Durability and Generality (Conard et al.) Flashcards
For the purpose of this article, ______ is viewed as a type of durability across time in which the target behavior continues to occur after the intervention implemented by a consultant or researcher has been removed from the setting.
maintenance
The myth of perpetual-behavior intervention refers to the idea that a behavioral intervention will be sustained as long as the original intervention has properly thinned out _______.
reinforcement
-It looks at durability across time.
-It includes both maintenance and institutionalization.
-It can be assessed in the form of follow-up data and probes collected after the consultant or researcher has not been present for a period of time.
-It can be assessed in the form of data collected immediately on the workers self-management of some intervention program.
All of these statements are true regarding “generality _____ .”
