Q

prompt

A

additional stimuli that increases the probability that the S will occasion the desired response

Q

effective prompting

A
  1. focus students attention on S^D
  2. should be as non-intrusive as possible
  3. fade as rapidly as possible
  4. unplanned prompts should be avoided

Q

task analysis

A

breaking complex behavior into components

-completion of each step is the S^D to the beginning of the next step

19
Q

chaining

A
  • teacher establishes a series of chain of behavior

- instructional procedure of reinforcing individual responses in sequence to form complex behavior

20
Q

forward chaining

A

begins with first step and adds in others in order

- ex: shoe tying

21
Q

backwards chaining

A

components are taught from last step to first step

  • reinforcer is given at the most natural point -> the end of task
  • ex: helping student learn to put on their pants, start with them buttoning pants and move backwards
22
Q

fading procedures

A
  • decreasing assistance
  • graduated guidance
  • time delay -> give students more tome to respond
  • increasing assistance
23
Q

shaping

A
  • differential reinforcement for successive approximations of behavior
  • used to teach new behavior
24
Q

must be able to identify for antecedent procedures

A
  • terminal behavior -> behavioral goal
  • initial behavior -> in students repertoire
  • intermediate behavior
  • dimensions
  • things to think about
    • size of steps
    • how long to stay at each plateau
25
Q

generalizations

A
  • stimulus generalizations
  • maintenance
  • response generalizations
26
Q

why do we need to plan for generalizations?

A
  • the lack of generalizations
  • technology of generalizations
  • must be programmed
27
Q

stimulus generalization

A

when a response that has been trained in a specific setting with a specific instructor occurs in different setting or with different instructor
-behaviors are reinforced in presence of similar yet different S^D

28
Q

maintenance

A

tendency of learned behavior to occur after programmed contingencies have been removed

  • resistance to extinction
  • durability
  • behavioral persistance
29
Q

response generalizations

A

to unprogrammed changes in similar behaviors when target behavior is modified
- ex targeting the F word but also change other swear words

30
Q

training generalization

A
  • train and hope
  • sequentially modify
  • introduce to natural contingencies
  • train sufficient exemplars
  • train loosely
  • use indiscriminate contingencies
  • program control stimuli
  • mediate generalization
31
Q

sequentially modify

A
  • across settings
  • peer reprogramming
  • multiple settings programming
32
Q

introduce natural contingencies

A
  • observe students environment
  • choosing behaviors that are subject to trapping as determined by observation
  • teaching students to recruit reinforcers from environment
  • teaching students to recognize reinforcement when it is delivered
33
Q

train sufficient exemplars

A
  • similarities and differences
  • saying hello, asking for help
  • general case programming
  • enhances response generalization, maintenance, and stimulus generalization
34
Q

train loosely

A
  • naturalistic teaching
  • incidental teaching
  • enhances response, maintenance, and stimulus generalization
35
Q

self record

A

you record your own behavior- on you to make sure you record correctly

  • select behavior
  • operationally define behavior
  • select appropriate data collection
  • instruct student
  • monitor at least one practice
  • independent use
36
Q

self instruction

A

providing ones own verbal prompting

37
Q

self reinforcement

A

letting the students be involved, self determined reinforcers

  • stringent standards
  • teacher controlled contingencies
38
Q

self punishment

A

students decide when to subtract or return tokens/reinforcers as well as when to reward themselves
-ex not going out with friends if you do bad on an exam

39
Q

free will

A

behavior attributed to a force from within the individual and thus not subject to prediction and change

40
Q

deterministic

A

behavior is lawful (subject to prediction) and its causes can be identified in environmental events

41
Q

behavior modification misused

A

people associate modification with change therefore believe it is any procedure that has the potential to change behavior

42
Q

besides behavior modification what is the other issue people have with the behavioral approach?

A

they believe that any systematic effort to change behavior is coercive and thus inhumane

43
Q

social validity

A

the acceptability of a program or procedure to its consumer

44
Q

functional skills

A

teaching skills is the primary focus of every childs education program
-merely eliminating a behavior is indefensible in the absence of a plan to develop constructive behavior

45
Q

accountability

A
  • when goals are stated in objective terms
  • open to evaluation
  • data-based decisions
46
Q

assessment

A

goals and objectives progress is determined by the ongoing process of data collection

47
Q

effective procedures

A

procedures that have been shown to work with the same population with similar behaviors
