Responses (Discrete Trial Training)

Answer 8

• 3-5 second waiting period
• response is defined in summary response
  -incorrect responses: additional behaviors w/ response, wrong response, no response

Reinforcement

Answer 9

-HAS. To occur immediately after following CORRECT behavior
-pair with social reinforcers

Question 12

Priming

Answer 12

Letting client know when a transition is coming up (aka: warning)

Premack principle

Answer 13

Reinforcing low preffered activity with the opportunity to endanger in high preferred activity

Question 14

Token Economy Reinforcement

Answer 14

systems in which h tokens are earned for appropriate behavior and exchanged later for reinforcers

Question 15

Establishing operation

Answer 15

Type of motivating operation that makes stimulus more desirable
(Ex: if hadn’t eaten before session food may be a good reinforcer}

Question 19

Inter Trial Interval

Answer 19

-short period of time between trials
-set up stimuli
-present SD
-Student Responds correctly
-verbal praise
-describe target behavior
-student receives reinforcer
-BT scores trial

Prompting

Answer 20

Providing additional assistance to the student in order to promote a correct response

Question 21

Prompting hierarchy (most intrusive to least)

Answer 21

-Physical (FP/PP)

Answer 22

-teaching a new skill; difficulty or presented with a new or more challenging behavior

Question 23

What types of prompt to use: least to most

Answer 23

-when teaching a learned or mastered skill

Question 24

What to do when there’s an incorrect trial

Answer 24

Question 25

Errorless prompting/learning

Answer 25

-prompting each trial to ensure client does not have an incorrect response
