Module 12 Flashcards
What’s the RBT Task Number?
implement interventions based on modification of antecedents such as motivation/establishing operations and discriminative stimuli
RBT Task D-03
manipulate events in the environment that occur efore the behavior and alter those events to change the behavior
antecedent interventions
antecedent interventions help to prevent…
behaviors from occurring instead of reacting to them after they occur
how are antecedents manipulated (2)
through manipulating motivating operations and discriminative stimuli
MO’s (2)
- increase the VALUE of a consequence (stimulus)
- decrease the VALUE of a consequence
Establishing operations (EO’s) (2)
- increase the value
- make the behavior more likely
Abolishing operations (2)
- decrease the value
- make behavior less likely
AO’s and EO’s are types of…
MO’s
Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR)
- AKA: time based stimulus delivery
- the reinforcer is delivery “for free” based on the passage of time to satiate the clients desire for the reinforcer
- stimulus delivered is linked to the function of the behavior
- decrease the EO for attention/access/ escape/ sensory stimulation
NCR: attention (3)
- provide attention after a specific amount of time, regardless of what the learner is doing at that time
- the learner no longer has to engage in prob behavior to get attention
- attenton is provided “for free”
NCR: escape (3)
- provide escape after a specific amount of time regardless of what the learner is doing at the time
- the learner no longer has to engage in prob behavior to get escape
- a break (escape ) is provided “for free”
NCR: sensory stimuli
- sensory stimulation is delivered after a specific amount of time has passed
- learner no longer has to engage in problem behavior to get sensory stimulation
- sensory stimulation is provided ‘for free’
NCR Summary
EO manipulation
decreases the motivation for the reinforcer
What makes NCR an effective antecedent intervention? (2)
- they’re getting what the want for free
- it decreases the MO for the individual to engage in the target prob behavior to get the reinforcer
environmental enrichment (3)
- adding reinforcers to the environment prior to the occurrence of prob behavior
- Decrease EO for the reinforcer (act as an abolishing operation)
- decrease likelihood prob behavior will occur
task modification is used for…
behavior maintained by escape
4 general strategies for task modification
- alter materials
- reduce effort required
- Make the demand more predictable
- deliver the demand at a diff time
Stimulus Fading In (3)
- demand initially presented at the lowest level of difficulty that does not cause prob behavior
- ie a decrease in the duration and/or # of demands presented
- as long as prob behavior remains low, the difficulty of the demand is slowly increased
High Probability Instructional Sequence (continued)
-AKA ‘High-P’; may also be called behavioral momentum
RBT Task D-05
implement extinction procedures
