BEHP 5012, Units 1-5 Flashcards
Decrease the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer and abate behavior which is maintained by the reinforcer whose value has been lowered (decreased)
Transitive CAO
EO related to negative reinforcement
EO SR-
A decrease in the momentary frequency of behavior
Abative effect
The degree to which an intervention is implemented as described/designated
IV integrity
Any point within the plane of the chart represents a specific relationship between the two variables (dimensions) measured along each of the axis lines
Simple line graph
List 4 considerations in visual analysis of a graph
Level
Variability
Trend
Number of data points
Similar to event recording of a restricted or discriminated operant which has been converted to a percent
Percent occurrence
Baseline is collected on two behaviors; one treatment is implemented for each behavior; in the next phase, treatments are reversed
Reversal design
Vertical axis, represents the range of values of the dependent variable
Y-axis
A mathematical way to calculate trend
Split middle line of progress

6.
- Determine who has the authority to give consent for services
- Determine whether or not you have
the permission, skills, time, and resources to begin assessment - Complete intake paperwork or the equivalent (may be done by clerk)
- Review records and available data
- Meet client and begin observations
- Document
A response terminates a warning stimulus
Signaled avoidance
The repeated and systematic presentation and removal of a treatment and measurement of behavior while holding other factors constant
Single-Case Designs
Major change in the independent variable or a major (usually permanent) change in the environment.
Phase change
The overall direction taken by the data path through a set of data points
Trend
A systematic form of data examination, characterized by visual inspection of graphical displays of those data.
Visual data analysis
A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of time; occurrence is recorded if a response happens during any part of the interval
Partial interval recording
The direction and degree of trend in a series of graphically displayed data points can be visually represented with a straight line drawn through the data
Trend lines
Primarily used in EAB; each response moves the ink stylus one unit (click) along its track. When it reaches the end of the track, it resets to zero and begins moving again, one click at a time. Paper moves under the stylus at a steady rate
Cumulative recorder
Characteristics of a good response definition
Objective, clear, complete
List 4 strategies for minimizing threats to validity
Measurement
Stability
Immediacy
Replication
Amount of time a target behavior occupies (episode or response)
Duration per occurrence
List the steps of event recording
- Record time observation began
- Count the responses
- Record time observation ended
- Divide: Count/unit of time
- Report as rate per unit of time
A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of times; occurrence is recorded if the behavior occurs for the whole interval
Whole interval recording
