Compentecy Exam Flashcards
What are the 6 types of continuous measurement?
Count, latency, interresponse time, frequency, rate, duration
Define ‘Count’ in continuous measurement.
The number of times a behavior occurs
Define ‘Latency’ in continuous measurement.
The time between the SD and the response
What is ‘Interresponse time’?
Time between behaviors or responses
Define ‘Frequency’ in continuous measurement.
How often a behavior occurs
What is ‘Rate’ in continuous measurement?
Number of times a behavior occurs in a specified time period
Define ‘Duration’ in continuous measurement.
How long a behavior lasts for
What are the 3 types of discontinuous measurement?
Whole interval recording, partial interval recording, momentary time sampling
What is ‘Whole interval recording’?
The behavior has to occur the entire interval
Define ‘Partial interval recording’.
The behavior needs to occur at any point for it to be a yes the behavior occurred
What is ‘Momentary time sampling’?
Is the behavior occurring at that moment–at the end of the interval
What are 2 ways to maintain patient dignity?
Respect, kindness, patience, HIPAA compliant, respecting privacy
What are 2 ways to maintain professional boundaries?
Do not accept gifts over $10, not adding on social media
What percentage of your direct care needs to be supervised each month per the BACB requirements?
5%
When would you seek clinical direction/advice from your supervisor?
Whenever you have a question, need advice or don’t understand something
What does FR stand for in reinforcement schedules?
Fixed ratio
Ex: Reinforcement is given after a set amount of responses. Getting a free coffee after buying 5
What does FI stand for in reinforcement schedules?
Fixed interval
Ex: Reinforcement is given after a set amount of time. Getting a paycheck every two weeks
What does VR stand for in reinforcement schedules?
Variable ratio
Ex: Reinforcement is given after a changing unpredictable number of responses
What does VI stand for in reinforcement schedules?
Variable interval
Ex: Reinforcement is given after a changing unpredictable amount of time as the behavior occurs
What is a motivating operation?
Are things that change how much you want something and how hard you’ll work to get it
What does ‘onset’ refer to?
When something starts to appear
What does ‘offset’ refer to?
When something stops or disappears
What are the Verbal Operants?
Mand, tact, echoic, listener responding, intraverbal
Define ‘Mand’.
Request, command, demand
Define ‘Tact’.
Labeling
Define ‘Echoic’.
Repeating
What is ‘Listener Responding’?
Verbal command then behavior
What is ‘Intraverbal’?
Fill-in, conversation
What is the Prompting Hierarchy?
Least to Most, Most to Least, Errorless
What is shaping?
Reinforcing approximate behaviors
What is a BSP?
Behavior Support Plan. A plan to describe how to change undesirable behaviors and how we will measure them
Define ‘Chaining’.
Total task analysis, forward chaining, backwards chaining
What is Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Behavior (DRH)?
reinforcement of rates of responding where only responses that are higher than the set criterion.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)?
A new behavior that cannot happen at the same time as the targeted behavior
Ex: Sitting is incompatible with wandering around the classroom
What is Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)?
Reinforcing the absence of a behavior for a certain amount of time. Used when you don’t want them to do a behavior
What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)?
A new behavior that matches the function of the targeted behavior. Used when teaching effective replacement behavior
Ex: Raises hand to get teachers attention
What are the 4 Aspects of Shaping?
Latency, intensity, frequency/amount, topography
Token economy procedures
Rewards that are given for desired behaviors
