Unit 2 Flashcards
FA is the process by which…
Environmental events functionally related to behavior are identified
FA involves…
Systematically manipulating environmental variables
FA stands for?
Functional analysis
A-B FA is where…?
Only antecedents to behavior are manipulated
In an analog FA, the analyst…
Systematically manipulates antecedents and consequences across conditions
An analog FA tests the…?
Effects of antecedents and consequences on behavior
Attention, escape, alone, and tangible are all compared to the…?
Control/play condition
Undifferentiated response patterns occurs when…?
There are no difference in levels of responding across conditions
Multiple control
Behavior maintained by more than 1 reinforcing consequence
Iatrogenic effects
Adverse effects caused by assessment or treatment
A-B FA: Test condition
Specific EO for an individual reinforcer is present
A-B FA: Control condition
Specific EOs for tested reinforcers are absent
A-B FA: Consequences in all conditions…
Are not manipulated
Analog FA aka
Standard FA
Most common experimental design used for analog FA: _____
Multielement
Analog FA conditions (5)
1) Control/play
2) Attention
3) Escape
4) Alone
5) Tangible
Play condition aka
Control condition
Control/play condition:
Antecedent (for target bx)
Enriched environment, time-based attention, no demands
Control/play condition:
Relevant MOs (2)
1) AO for SR- (Takes away negative reinforcement)
2) AO for SR+ (Takes away positive reinforcement)
Control/play condition:
Consequence for target behavior
Behavior is ignored
Attention condition:
Contingency tested:
Social SR+ (attention)
- Positive reinforcement
Attention condition:
Antecedent (for target bx)
Therapist present, not providing attention to learner
Attention condition:
Relevant MOs
EO for SR+ (attention)
Attention condition:
Consequence for target behavior:
Attention
