SAFEMDS Flashcards
temporarily decreases the value of a stimulus
Abolishing Operation (AO)
horizontal or x-axis
Abscissa
evaluate functional relationships
Analytic
stimulus (change) that precedes behavior
Antecedent
science used to improve socially significant behavior
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
response prevents/postpones presence of aversive stimulus
Avoidance
founder of the science of behavior
B.F. Skinner
teach last step of a task analysis first
Backward Chaining
independent variable not yet implemented
Baseline
anything a person does that can be observed and measured
Behavior
scientific approach to the study of behavior
Behaviorism
teach steps of a complex behavior
Chaining
response occurs in the presence of CS
Conditioned Reflex (CF)
NS paired with US; elicits response
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
stimulus (change) that follows behavior
Consequence
if-then relationship
Contingency
effect, measured
Dependent Variable (DV)
withholding stimulus temporarily increases reinforcer effectiveness
Deprivation
lawful
Determinism
reinforcer delivered for a class of responses but not for others
Differential Reinforcement
stimulus signals reinforcer is available
Discriminitive Stimulus (Sd)
measure total time response occurs
Duration
events are objectively observed, described and measured
Empericism
all stimuli that can affect behavior
Environment
temporarily increases the value of a stimulus
Establishing Operation (EO)
response terminates aversive stimulus
Escape
scientific examination of the principles of behavior
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
response occurs, reinforcer does not follow, R-S relation weakens
Extinction
reinforcer delivered for the first correct response after a passage of time
Fixed Interval (FI)
reinforcer is delivered after a specific # of responses
Fixed Ration (FR)
teach first step of a task analysis first
Forward Chaining
MO-A-B-C
Four term Contingency
count
Frequency
one event dependent upon another
One event dependent upon another
responses look different but have the same effect
Functional Response Class
response occurs in the presence of similar stimuli
