Q

Types of Consequences (3)

A
  1. Positive Reinforcement
  2. Negative Reinforcement
  3. Punishment
17
Q

T/F Punishment directly reinforces the desired behavior.

A

False. Punishment is only presented when undesired behavior occurs, so there is no association made with the correct behavior.

18
Q

What are the 2 types of Negative Reinforcement?

A
  1. Escape (eliminate adverse condition)

2. Avoidance (prevent possible adverse condition)

19
Q

Reinforcement can be ____________________ (used for every correct performance) or it can be ________________________ (used for only some correct responses)

A

Continuous; Intermittent

20
Q

What is ABA?

A

Applied Behavior Analysis (also called Lovaas Therapy)

21
Q

What are some types of ABA Interventions (7)

A 
Behavior Modification 
Pivotal Response Treatment
Discrete Trial Training 
Incidental Training 
Shaping 
Task Analysis/Chaining 
Fluency Based Instruction
22
Q

A basic stimulus-response style of intervention; previously mastered materials interspersed with new, errorless procedures

A

Discrete Trial Instruction (DTI)

23
Q

The type of intervention that often occurs in the client’s home, with variation in instructional targets and loose shaping contingencies, playful

A

Pivotal Response Training

24
Q

Intervention that uses the current situation or activity and makes use of natural enforcers, capitalizes on periods of high motivation

A

Incidental Teaching

25
Q

Intervention that uses differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a specified target behavior; one member of a response class is reinforced while others previously emitted are not

A

Shaping

26
Q

A specific sequence of responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition, (e.g., washing hands); reinforcement of preceding response is stimulus for next response

A

Task Analysis/ Chaining

27
Q

The fluid combination of accuracy plus speed that characterizes competent performance

A

Fluency Based Instruction

28
Q

T/F Challenging behaviors are ones that are abhorrent.

A

False.

29
Q

When managing challenging behaviors and considering ABA Interventions, we must:
Describe ___________________;
identify ___________________;
identify ____________________ _____________;
identify ____________________.

A

Challenging Behavior;
Triggers;
Desired Behavior;
Supports

30
Q

What are the 2 different schedules for reinforcement?

A 
Continuous 
Intermittent (fixed ratio, fixed interval, variable ratio, variable interval)
