BEHAVIOR REDUCTION Flashcards
Abolishing Operation
This is when something is made less valuable by satiation.
Access
Something in the Environment A person is engaging in behavior to gain something positive in the environment.
Access to Something in the Body
This is sensory behavior. It is engaging in behavior to gain something positive in the body.
Attention Extinction
Also known as planned ignoring. Ignore the behavior and provide no attention for the behavior.
Behavioral Skills Training
Is a researched based training technique.
Choice Giving
The client a choice during therapy, choice increases compliance and provides the learner a sense of control.
Demand Fading
This is a technique where you increase the demand over time; used to decrease behaviors with the function of escape.
Differential Reinforcement
Incompatible Behavior (DRI) Reinforcing a behavior that cannot physically be engaged in at the same time as the maladaptive behavior.
Differential Reinforcing Lower Rates of Behavior (DRL)
This is typically reserved for behaviors that are socially acceptable but may occur too often.
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)
Reinforcing another behavior other than the maladaptive behavior.
Escape Extinction
Do not allow the client to escape. Physical prompt the client into compliance.
Escaping Something in the Body
This is also known as pain attenuation. This refers to engaging in behavior to escape something aversive in the body.
Escaping Something in the Environment
A person engages in behavior to escape something aversive in the environment.
Establishing Operations
This refers to instances when something is made more valuable by deprivation.
High Probability Sequence/Behavior Momentum
Providing 3-4 demands with high compliance (you are sure the learner can and will do them), and presenting the demand with low compliance at the end of the sequence.
Non-Contingent Reinforcement
This is providing reinforcement to a client regardless of behavior. This will act as an abolishing operation on the reinforcer.
Operational Definition
Detailed definition of the behavior in observable terms. Must be thorough enough that any person could read it and understand what the behavior is and begin collecting data on the behavior.
Sensory
Engaging in behavior to gain something positive in the body.
Stimulus Discrimination
Occurs when new stimuli ― similar or not similar ― to the controlling stimulus do not evoke the same response as the controlling stimulus.
Tangible Extinction
Do not provide access to the item during the behavior.
Task Modification
This technique is changing how the client does work. Also used for behavior with the function of escape.
