Unit 2 Flashcards
Poorly credentialed individuals in the 1960s who conducted trendy, unscientific seminars about behavior modification.
Behavior modifiers
The phenomenon in which a change in one component of multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule.
Behavioral contrast
A procedure for implementing response cost in which the person is provided a reservoir of reinforcers that are removed in predetermined amounts contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior.
Bonus response cost
A procedure for implementing time out in which the person is repositioned within an existing setting such that observation of ongoing activities remains, but access to reinforcement is lost.
Contingent observation
A core ethical principle that states that the behavior analyst must work diligently to ensure that patients are not injured in any way.
Do no harm
A procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of a target behavior, the person is removed physically from the current environment for a specified period.
Exclusion time-out
The first set of official guidelines that regulated the conduct of behavior analysts
FABA Code of Ethics
A stimulus change that, as a result of having been paired with many other punishers, functions as punishment under most conditions because it is free from the control of motivating conditions for specific types of punishment.
Generalized conditioned punishment
A procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of an inappropriate behavior, the student is removed from the classroom to a hallway location near the room for a specified period of time.
Hallway time-out
A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus, or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus, that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.
Negative punishment
A procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person remains within the setting, but does not have access to reinforcement, for a specified period.
Nonexclusion time-out
A behavior change tactic based on positive punishment in which, contingent on the problem behavior, the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior directly or logically related to fixing the damage caused by the behavior.
Overcorrection
An exclusion procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person remains within the instructional setting, but stays behind a wall, shield, or barrier that restricts the view.
Partition time-out
A procedure in which social reinforcers- usually attentions, physical contact, and verbal interaction- are withheld for a brief period contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior.
Planned ignoring
A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on an occurrence of the target behavior, the learner is required to repeat a correct forms of the behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior, a specified number of time; entails an educative component.
Positive practice overcorrection
