Intro Terms Flashcards
Define characteristics of ABA
Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, conceptually systematic, effective, generality
ABC stands for…
Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Reinforcement
Event following the behavior which increases that behavior
Punishment
event following the behavior which decreases that behavior
Positive Reinforcement
Addition of a pleasant stimulus (SR+)
Negative Reinforcement
Removal of an aversive stimulus (SR-)
Positive Punishment
Addition of an aversive stimulus (SP+)
Negative Punishment
Removal of pleasant stimulus (SP-)
Behavioral Momentum
Antecedent Strategy Series of request for bxs associated with a high rate of reinforcement, then presenting a request for behavior that has a low-p of occurring
Choice
Antecedent Strategy Allowing individuals to exhibit preference in selection of materials, activities, order of task completion and/or other elements of instructional day
Environmental Modification
Antecedent Strategy changing activities in environment or activity to increase likelihood that appropriate behaviors will occur
Errorless learning
Antecedent Strategy Teaching procedures that reduce likelihood of incorrect responding
Incorporating Student Interest
Antecedent Strategy Using highly preferred activities/items during instruction to increase student engagement
Priming
Antecedent Strategy previewing student’s future task/activity
Time Delay
Antecedent Strategy providing brief delay between initial instruction and any additional prompts or instructions
Visual Prompts
Antecedent Strategy Tools presented visually (pictures, words, checklist)
Contingency contracting
Consequence Strategy document that ID a contingent relationship between the completion of a specific bxs and access to specific reward
Delayed Contingencies
Consequence Strategy Providing response to behaviors after a designated period of time has passed rather than immediately following behavior
Differential Reinforcement
Consequence Strategy Providing reinforcement for behaviors when they occur at a certain time and place, while NOT providing reinforcement when the behaviors don’t occur during another time and place
Extinction
Consequence Strategy Withdrawing or ending the use of a reinforcer that maintained an interfering behavior
Overcorrection
Consequence Strategy Requiring to restore or correct an environment he/she has disturbed beyond its original condition and/or requiring practice of appropriate behaviors repeatedly
Response Interruption
Consequence Strategy Blocking attempt to engage in interfering behaviors
Redirection
Consequence Strategy prompting to engage in more appropriate and alternative behaviors
Reinforcement
Consequence Strategy Consequence likely to maintain or increase
