5
Q

Types of discontinuous measurement (3)

A

Partial interval recording—set observation time and break into smaller intervals. Record if behavior occurred during interval or not

Whole interval recording—set observation time and break into intervals. Record if behavior occurred during entire interval or not

Permanent product recording—measure a behavior after it occurred by measuring the lasting effect behavior had on environment

Q

Skill acquisition:

Contingencies of reinforcement types (2)

A

Definition: refers to the circumstances needed to be in place for a behavior to be reinforced

Continuous schedule-reinforcement delivered after every target behavior. Ex. FR1 fixed ratio after 1, FR3 fixed ratio after 3

Intermittent schedule-some, not all, instance of behavior is reinforced. VR3 average ratio of 3

A

Teaching unit using 3 term contingency
Antecedent->prompt->behavior-> consequence

SD-> behavior->reinforcement

Q

Skill acquisition

Discrimination training

A

Provide reinforcement in the presence of one stimulus not the other

Ex. Teaching client to ID banana, give client reinforcement when they say banana after showing them. Don’t reinforce after they say banana when you show them apple

16
Q

Skill acquisition

Stimulus fading

A

Emphasize a physical feature of a stimulus to provide a cue for the learner to engage in behavior. Fade back emphasis

Ex. LZ’s fading block colors in pictures

17
Q

Skill acquisition

Prompt fading procedures

A
Model
Gesture
Verbal
Physical
Least to most

Most to least is opposite

18
Q

Behavior reduction

Antecedent interventions

A

Strategies used before a behavior to make poor behavior less likely to occur

Priming
Motivating operants (reinforcers)
Providing choices
Premake principle (first-then)
Lessening demands
19
Q

Differential reinforcement (3)

A

DRA
DRI
DRO

differential reinforcement of alternate behaviors
Differential reinforcement of incompatible
Differential reinforcement of other behaviors

20
Q

DRA meaning

A

Reinforcement of appropriate behavior and not the problem behavior through extinction

21
Q

DRI meaning

A

Reinforcement of a behavior incompatible to problem behavior. Behavior that can’t occur at the same time as the problem behavior

Ex. Putting hands in mouth the incompatible behavior would be put hands in pocket

22
Q

DRO meaning

A

Reinforcement of the absence of problem behavior

Ex. Reinforcement of RV playing well and giving him attention

23
Q

Crisis emergency plan

A

Parent/caregiver
Staff
911
Inform supervisor as soon as possible

24
Q

Measure rate

A

Count per unit of time

25
Q

Measurement

Interresponse time?

A

The time between the end of one response and the beginning of another (same) response

26
Q

Fixed interval (FI)

A

Reinforcement delivered after a set duration of time

27
Q

Fixed ratio vs fixed interval

A

Count the number or responses and give reinforcement after the set amount of responses

Vs

Use clock or timer to create fixed interval

28
Q

Function of a behavior (4) the why

A

Attention
Escape/avoidance
Sensory stimulation
Access

29
Q

Shaping

A

Reinforcing successive approximation of a target behavior

30
Q

Errorless learning

A

Prompting a correct behavior before an incorrect behavior can happen
