RBT Module 8 Flashcards
Vocal imitation evoked by an antecedent verbal stimulus
Echoic
Answering, explaining, discussing, engaging in conversation that is evoked by other verbal stimuli
Intraverbal
The individual who provides the antecedents and consequences for the speaker. AKA the mediator
Listener
Requesting, asking or commanding under the control of a motivating operation, and that is reinforced by a specific reinforcer
Mand
The person engaging in verbal behavior. AKA the verbalizer
Speaker
Naming, labeling, or describing that is evoked by a non-verbal stimulus that allows the speaker to identify features of the environment
Tact
Communication that is reinforced by the actions of a listener (2 words)
Verbal behavior
Functional units of language that constitute an individual’s verbal repertoire. Each has different effects on the environment (2 words)
Verbal operants
Direct preference assessments
Direct preference assessments
This type of preference assessment methodology includes: free operant, single item, paired choice and multiple stimulus (3 words)
Direct preference assessments
A systematic preference assessment during which approach or duration-based measures are used to determine preferred items. Types include free operant, single item, paired choice and multiple stimulus (3 words)
Direct preference assessments
Preference assessment during which a client is allowed to freely approach and interact with items in the environment (4 words)
Free-operant preference assessment
Reinforcers that are harmful to the health and development of the client (2 words)
Harmful reinforcers
Assessments during which preference is determined by interview or questionnaire (3 words)
Indirect preference assessments
Two variations of multiple-stimulus preference assessments (2 words)
MSW, MSWO
Preference assessment during which all items are presented on the first trial and selected items from each trial are NOT reintroduced into the array
MSWO
Preference assessment during which 3-7 items are presented simultaneously (2 words)
Multiple-stimulus
MSW stands for (4 words)
Multiple-stimulus with replacement
Preference assessment during which all items are presented on each trial and selected items are returned to the array.
(4 words)
Multiple-stimulus with replacement (MSW also acceptable)
MSWO stands for (4 words)
Multiple-stimulus without replacement
Preference assessment during which all items are presented on each trial and selected items are NOT returned to the array (4 words)
Multiple-stimulus without replacement (MSWO also acceptable)
Preference assessment during which stimuli are presented in pairs and the item selected is recorded for each trial. Each item is paired at least once with every other item. Report as a percentage of selections (2 words)
Paired-stimulus (forced-choice also acceptable)
Process by which a client’s preferences are determined (2 words)
Preference assessment
Preference assessment during which items are placed, one at a time, in front of the person and the observer records whether or not the person engages with the item (3 words)
Single-item approach
Preference assessment during which items are placed, one at a time, in front of the person and the observer records the duration of interaction with each item (3 words)
Single-item duration
A schedule of reinforcement that specifies that each and every response is reinforced (2 words)
Continuous schedule (CRF or FR1 also acceptable)
Schedule during which reinforcement is withheld following instances of the target behavior
Extinction (EXT also acceptable)
A schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is delivered for the first response after a set amount of time (2 words)
Fixed interval (FI also acceptable)
Schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is delivered after a set number of responses and this value does not change from one delivery to the next (2 words)
Fixed ratio (FR also acceptable)
Schedule of reinforcement that specifies that some responses are reinforced while others are not (2 words)
Intermittent schedule
Four parameters of reinforcement
Quality
Immediacy
Magnitude
Duration
Specifies the response requirements for earning reinforcement (3 words)
Schedule of reinforcement
Behavior change system that includes conditioned reinforcers that can be exchanged for backup reinforcers (2 words)
Token economy
Schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is delivered for the first response after a time period that varies around some average value (2 words)
Variable interval (VI schedule of reinforcement)
Schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is delivered after a number of responses that varies around some average value (2 words)
Variable ratio (VR also acceptable)
