Prev, Pheno and Aeito Flashcards
What are the 5 types of intervention avaliable?
Prevention Biological Educational Psychological Social/sociological
What percentage of ID show challenging behaviours?
10-15%
What percentage show stereotyped behaviours?
5-40%
What did Hutt and Hutt (1985) state about stereotyped behaviours?
The arousal hypothesis: U-shaped curve of when stereotype happens against level of arousal
Define stereotyped behaviours.
Repetitive body movement invariance that serves no social function.
What is the percentage of aggression?
15-20%, but 40% never injure anyone
What is the prevalence of SIB?
4-20%
What is a risk factor for SIB?
Profound ID
What are some possible reasons behind SIB?
- Response to illness
- Self-restraint
- Comorbidity of movement disorders
- Operant behaviour
- Neurotransmitter disturbance
What influences the prevalence of these behaviours in ID?
- Methodological issues: e.g. time/criteria
- Sampling issues: e.g. age, comorbidity
What are the classes of reinforcement (table)?
- Presented on response + Strengthened = positive reinforcement
- Removed on response + Strengthened= negative reinforcement
- Presented on response + weakened = positive punishment
- Removed on response + weakened = negative punishment
what are 3 types of operant reinforcement model processes?
- Positive social reinforcement: attention, tangibles
- Negative social reinforcement: Task escape
- Automatic reinforcement: sensory/perceptual
Where can we see evidence for operant reinforcement models?
- single case experimental designs
- interventions
- natural observations
Describe the social communication function of Challenging Behaviour in regards to positive reinforcement.
Need for others to do/give something -> CB -> Aversive (concern, frustration, anxiety) -> ACTION -> Engage (comfort, reprimand, restrain, occupy) -> Reward: positive reinforcement -> Increased chance of CB -> need for others to do/give something
What evidence is there for positive reinforcement of CB due to social communicative functions?
Hall & Oliver, 1992: Probability of social contact was at its lowest for the longest time before CB, decreased once behaviour had ended and went back to a middle rate of social contact.
Establishing Operation: Wants social contact
Resistant to extinction because schedule of getting social contact is unpredictable.
