Q

Rationale for DA

A
  1. Analyze/determine variables in environment that serve as antecedents/consequences for behavior.
  2. ID target behavior of social significance for an individual
  3. Natural setting, no risk (just observation)

Confidentiality

A

Describes a situation of trust where any information regarding a person receiving/have received services may not be discussed w/or otherwise made available to another person or group, unless that person has provided explicit authorization for release of such information

Q

Lawfulness of Behavior

A

Certain principles of behavior have been proven to work time and time again in both the lab and applied settings (Ex. R+, P+, extinction, stimulus control)

18
Q

Technological

A

Operative procedures are identified & described so precisely that enables replication

19
Q

Effective

A

Improved behavior to a practical degree

20
Q

Generality

A

Lasts over time, appears in other environments, and/or spreads to other behaviors not directly related to the intervention

21
Q

Conceptually Systematic

A

Procedures for changing behavior & any interpretations of how/why those procedures were effective should be described in terms of the relevant principle(s) from which they were derived

22
Q

Parsimony

A

Keep it simple!

Rule out simple/logical explanations before considering more complex/abstract ones

23
Q

Determinism

A

The universe is a lawful and orderly place- Everything happens for a reason

24
Q

Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)

A

A natural science approach founded by BF Skinner that enabled clear demonstrations of orderly+reliable functional relations b/w behavior and various env. events in a lab setting

25
Q

ABA

A

A science in which the tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to socially significant behaviors and experimentation is used to ID variables responsible for the improvement in behavior

26
Q

Response

A

A single instance or occurrence of a specific class or type of behavior

27
Q

Response Class

A

A group of responses of varying topographies all of which produce the same effect on the environment

28
Q

Stimulus

A

An energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells

29
Q

Stimulus Class

A

A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, termporal and/or functional elements

30
Q

Positive Reinforcement

A

When a behavior is immediately followed by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that behavior in similar conditions

31
Q

Negative Reinforcement

A

The occurrence of a response produces the removal, termination, reduction or postponement of a stimulus, which leads to an increase in the future frequency of the behavior

32
Q

Conditioned Reinforcer

A

A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer bc of prior pairings with 1+ other R+

33
Q

Unconditioned Reinforcer

A

A stimulus change that increases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the learner’s history w/the stimulus

34
Q

Positive Punishment

A

When a behavior is immediately followed by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of that behavior in similar conditions

35
Q

Negative Punishment

A

The termination of an already present stimulus immediately following a behavior that results in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior

36
Q

Unconditioned Punisher

A

Stimulus change that can decrease the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it, irrespective of the organisms learning history with that stimulus

37
Q

Conditioned Punisher

A

A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairings with one or more other punishers

38
Q

Stimulus Control

A

A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus

39
Q

Motivating Operations

A

An environmental variable that alters (inc/dec) the R+ or P+ effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event & alters (inc/dec) the current frequency of all behavior that has been R+ or P+ by that stimulus, object, or event

40
Q

Establishing Operations

A

A motivating operation that establishes (increases) the effectiveness of some stimulus, object or even as a reinforcer

41
Q

Functional Relation

A

A verbal statement summarizing the results of an experiment

*Explains the effects of the IV on the DV

42
Q

Principles of Behavior

A
  • R+, P+, extinction, stimulus control
  • Describes a functional relation bw 1+ of its controlling variables
  • Generalizes across organisms, species, settings and behaviors
43
Q

Behavior Change Tactics

A

Technologically consistent method for changing behavior derived from 1+ principles of behavior; possesses sufficient generality to warrant codification and dissemination
