Q 
Direct assessment 
    Descriptive Assessment (4)
A
  • recording what happens right before the behavior occurs
  • leads to hypotheses about
    • why behavior occurs
    • how, where and w/whom to intervene

Q

ABC Data Collection (2)

A
  • antecedent–> behavior –> consequence

- observer records events that occur immediatley before and following behavior

24
Q

The scatterplot is an important tool to utlize in determining:

A

-whether the bheavior is more or less likely to occur at certain times or certain situations

25
Q

Purpose of functional analysis (2)

A

experimentally evaluate the controlling variables (function) of problem behavior
-environmental variables are manipulated and effect on behavior measured

26
Q

FA Conditions (6)

A
  • conditions typically 10 min in length
  • attention
  • escape (aka demand)
  • tangible
  • alone
  • control
27
Q

attention condition of a FA

A

test for behavior maintained attention

-socially mediated positive reinforcement (in form of attention)

28
Q

FA

running the attention session (2)

A
  • ignore every behavior but problem behavior

- collect data on frequency of prob behavior

29
Q

attention condition consequence

A

-consequence for all prob behavior is attention

30
Q

Demand condition of an FA (2)

A
  • test for behavior maintained by escape

- socially mediated negative reinforcement (in the form of task removal)

31
Q

Running the demand session (4)

A
  • therapist presents tasks over and over
  • if client does not comply w/ demans, the therapist implements a 3 step guided compliance procedure
  • ignore everything besides the target behavior
  • escape only provided if prob behavior occurs
32
Q

3 step guided compliance procedure

A
  1. instruction
  2. model
  3. physical guidance
33
Q

In an FA demand condition, you may be asked to collect data on: (3)

A
  • the target behavior
  • demands delivered
  • duration of escape intervals
34
Q

Identify the FA condition

Asking the client ‘what is 2+2?’ prior to the occurrence of the target behavior

A

demand-antecedent

35
Q

tangible condition of an FA (2)

A
  • test for behavior maintained by tangible items (things/activities)
    • socially mediated positive reinforcement (in the form of things)
36
Q

Running the tangible session (3)

A
  • therapist has access to the client’s preferred item or activity and withholds it from the client
  • if target behavior occurs, the therapist returns the item to the client for a brief period of time
  • after brief access, the therapist removes the item again
37
Q

Alone condition of an FA (2)

A
  • test for behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement

- rules out maintenance by social reinforcement

38
Q

Running the Alone Condition Session (4)

A
  • impovershed environment
  • therapist absent from the room; client is alone
  • client is observed the whole time
  • collect data on problem behavior
39
Q

Alone Condition Consequence (2)

A
  • No programmed consequences

- we cannot actually deliver or withhold automatic reinforcement because its automatic!

40
Q

Alone Condition Antecedent (2)

A
  • we want the motivation for automatic reinforcement to be high
  • impoverished environment- no external forms of reinforcement
41
Q

Running the Alone Session (4)

A
  • impoverished environment
  • the therapist is absent from the room; client is alone
  • client is observed the whole time
  • collect data on problem behavior
42
Q

Alone Condition Consequence (2)

A
  • no programmed consequences

- we cannot actually deliver or withhold automatic reinforcement because its automatic

43
Q

Alone condition antecedent (2)

A

we want the motivation for automatic reinforcement to be high
-impoverished environment -no external forms of reinforcement

44
Q

Control (play) condition of FA (2)

A

rates of behavior from other conditions (attention, demand, tangible, alone) are compared to this condition
-just play and have fun w/them

45
Q

control (play) condition consequence

A

no programmed consequences for problem behavior- just ignore it

46
Q

Goal of descriptive assessment and functional analysis

A

to figure out what the prob behavior is, where it occurs, why is it occuring and what can be done to stop it in future

47
Q

Task B-04 and the RBT (4)

assist w/ functional assessment

A
  • understand the purpose of assessment
  • review assessment components
  • assist with implementation
  • collect data assessment data
48
Q

Antcedent Interventions (2)

A
  • manipulate events in the environment that occur before the behavior and alter those events to change the behavior
  • help to prevent problem behaviors from occurring instead of reacting to them after they occur
49
Q

3 types of descriptive analysis

A
  • narrartive recording
  • ABC data collection
  • scatterplot
50
Q

standard conditions of a functional analysis (5)

A
  • demand
  • attention
  • tangible
  • alone
  • control
51
Q

common functions of behavior (4)

A
  • attention
  • tangible
  • escape
  • automatic
52
Q

function of behavior that is a type of positive or negative reinforcement in which sensory stimulation is produced as a result of the behavior

A

automatic function

53
Q

type of direct assessment method during which the behavior is observed in the natural environemnt with no manipulation of environmental variables

A

descriptive assessment

54
Q

cateogry of a FA during which info is gathered about the target behavior by observing the behavior occur in real time

A

direct assessment

55
Q

function of behavior that is a type of socially mediated negative reinforcement that results in the termination or removal of something an idnividual does not like

A

escape function

56
Q

experimental assessment conducted in an analog setting that evaluates the controlling variable of prob behavior

A

functional analysis

57
Q

assessment used to ID behavior-environment relations to guide treatment decisions

A

functional assessment

58
Q

descriptive assessment in which the observer writes a description of the behavior and environment throughout a specific time period

A

narrative recording
