Answer 8

Record when Bx occurs throughout the entire interval

Question 9

Momentary time sampling

Answer 9

Record when Bx occurs at the end of the interval

Question 10

Answer 10

Most common is line graph, knowing where to find last 3 data points

Question 11

Preference assessments

Answer 11

Free operant 
Single stimulus
Paired stimulus
Multiple stimulus w/ replacement
Multiple stimulus w/o replacement

Question 12

Free operant

Answer 12

Continuous access to an array of stimuli

Question 13

Single stimulus

Answer 13

Present one stimulus and score interest

Question 14

Paired stimulus

Answer 14

present two stimuli and record favorability

Question 15

Multiple stimuli w/replacement

Answer 15

present 3 or more stimuli - record favored and replace stimuli

Question 16

Multiple stimuli w/o replacement

Answer 16

present 3 or more stimuli - record favored and do not replace chosen stimuli

Question 17

ABC data

Answer 17

Antecent
Behavior
Consequence

Question 18

Discrete trial teaching

Answer 18

• Presenting Sd - Observe Bx - Consequence - Error correction procedure based on whether it is intervention or baseline - Observe and analyze response Bx - Reset teaching - Present Sd again
• DTT has a clear beginning and end

Question 19

Naturalistic teaching

Answer 19

Incidental teaching - finding opportunities to reinforce in a natural setting without having to give sD

Question 20

Chaining

Answer 20

• Forward - C does #1
• Backward - C does #5
• Total task. C does all steps, reinforced throughout

Question 21

Shaping

Answer 21

Reinforcing approximations of target Bx in steps to gradually teach the client a Bx

Question 22

Discrimination training

Answer 22

• Discriminating one subject/topic/idea from another
• Reinforce correct discrimination, put incorrect discrimination Bx in extinction
• Presenting sD with other objects to make sure client has discriminated one from another

Question 23

Stimulus transfer control

Answer 23

• Transferring the control of a stimulus to make a Bx occur during the presence of a different discriminative stimulus
• Includes prompt fading so the target Bx can occur with other Sd’s

Question 24

Prompting

Answer 24

• Partial verbal, full verbal, partial physical, full physical
• Prompt fading: Most to least
• Least to most

Question 25

Token systems

Answer 25

Based on systematic reinforcement that uses a token economy, tokens as reinforcement

Question 26

Crisis/emergency

Answer 26

Elope building with children when there’s a fire, going to safe rooms depending on the situation

Question 27

Antecedent interventions

Answer 27

* Modifying antecedents to control the Bx before it occurs * Ex: Motivating operations: making sure the reinforcement is DISC, amplifying the reinforcement so the client wants to participate more

Question 28

Differential reinforcement

Answer 28

* Reinforcing wanted Bx and putting non-wanted Bx into extinction * DR Other - Reinforce Bx that is not the unwanted Bx * DR Alternative - Reinforce alternative Bx and put unwanted Bx into extinction

Question 29

Extinction

Answer 29

* No longer reinforcing Bx that was reinforced | * Extinction burst: expected increase in Bx when extinction first occurs

Question 30

Session notes

Answer 30

* SOAP note: Subjective is complete, Objective is clear, concise, objective, etc

Question 31

Client dignity

Answer 31

Respect, talking in an age-appropriate manner

Question 32

Professional boundaries

Answer 32

* No dual relationships

Question 33

Supervision requirements

Answer 33

5% of hours need to be supervised per month

Question 34

Clinical direction

Answer 34

* Contact BCAB when an unexpected unknown not in BIP Bx occurs, parent questions that shouldn’t be directed at me

Question 35

DISC

Answer 35

Deprivation, immediacy, size, contingencies

Question 36

Measurement

Answer 36

Continuous Discontinuous Data & graphs

Question 37

Assessment

Answer 37

Preference assessments | ABC data

Question 38

Skill acquisition and Bx reduction

Answer 38

``` Discrete-trial teaching Naturalistic teaching Chaining Shaping Discrimination training Stimulus control transfer Prompting Token systems Antecedent interventions Differential reinforcement Extinction ```

Question 39

Professionalism and requirements

Answer 39

``` Session notes Client dignity Professional boundaries Supervision requirements Clinical direction ```
