Code Of Ethics And LIMA Flashcards
What is the first step in the Hierarchy of Behavior-Change Procedures?
Health, nutritional, and physical factors:
Ensure that any indicators for possible medical, nutritional, or health factors are addressed by a licensed veterinarian.
What does the second step of the Hierarchy focus on?
Antecedents: Redesign setting events, change motivations, and add or remove discriminative stimuli (cues) for the problem behavior.
What is the goal of positive reinforcement?
Increase the probability that the desired behavior will occur
Employ approaches that contingently deliver a consequence.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior?
Reinforce an acceptable replacement behavior and remove the maintaining reinforcer for the problem behavior
This approach focuses on promoting positive behaviors.
What is the purpose of negative punishment in the Hierarchy?
Reduce the probability that the problem behavior will occur
Contingently withdraw a positive reinforcer.
What does negative reinforcement aim to achieve?
Increase the probability that the right behavior will occur
Contingently withdraw an aversive antecedent stimulus.
What is Extinction in the context of behavior modification?
Permanently remove the maintaining reinforcer to suppress the behavior
This method reduces behavior to baseline levels.
What is the definition of positive punishment?
Contingently deliver an aversive consequence to reduce the probability that the problem behavior will occur
This method aims to discourage negative behaviors.

What is the goal of LIMA?
Trainers to determine and use the least intrusive effective intervention
What are the six procedures for Humane and Effective Practices?

True or false: the use of an electric stimulus during training should occur whenever the trainer believes it is needed?
False
The use of an electronic collar should be the last form of training considered before its use.
What training strategies should be used before using an electronic collar:
Changes in antecedent stimuli
Positive reinforcement or alternative behaviors
Counter conditioning and desensitization
Negative punishment
Negative reinforcement
Consult with other behavior professionals for alternative training suggestions
When should trainers seek outside professional help?
When hey are confronted with complex or difficult cases, and refrain from taking cases beyond their professional experience
