In person exam Flashcards
Continuous Measurement
Records every possible behavioral occurance. Example: recording data on the number of times student elopes
Discontinuous Measurement
Involves dividing an observation into intercals and recording whether a behavior occured. Example: Can the learner sit still for a five minute period
Prefferance Assessment
Observations or trial based evaluations that allow therapists to determine a prefereance heiarchy. Example: presenting the learner with two choices and seeing which he or she picks for a preferred activity
ABC data
Antecedent: The event that occures before a behavior
Behavior:
Consequence: Actions that follows the behaviro
Example: A: I am hungry B: Eats food C: Happy and not hungry
Discrete Trial Teaching:
Breaks the skill down into small discrete components and teaches the skill one by one. Example. Teaches colors. Presants the learners with red then yellolw
ABC with DTT
A: Discriminative stimulus
EX: asking learner to get seated
B: Response: Learner gets seated
C:Stimulous reinforcer: Gets the token for getting seated
Naturalistic teaching
Interventions that occur during daily routine activities “capture learning opportunities”
Example: student reaches for markers, you ask them to tell you what color they want to use
AA: she begins to tell a story you can have her pause to use context
Chaining
breaks down a task into small steps and then teaches each step within the sequence by itself
EX: Brushing teeth. Could have a total of 11 steps
Shaping
Reinforcing desired behavior
“EX: I Love how you were keeping your eyes on the screen and following along”
Stimulus Control Transfer
Fading prompts
EX: Say cup learner says cup. Shows cup, learner says cup independtly
AA example: You could say can you please open this for me. And then AA says it independtly
Prompting
Providing assistance or cues to encourage the use of a specific skill.
Token Systems
Used to increase apporpriate behavior using visual aid
Antecedent Intervention
Strategies that focus on structuring and modifying the enviornment and conditions that occur before a behavior is demonstarted so the behavior is less likely to occur
EX: First then language, giving a clear schedule
Differential Reinforcement
reinforcing a specific class of behavior while withholding reinforcement for other classes of behavior
Ex: Rewarding AA for nice comments during class and witholding rewards for not nice comments
A child who repededivly leaves the dinner table gets a reward for staying seated for ten minutes
EX: 20 minute lunch
Extinction
Something encountered reinforcement no longer does
EX: When AA uses inapropriate touching we no longer reinforce that. We give her the alternative to use functional communication instead
Asking for a cookie, mom says no, you slowly stop asking for a cookie
