First 30 Flashcards
Analogue FA conditions
Control Attention Escape from task Alone Tangible
Analytic
Characteristics of ABA. Scientifically based experimental designs are used to assess the effectiveness of interventions under study
Antecedent Manipulation
Adding or removing antecedents that evoke behaviors. Include MO, SD, response effort
Analogue FA
Setup conditions to mimic real-life situations
Antecedent Manipulations (5)
1) Antecedent Control
2) Establishing operation
3) Present SDs for appropriate behavior
4) Remove SDs for inappropriate behavior
5) Increase response effort for inappropriate behavior
Applied
Characteristic of ABA. Focuses on behavior with social significance
Applied Behavior Analysis vs. Experimental Analysis of behavior
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.
Assumptions/Characteristics of Science
1) Determinism
2) Law of Parsimony
3) Scientific Manipulations
4) Empiricism
5) Philosophic doubt
6) Replication
Automatic Reinforcement
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
Behavioral
Characteristics of ABA. Behavior is a focus, not a hypothetical entity
Behavioral Assessment
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
Behavioral Assessment: 2 general kinds
1) Functional Analysis
2) Descriptive Assessment
Behavioral Assessment : Goal
Identify the function of behavior
Behavioral Technologies
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.
Behaviorism
Philosophy of behavior that assumes behavior is a function of current and past environments as well as genetics
