F05 Conduct Preference Assessments Part 2 Flashcards
A stimulus preference assessment in which a range of stimuli affecting the individual’s sensory systems is offered individually in random order and the reaction to each stimulus is recorded.
Single stimulus method
In which multiple stimuli presentation method does the individual choose from a diminishing number of stimuli each time? Multiple stimuli _ replacemant
Without
The preference assessment that use total duration of engagement with stimuli or activities
Free operant assessment
The multiple stimulus method of reinforcer identification involves presenting
Three or more options to the individual simultaneously.
When a stimulus is determined to be a low-preference stimulus by a stimulus preference assessment, this means the stimulus is
Less preferred than other stimuli, but still may be a reinforcer
Using the multiple stimulus without replacement method,
The selected item is removed before the next trial.
Reinforcers identified by means of surveys that ask a person to list their like, dislikes, favorites, and so on should
Be functionally assessed
One major weakness of reinforcer surveys that ask people to list their likes, dislikes, favorites, and so on is that
Verbal self-reports are notoriously inaccurate.
Two items are presented until each stimulus has been compared to each of the other stimuli.
Paired stimuli method
Three or more stimuli are presented to an individual. The one that is chosen is recorded. The teacher is using the
Multiple stimuli presentation method
The paired choice method to identify potential reinforcers involves presenting
Two items simultaneously
Synonymous to the paired stimuli presentation method is the _ _ method.
Forced choice
Two stimuli are presented, and the one chosen is recorded. This describes the forced choice method or _ _ presentation method.
Paired stimuli
Multiple stimuli and activities are simultaneously available, and the therapist records the student’s duration of engagement with each item or activity.
Free-operant assessment
When using the paired-choice preference assessment,
Randomize the position of the two items
The single-item method to identify potential reinforcers
Provides an indication that an item may be highly preferred.
A teacher places a cookie in front of a student. After he eats it, she places a toy car in front of the same student and he ignores it. She correctly concludes that
The cookie is more likely to reinforce behavior than the toy car.
Stimuli are presented in pairs and the stimulus chosen is recorded. Trials are repeated until each stimulus has been compared to each of the other stimuli.
Forced choice method
The options of watching TV or playing a computer game are offered. This exemplifies
Paired choice
A preference assessment
Yields potential reinforcers while a reinforcer assessment evaluates actual reinforcer effectiveness.
If a person is nonverbal and cannot respond to a reinforcer survey, reinforcers for that person
May be surveyed using pictures of the proposed stimuli or the actual stimuli
The procedure that predicts reinforcer value the best includes
Paired choice
A reinforcer assessment
Can determine which preferences can function as reinforcers for targeted behaviors.
