naturalistic interventions
ABA into the natural environment, or into a learner’s everyday routines and activities so that the acquired skills may be more easily generalized.
PROS of NET/NI
- generalization
- improvements in untargeted skills
CONS of NET/NI
- relies on their motivation
- requires improv on the spot
- possible inconsistency
behavior chain
A specific sequence of individual responses that are linked together to produce a terminal outcome; A SET OF STIMULUS (SD)
chaining
the components of a task analysis form the behavior chain
task analysis
breaking down a complex skill into smaller teachable units to develop a series of tasks
forward chaining
the steps in the task analysis are taught in their naturally occurring order. 1 step at a time. reinforcement after you complete ALL steps youve led up to
total-task chaining
The learner is trained EVERY step of the task analysis until he/she is able to perform the entire task independently. STRONGEST REINFORCER AT END OF CLASS
backward chaining
The initial steps of the task analysis are completed by the instructor, except for
the final step
frequency
counting the number of times that a target behavior occurs within a specific time interval
duration
determines the length of time from the behaviors beginning to end. add them all up at the end.
latency
measures how long it takes for a student to begin a task after instruction
partial interval recording
record if the behavior occurs at any time during the interval; you dont have to watch the entire time
whole interval recording
record the behavior occurs throughout the entire interval; best for behaviors you wanna INCREASE
momentary time sampling
record when the behavior is occurring at the moment the interval ENDS
what are the functions of behavior
attention, escape, tangibles, sensory
tier 3
intensive, individualized interventions and supports; IEP, individual counseling, referral to other agencies
tier 2
targeted, supplemental interventions and supports; group counseling, anger management, social skills; 15% of kids, ZQ/RV
tier 1
core, universal instruction and support; gen academic and behavior support provided to ALL STUDENTS; those programs about anti-bullying; 4:1 ratio of positive gestures, YAY PRAISE NOT INTEL
noncontingent reinforcement
given to learner for free. ex: 3 min break every 15 mins despite their behavior
demand fading
decreasing the amount of work that you ask the learner to do
task modification
changing some aspect of how you ask the learner to work
behavior momentum
pasta pasta veggie; ask for something easy then make it harder for higher chance of doing it
DRA
attention: converse when no yelling
tangible: give child toy when sharing; dont give if they hit other for it
escape: break when you complete work, none if not
automatic: singing instead of bring vocalizations
