Q

Applied Behavior Analysis vs. Experimental Analysis of behavior

A

Both use systematic manipulation and data analysis of individual organisms. ABA: Behaviors of social significance to the person are investigated. EAB: Behaviors of no social significance of the person are investigated.

Q

Automatic Reinforcement

A

A reinforcer that is produced by the behavior without the participation of other people. For example, echolalia produces a sound that may maintain the bx. It can be positive or negative reinforcement

Q

Behavioral Assessment

A

Assessment that examines the persons entire life in order to identify possible causes of the behavior in question. You may use descriptive assessment methods or functional analyses

Q

Behavioral Technologies

A

Collection of procedures that have arisen from research and are applied to practical problems by practioners. Ex: Behavioral Momentum is now implemented by many service providers in clinics, schools and homes.

Q

Characteristics of ABA

A

1) Effective
2) Technological
3) Conceptually Systematic
4) Generality
5) Analytic
6) Applied
7) Behavioral

17
Q

Conceptually Systematic

A

Characteristics of ABA. Procedures are tied to the basic principals of behavior

18
Q

Dependent Variable

A

Measure of behavior of interest

19
Q

Determinism

A

Assumption of science. Behavior is caused by some event

20
Q

Discrepancy analysis

A

Compare data with those of norm group to determine change-worthiness of current behavior

21
Q

Divided Attention

A

When attention is diverted to another person and not just withheld.

22
Q

Effective

A

Characteristic of ABA. Attempt to produce large enough effect that has an impact on the persons life.

23
Q

Empiricism

A

Assumption of science. Information is collected by objective observation.

24
Q

Explanatory Fiction/circular reasoning

A

Explaining behaviors by using an entity that lies within the behavior itself. (Eric is aggressive because he has an aggressive trait. Evidence of aggressive trait is his aggressive behavior).

25
Q

Functional Analysis

A

Manipulations of environmental conditions to determine a functional relation between problem behavior and independent variables. Goal is to confirm hypothesis developed in descriptive assessment

26
Q

Functional Analysis best practice: How many controls to use

A

Use one control for each test (pair wise).

27
Q

Functional Analysis best practice: natural vs contrived environments

A

Natural

28
Q

Functional analysis best practice: role of supplemental information

A

to develop an hypothesis

29
Q

Functional Analysis best practice: what to do with tangible condition

A

If descriptive assessment does not indicate behavior occurs to produce tangibles, then don’t include in test conditions

30
Q

Functional analysis models

A

AB and ABC
