Training Flashcards
Confidentiality & Safety
-Keep clients informed to yourself
-use clients ID and first initial/clinical acronym when referring to client by talking and taking data (ex: Alexis Ortiz (AlOr
-clients name will NEVER be on any documents
-adult caregivers that have been approved MUST always be present
ABCs of behavior
Antecedent
Behavior
Consequence
Antecedent
What happens before behavior
Behavior
What was the response, what does this behavior look like?
Consequence
What happens after the behavior
Discrete Trial Trasining
-Uses SD (antecedent): cue that reinforcement is available
-structured trials
Discrete Trial Training Guidelines
-establish attention first
-speak LOUDLY and CLEARLY
-be clear and concise
-follow SD and summary sheet
-keep appropriate space
-NO QUESTIONS unless SD is a question
-DO NOT repeat SD before providing consequence
-DO NOT include name in SD
Responses (Discrete Trial Training)
- 3-5 second waiting period
- response is defined in summary response
-incorrect responses: additional behaviors w/ response, wrong response, no response
Reinforcement
-HAS. To occur immediately after following CORRECT behavior
-pair with social reinforcers
-save high preferred reinforces for difficult or longer task
-vary reinforcers
Continuous Reinforcement
-every occurrence of each correct box is reinforced
-used when teaching skills/behavior on acquisition
Intermittent Reinforcement
-some occurrences of behavior are reinforced and some are not
-used to maintain established skills/behaviors
Priming
Letting client know when a transition is coming up (aka: warning)
Premack principle
Reinforcing low preffered activity with the opportunity to endanger in high preferred activity
Token Economy Reinforcement
systems in which h tokens are earned for appropriate behavior and exchanged later for reinforcers
Establishing operation
Type of motivating operation that makes stimulus more desirable
(Ex: if hadn’t eaten before session food may be a good reinforcer}
Abolishing operation
Type of motivating opertation that makes the stimulus less desirable (if previously played video games, video games may not be a good reinforcer)
Differential Reinforcement
-High (5-7 min)
-medium (3-4 min)
-Low (1-2 min)
Preference Assessment Testing EXAMPLE
-provide choices:
-Bubbles or hula hoop
-hula hoop or coloring
-coloring or bubbles
Inter Trial Interval
-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
Providing additional assistance to the student in order to promote a correct response
Prompting hierarchy (most intrusive to least)
-Physical (FP/PP)
-Verbal (FV/PV)
-Visual (FV/PV)
-Model (FM/PM)
-Gestural (FG/PG)
-Positional (FPO/PPO)
What types of prompts to use: when do we use most to least prompts
-teaching a new skill; difficulty or presented with a new or more challenging behavior
What types of prompt to use: least to most
-when teaching a learned or mastered skill
What to do when there’s an incorrect trial
Incorrect response trials are followed by prompted response trials, fade the prompt, aim to end lesson on a correct response
Errorless prompting/learning
-prompting each trial to ensure client does not have an incorrect response
-gradually fading out prompts
-fading prompts
-incorrect should never occur
