Q

advantages of DTT

A
  1. effective for individuals who have difficulty learning
  2. effective for skills that require repetition
  3. well suited for teaching skills that are not intrinsically motivating
  4. efficient learning time and facilitates consistency

Q

other considerations of DTT

A
  1. often does not generalize automatically to natural situations
  2. may not be as motivating for some learners as other types of learning
  3. can results in rote responding or memorization of responses
  4. discrete trial teaching is often most effective when used in conjunction with other types of naturalistic learning strategies

Q

NET natural environment training

A
  1. instruction embedded in natural environment
  2. learner directed; incorporates 3 term contingency
  3. antecedent-natural motivation prevention or instruction
  4. response-the learner performs a behavior
  5. consequence-naturally related reinforcement or outcomes occurs

31
Q

advantages of NET

A
  1. can be more motivating for learners-intrinsically motivating
  2. requires less training to generalize skills
  3. skills are immediately functional for learners-promote initiation skills
  4. instruction can take place in any location with multiple individuals
32
Q

other considerations for NET

A
  1. may not be structured enough for some learners
  2. may not be offer multiple opportunities to practice a skill
  3. can make data collection and consistency difficult
  4. opportunities to practice may not naturally occur
33
Q

fluency based instruction

A
  1. targets accurate and quick responses
  2. learners are given brief time intervals to complete a skill
  3. skills are gradually required to occur more rapidly within these time frames
34
Q

goal of fluency based instruction

A
  1. how to quickly skill can be performed

2. how many times a skill can be performed accurate within a certain time frame

35
Q

fluency based instruction is effective for learners who are slow to respond or need to perform a skill more quickly

used in conjunction with aba

precision teaching a particular type of fluency based instruction

A

t

36
Q

advantages of fluency based instruction

A
  1. facilitates effective use of skills in natural settings
  2. facilitates learning more complex related skills
  3. promotes on task behaviors and retention of new skills
  4. often reduces frustration with tasks and the development of challenging behaviors
37
Q

verbal behavior

A
  1. teaching communication skills is an integral part of many aba treatment programs
  2. the development of communication frequently leads to the decrease of other challenges behavior by the individual
38
Q

traditional language instruction receptive language

A
  1. involves responding non-vocally to given instructions
  2. requires the listener to respond in specified way by performing an action
  3. does not require any vocal output from the listener
39
Q

expressive language

A
  1. involves providing a communicative response
  2. giving a spoken answer to a question or statement, or saying, something that the individual sees or wants
  3. may also include communicating through gestures, exchanging a picture or using an electronic device
  4. involves communicative output from individual
40
Q

how is verbal behavior different

A
  1. verbal behavior is an approach that focuses on a word’s function instead of its form
  2. why is this important
41
Q

skinners verbal behavior

A
  1. language is behavior
  2. classified as just another type of behavior that people do
  3. same as other responses, such as walking, crying, jumping, or other responses
  4. language cane understood according to the same principles that apply to any behavior
42
Q

why is skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior useful or important?

A
  1. acquiring language is more than learning “meaning of the words”
  2. we can’t assume that once an individual has learned, “the memo f a word that he or she will use it in a functional way
  3. language should be taught by function using the same teaching principles used ot teach other types of behavior
43
Q

why is skinners analysis of verbal behavior useful or important

A
  1. many learners do not generalize words to different situations or uses
  2. languages has many functions
  3. verbal behavior calls for instructors to teach lagaueg according to these functions -requesting, commenting, conversing
44
Q

verbal behavior

A
  1. any behavior foe which reinforcement is mediated by another person, who has been trained to respond
  2. behavior which is dependent on another person to offer reinforcement
  3. behavior which is meant to produce a desired responses from another person
45
Q

verbal verses vocal behavior

A
  1. verbal is not the same as vocal
  2. verbal results in reinforcement from someone else
  3. not all vocal behavior is verbal
  4. some vocal behavior is emitted for the result go gaining socially mediated reinforcement
  5. not all vocal behavior requires a listener
46
Q

verbal behavior

A
  1. skinner called each function of behavior an operant

2. operant-a category of functional relation between response and its controlling variables

47
Q

4 basic verbal operants

A
  1. echoic
  2. mand
  3. tact
  4. intraverbal
48
Q

echoic

A
  1. verbal behavior which is controlled by an matches he verbal antecedent-you hear it you say it
  2. the verbal response matches the verbal response matches the verbal stimulus
  3. the consequence is non specific; anything other than what was specified by the verbal response
49
Q

typical teaching progression-echoics

A
  1. teach vocal imitation of sounds
  2. team vocal imitation of sound blends
  3. imitation of words
  4. imitation of multiple words
50
Q

the echoic review

A
  1. occurs when the learner repeats what was said, and then is provided with an unrelated consequence
  2. is important because it often leads to the development of other operants
  3. is often one of the first operants taught in an aba program
51
Q

them and

A
  1. verbal behavior that is controlled by a motivation antecedent and followed by a consequence that is specific so that motivation- you want it you say you get it
  2. the verbal response is controlled by motivation
  3. the mand is a request
  4. the mand directly benefits the speaker
52
Q

benefits of teaching mands

A
  1. manding is a critical skill for independence and success on a daily basis
  2. mands reduce the occurrence of other innaprpriate mands challenging behaviors decrease (crying and aggression)
53
Q

benefits of teaching mands

A
  1. mands are acquired faster than other verbal operants
  2. directly benefit learner
  3. more motivation to learn
  4. mands facilitate the aquisition of other verbal operants
  5. learning mand behaviors results in faster learning of other verbal skills
54
Q

instructional guidelines

A
  1. goal is to establish pure mands
  2. pure operant
  3. pure mand
  4. impure to pure
55
Q

pure operant

A

only controlled by the primary antecedent variable

56
Q

pure mand

A

only controlled by motivation, and not dependent on other cues or prompts from other people

57
Q

impure to pure

A

initially promo (or extra cues may be needed to help an individual to learn to mand

58
Q

typical teaching progression

A
  1. simple single word mands
  2. complex mands frames and sentences
  3. teach mands with descriptors
  4. softened mands
59
Q

mands lead to development of other language skills

72
Q

static vs flexible responding

A
  1. distinguish between static verse flexible responding

its static because it won’t change

73
Q

flexible example

A

“what did you do today?” “ I went to school” “I saw a movie” “I played a game” etc

it is flexible because it changes
