Q

How are respondent and operant behaviors distinguished from one another?

25
Q

What is applied behavior analysis?

A

The attempt to solve behavior problems by providing antecedents and/or consequences that change behavior

26
Q

What is behavioral excess?

A

A behavior that occurs too often

27
Q

What are behavioral deficits?

A

A behavior that doesn’t occur often enough

28
Q

What is the primary difference between individuals with difficulties and those without difficulties?

A

The behaviors they produce and the frequency

29
Q

What is the medical model?

A

The view that behavior is merely a symptom of an underlying psychological disorder

30
Q

What is symptom substitution?

A

The idea that if a behavior problem is solved without resolving the underlying psychological disorder, another behavior problem will take its place

31
Q

Is there scientific evidence that symptom substitution exists?

A

No

32
Q

What is Daniels’ Dictum?

A

If you think this stuff is easy, you’re doing it wrong.

33
Q

What is the point of Daniels’ Dictum?

A

Applying behavior analysis is not easy

34
Q

What is behavioral assessment?

A
  1. Define the target behavior
  2. Identify functional relations between target behavior and its As and Cs
  3. Identify effective intervention for changing target behavior
35
Q

What is a target behavior?

A

The behavior to be changed by an intervention

36
Q

What does a target behavior require?

A

An operational definition

37
Q

What is an operational definition?

A

Uses measurable, observable terms

38
Q

What is a functional analysis?

A

The process of testing hypotheses about the functional relations among antecedents, target behavior, and consequences

39
Q

What is a functional assessment?

A

Relies on observation conducted in the natural environment and the use of conditional probabilities to demonstrate relations

40
Q

What is continuous recording?

A

Recording each and every occurrence of a behavior during a prescribed period

41
Q

What kind of behavior is continuous recording useful for?

A

Discrete behaviors that have an obvious beginning and end

42
Q

What is interval recording?

A

Recording whether a behavior occurs during each of a series of short intervals within an observation period

43
Q

Which is more accurate, continuous or interval recording?

A

Continuous

44
Q

What is duration?

A

How long the behavior persists

45
Q

What is intensity?

A

The energy expended to produce behavior

46
Q

What is latency?

A

Amount of time it takes for a behavior to begin following a stimulus

47
Q

What is inter-response time?

A

The amount of time between a behavior ending and the beginning of the next occurrence of the behavior

48
Q

What is inter-observer reliability?

A

A measure of the degree of agreement in data tallies made by two or more observers

49
Q

What is the key to strong reliability?

A

A strong operational definition and practice

50
Q

What is a good inter-observer reliability?

A

90%

51
Q

What is a simple frequency graph?

A

Each data point indicates the number of times a behavior occurred at a particular time

52
Q

What is a cumulative frequency graph?

A

Each data point indicates total number of times the behavior has occurred up to that point

53
Q

What is a single case experimental design?

A

A research design in which the behavior of an individual is compared under experimental and control conditions

54
Q

What is a baseline period?

A

The behavior under study is recorded, but no attempt is made to modify it

55
Q

What is an intervention period?

A

Attempts to modify the behavior are in place while recording the behavior

56
Q

What is an anomaly?

A

An incongruity or inconsistency

57
Q

What is a trend?

A

Increasing, decreasing, zero

58
Q

What is variability?

A

Degree of variance in data points

59
Q

What is ABAB reversal design?

A

A single case design in which baseline and intervention conditions are repeated with the same person

60
Q

What is a multiple baseline design?

A

A single case design in which the effects of an intervention are recorded across situations, behaviors, or individuals

61
Q

What is an alternating treatments design?

A

Single case design in which two or more interventions alternate systematically
