Behavior Change

Question 1

Response Deprivation Hypothesis

Answer 1

a procedure taking the Premack principle to the extreme/next level in which restricting access to the behavior creates an EO for the client

Question 2

Contingency Dependent Antecedent Interventions

Answer 2

SDs (stimulus control), differential consequences for correct or new/alternative behaviors vs. challenging behaviors

Question 3

Contingency Independent

Answer 3

EOs that are antecedents, interventions that do not depend on consequences for target or alt. behavior, EO/AO manipulation that creates an evocative or abative effect on behavior

Question 4

What type of effect does using a high-p sequence have on low probability behaviors?

Answer 4

abative (because it decreases its value due to SR being given for hi-p responses)

Question 5

Behavior momentum

Answer 5

a term used to describe the increase in low-p behavior following the series of high-p requests

Question 6

Functional Communication Training

Answer 6

trains clients to utilize appropriate communicative behavior to replace challenging behavior evoked by MOs

Question 7

Prompt dependence

Answer 7

failure to transfer control of the behavior to the SD from the prompt

Question 8

Response Prompts

Answer 8

operate on the client’s behavior to hint toward the correct behavior, does not change the task or the stimuli

Question 9

Stimulus Prompts

Answer 9

prompts that increase the salience of antecedent stimuli (SD), they call the client’s attention to the stimulus that directs your client’s behavior (construction paper or a clipboard holding a single card while all other cards are just on the table)

Question 10

Stimulus Shape Transformations

Answer 10

Transform the stimulus that controls the response (prompt) into the stimulus that should control the response (SD), systematically and gradually transform the physical shape of the stimulus prompt to behavior the natural SD as the client continues to respond correctly

Question 11

What are the two types of models for imitation?

Answer 11

Planned models (models that are contrived) and unplanned models (models that happen naturally in daily community settings)

Question 12

What are the 5 Steps of imitation training?

Answer 12

1.) Assess and teach any pre-requisite skills
2.) Select approx. 25 models
3.) Pretest models during each session to evaluate the models your client can already imitate
4.) Sequence models for training from simplest-to-hardest
5.) Implement imitation training

Question 13

Symbolic Model

Answer 13

a picture, icon, photo, video, audio, or combo of modalities showing the desired behaviors

Question 14

Differential Reinforcement

Answer 14

Reinforcing those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension and placing all other responses in the response class on extinction

Question 15

Successive Approximations

Answer 15

the gradual and progressive change in criteria that must be met for differential SR. A sequence of response classes that emerge during the shaping process as a result of differential SR. Each successive approximation is close in form to the terminal behavior than the previous response class it replaces

Question 16

Response Differentiation

Answer 16

a response change produced by differential SR during shaping in which reinforced members of the current response class occur more often and unreinforced members occur less often (due to extinction)

Question 17

What are the two types of shaping methods?

Answer 17

Across response topographies, within response topographies

Question 18

What is a behavior change with a limited hold?

Answer 18

A chain that must not only be performed correctly and in order, but also within a specified period of time

Question 19

Derived Stimulus Relation

Answer 19

responding that is defined by the formation of relations that are based on a variety of relations between 2 or more stimuli and this relation is formed without direct training, but as a result of indirect training
