F05 Conduct Preference Assessments Part 3 Flashcards
After feeding her child three fourths of his meal, a mother begins asking him if he wants more, and feeds him another bite each time he signs “more”. She compares how many times her son signs for more depending on which food he is eating. This is a
Multiple schedule reinforcer assessment.
In a multiple schedule reinforcer assessment, reinforcer value is determined based on
The relative rates of single behavior on different reinforcement schedules.
In a concurrent schedule reinforcer assessment, reinforcer value is determined based on
The relative rates of responding on the two different behaviors.
Working with a child with autism, you present a squeaky toy contingent on her clapping her hands, and a raisin contingent on her tapping her nose. You are using a
Concurrent schedule reinforcer assessment
A reinforcer assessment in which the number of responses required to obtain a particular stimulus is gradually increased is a
Progressive ratio schedule
Concurrent schedule reinforcer assessments can be used to determine
The relative value of various stimuli as reinforcers.
A reinforcer assessment in which two or more schedules of reinforcement are alternately applied to a single behavior is a
Multiple schedule reinforcer assessment.
A reinforcer assessment in which reinforcers are available simultaneously on separate schedules and the number of responses required to earn the reinforcer systematically increases over consecutive stages of the assessment
Progressive ratio concurrent schedule reinforcer assessment
Variables that influence the efficacy of reinforcement include
Timing, quality, establishing operation, duration, and variety
A stimulus may lose its reinforcing effectiveness when
More highly preferred stimuli are available for other behaviors.
A reinforcer assessment in which multiple reinforcers are simultaneously available for different behaviors on independent schedules of reinforcement defines a
Concurrent schedule reinforcer assessment
Variables that influence the efficacy of reinforcement include
Timing, quality, quantity, duration, and variety
In a progressive ratio schedule reinforcer assessment, reinforcer value is determined based on
How many responses an individual will emit to earn the reinforcer
A stimulus may lose its reinforcing effectiveness when
The effort needed to acquire that stimulus increases.
A reinforcer assessment in which two different stimuli are presented contingent on different responses is a
Concurrent schedule preference assessment
