Once it’s learned in an untrained environment

17
Q

Generative Learning

A 
#Derived Relations 
Enhancing Comprehension of new materials due to previous learning
18
Q

Prioritizing target behaviors

A
  1. Threat to health and safety of client
  2. Frequency
  3. Longevity of problem
  4. Potential for higher rates of reinforcement
  5. Relative importance of target behavior
  6. Reduction of negative attention from peers
  7. Reinforcement for significant others
  8. Liklihood of success
  9. Cost benefit ratio to change client’s behavior
19
Q

4 problem behaviors

A

Sensory
Escape
Attention
Tangible

20
Q

Default Technologies

A

Punishment-Based Interventions often selected arbitrarily

21
Q

Method FBA Pyramid

A
  1. Indirect Assessment
  2. Direct Assessment
  3. FA
22
Q

Functional Analysis

A

FBA method that allows us to communicate hypothesis regarding functional relations between behaviors and environmental events

23
Q

4 Functional Analysis Conditions

A

Contingent Attention
Contingent Escape
Alone
Control

24
Q

3 data collection methods

A

ABC Continuous Recording
ABC narrative recording
Scatterplot

25
Q

ABC Continuous Recording

A

Record occurrences of target behavior problem behaviors and select environmental events within the natural routine during a specified period

26
Q

Advantages of Continuous Recording

A

Precise Measures
Useful contextual information and correlation regarding environmental event and problem behavior.
Calculates conditional

27
Q

Disadvantages of Continuous Recording

A

Often antecedents and consequences do not reliably precede and follow problem behavior, making correlations difficult to detect

28
Q

Conditional Probability

A

Probability that a target behavior will occur in a specific circumstance
Taken ABC data
Helps us hypothesize the function of the behavior

29
Q

Indirect FBA Advantages

A

Contributes the hypothesis development about what may be maintaining problem behavior

Don’t require observation

30
Q

Functional Equivalence

A

When you decrease a behavior, you must select an acceptable alternative behaviors

31
Q

Making recommendation regarding behaviors

A 
Established
Maintained
Increased
Decreased
Conduct a Discrepancy Analysis
32
Q

3 characteristics good operational definitions

A

Objective
Clear
Complete

33
Q

Social Validity

A

Social Significance
Social Appropriate of Procedures
Social Importance

34
Q

2 procedures for identifying effective reinforcers

A

Stimulus Preference Assessment

Reinforcer Assessment

35
Q

Stimulus Preference Assessments

A

Identifies stimuli that are likely to function

36
Q

3 basic methods of stimulus preference assessment

A
  1. Asking about stimulus preferences
  2. Free operant observation
  3. Trial Based Methods
37
Q

3 types of trial based stimulus preference assessments

A
  1. Single Stimulus
  2. Paired Stimulus
  3. Multiple w/ replacement
  4. Multiple w/o replacement
38
Q

Reinforcer Assessment

A

Concurrent
Multiple
Progressive

39
Q

Identifying potential punisher

A

Just like we identify and assess for reinforcers, we must do the same for punishers
