BEHP 5013, Units 1-3 Flashcards
Target stimuli placed closer to the student
Position cue
Antecedent stimulus correlated with the availability of reinforcement. Stimulus that should, after teaching, evoke the correct or an appropriate response.
Discriminative stimulus (Sd)
The parts of items and descriptions of items
Features
These schedules produce higher rates of responding
Ratio schedules
Name the 3 stages of learning
Acquisition stage, Fluency stage, Application stage
Behavior that occurs more often in the presence of a Sd than in its absence is…
Under stimulus control
Discrimination training results in:
Stimulus control
Instruction system which focuses on learner performances as a means to assess interventions as the frequency of responses are tracked and charted on a standardized chart
Precision teaching
Name 2 effective behavioral approaches to measuring education
Direct instruction
U of Kansas behaviora analysis program
Teaching procedures which lead to adduction
Generative instruction
Who originated the metaphor of behavioral momentum?
Nevin
Total number of school days and hours
Available time
Modeling and physical guidance are both:
Response prompts
A technique used to gradually transfer stimulus control from supplementary antecedent stimuli (prompts) to naturally occurring EOs or Sds
Fading
Using differential reinforcement to produce a series of gradual changing response classes. Reinforcement is provided when closer approximations to the correct response occur
Shaping
Name two reasons for selecting a target behavior
- Helps individual achieve outcomes
2. Behavior deficit makes the individual too dependent on others
An Sd acquires its controlling function through association with …
Stimulus changes that occur immediately following behavior
After learning that A=B and B=C, the learner demonstrates that A=C without direct training on that relationship
Transitivity
A response in the presence of an ____ must produce more frequent reinforcement than it does in its absence
Sd
Consequence delivered after every response; typically used to build or strengthen a skill
Continuous (FR1) schedules
Prompts which operate directly on the antecedent task stimuli to cue a correct response in conjunction with the critical Sd
Stimulus prompts
Programmed instruction was developed by _____
Skinner
Which instructional technology is self-paced and presents frames of information, using branching and looping?
Programmed instruction
Direct instruction was developed by _____
Engelmann
A situation in which the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus alters the frequency, latency, duration or amplitude of a behavior.
Stimulus control
Most-to-least prompts, graduated guidance, and least-to-most prompts occur as ____ to gradual changes in the response evoked by the natural stimulus.
Consequences
Which instructional technology requires 100% mastery?
PSI
Which instructional technology is used in colleges and military, with student aides as proctors?
PSI
Only one antecedent (Sd or S-delta) is presented to the learner in a given trial in:
Successive discrimination training
One or more stimulus/response dimensions paired with correct choice
Redundancy of antecedent stimuli
List the 3 components of a discrete trial
- an antecedent stimulus that sets the occasion for the learner’s response
- the learner’s response
- a teacher-provided consequence for the learner’s response
List 11 elements of the ABA approach to education
- Clearly stated and behaviorally stated _______ ______
- Well-designed _________ ________
- Assessment of learner’s _____ _____
- Ongoing, frequent ______ _______ of skills
- Focus on ______
- Highly ______
- ____ paced
- Systematic use of positive and _______ ________
- Supported by _______ ________
- Extensively _____ ______ and ______ based on data
- Considered how ______ the procedures are for classroom practice
- instructional objectives
- curricular materials
- entry skills
- direct measurement
- mastery
- structured
- fast
- corrective feedback
- empirical research
- field-tested and revised
- realistic
Consequent stimuli or schedules of presentation that may result in the learner making the correct or an appropriate response more frequently
Artificial consequences and schedules
Highlighting a physical dimension (e.g., color, size, position) of a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a correct response
Stimulus fading
Response prompt if the prompt operates on the
response and stimulus prompt if the prompt
operates on an antecedent stimulus
Gestural prompt
When should prompts be given?
Before a response begins to occur or during a response cycle to aid the performance of the behavior
Time that students actually spend learning
Academic learning time
Reinforcement should be used to:
Get behavior going, strengthen a dimension of an already acquired skill, or keep behavior going (maintenance)
Antecedents are presented, teacher waits for the learner to respond, learner responds and teacher provides consequences contingent upon the learner response.
Discrete trial teaching
Schedule producing low to moderate steady rates of responding
Variable interval
A complex example of stimulus control that requires both stimulus generalization within a class of stimuli and discrimination between classes of stimuli.
Concept formation
Three steps in developing a TA
- Perform the task or watch someone else
- Write down each individual step in sequence
- Perform or have someone perform the task according to the steps you listed
Pointing to, tapping, touching, or looking at the target stimuli
Movement cue
When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing one response while placing another response on extinction, the result is:
Differentiation
Learning stage for establishing a new behavior, skill or repertoire
Acquisition stage
List 2 student variables that can influence the number of learn units delivered in a lesson
Response latency and interresponse time
A level of performance that meets fluency and accuracy criteria
Mastery
In _____, the presence of one stimulus condition interferes with the acquisition of stimulus control by another stimulus.
Overshadowing

Backward chaining
Backward chaining with leaps ahead
Forward chaining
Total task chaining
List 5 factors affecting the performance of a behavior chain
- Completeness of the TA
- Length/complexity of the chain
- Schedule of reinforcement
- Stimulus variation
- Response variation
Student scores are based on and compared with peers performance
Norm-referenced evaluation
Antecedent stimuli that may temporarily increase or decrease the value of a reinforcer and evoke behavior that has resulted in that reinforcer previously
