Q

UEOSR+

A

UEO related to positive reinforcement

22
Q

CEOSr+

A

CEO related to positive reinforcement

23
Q

Conditioned Motivating Operation

A

A motivating operation whose value altering effect depends on a learning history

24
Q

Surrogate CEO

A

Acquire the properties of an EO through contingent pairing with UEO’s in much the same way that stimuli become S’s through pairing

25
Q

Surrogate CAO

A

Acquire the properties of an AO through contingent pairing with UAO’s in much the same way that stimuli become S’s through pairing

26
Q

Transitive CEO

A

An event that established another stimulus as a necessary condition to complete the response that the first event evokes, and thus established that second stimulus as a reinforcer

27
Q

Transitive CAO

A

Decrease in the effectiveness of a stimulus as reinforcer and abate behavior which is maintained by the reinforcer whose value has been lowered (decreased).

28
Q

Reflexive CEO

A

Establishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment

29
Q

Reflexive CAO

A

Abolishes its own termination as an effective form of negative reinforcement or punishment

30
Q

Threat CEO-R

A

An EO for negative reinforcement; evokes avoidance behavior and evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past

31
Q

Threat CAO-R

A

An AO for negative reinforcement; abates avoidance behavior and abated behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past

32
Q

Promise CEO-R

A

An EO for negative punishment; abates behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past

33
Q

Promise CAO-R

A

An AO for negative punishment; evokes behavior that has resulted in its own termination in the past

34
Q

Escape

A

Behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus

35
Q

Negative reinforcement

A

The onset of painful stimulation establishes the reduction or offset of this stimulation as an effective form of reinforcement and evokes behavior that achieved such reduction or offset

36
Q

ABA practice

A

The application of the principles of operant and respondent learning derived from the experimental analysis of behavior and the application of methods and procedures validated by ABA researchers to assess and improve socially important human behaviors

37
Q

Outcomes

A

Life changes that represent a person’s aspirations, dreams, and broad preferences

38
Q

Leads to outcomes

A

Behavior and behavior change

39
Q

Adaptive Behavior

A

Those skills or abilities that enable the individual to meet standards of personal independence and responsibility that would be expected of his or her age and social group

40
Q

Target Behavior

A

Any defined, observable, and measurable behavior which is the focus of assessment analysis, and intervention

41
Q

Types of problems with behavior

A

Skill deficit, problems with strength of behavior, problems with performance, problems with stimulus control, problems with generality, behavior excesseses

42
Q

Reasons for selecting target behavior

A

Helps individual achieve outcomes, behavior deficit makes the person too dependent on others, behavior is harmful, dangerous or illegal, behavior is controlled by meds or restraints, behavior excludes individual from social situations, behavior interferes with independent functioning

43
Q

Social validity

A

The treatment goals and the achieved outcomes are acceptable, socially relevant, and useful to the individual receiving services and to those who care about the individual.

44
Q

Characteristics of a good response definition

A

objective, clear, complete

45
Q

Preliminary assessment

A

The practitioner gathers basic information about the case, determines if behavioral services are appropriate, and if he/she is the appropriate provider of those services

46
Q

Steps of preliminary assessment

A

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 cleric); Review records and available data; meet client and begin observations; document.

47
Q

Data

A

The quantitative results of deliberate, planned, and usually controlled observation

48
Q

Datum

A

Singular form of the term ‘data’

49
Q

Characteristics of a good response defintion

A

objective, clear, complete

50
Q

continuous response measures

A

Directly measures a dimensional quantity of behavior (direct)

51
Q

Discontinuous response

A

Do not measure bx directly (indirect)
