Forward Chaining

A

Teaching skill steps one at a time from the
first step to the last and prompting all steps after the step
being taught. Reinforcement after teaching step and at the
