Unit 3 Flashcards
Antecedent interventions are
Manipulations of environmental events that occur prior to the behavior
Generic antecedent interventions
Can have effects on behavior regardless of function
Environmental enrichment provides
Continuous, noncontingent access to items and activities of interest
Antecedent exercise engages
Individuals in noncontingent systematic program of effortful activities
Progressive relaxation exercise involves
Systematically tensing and releasing different body parts
Behavioral relaxation exercise involves
Teaching individuals to tense and release different body part
Cushion antecedent predictors involves
Identifying the event that evokes problem behavior
Cushion antecedent predictors:
Modify events to (2)
1) Abolish their effects
2) Abate problem behavior
“Do not mention bad behavior” means to
Avoid talking about a person’s problem behavior in front of them
Medical treatment
Targets health-related issues that affect problem behavior
Noncontingent restraints and protective equipment
Equipment used to restrict and prevent problem behavior
Function-based antecedent interventions are designed to
Correlate with the variables maintaining the behavior
Discriminative stimulus control strategies develop
Discriminative control over behavior
Discriminative stimulus control strategies establish
SDs for prosocial behavior
Discriminative stimulus control strategies transfer
Control to the natural environment
In a time-based schedules
Stimulus is added or removed at a point in time independent of responding
Stimulus fading in
Antecedent stimulus is removed and then gradually reintroduced
Stimulus fading in is used with…
Escape-maintained behavior
Stimulus fading in: Fading in only occurs
Contingent on the absence or low levels of problem behavior
Graduated exposure/desensitization
Gradually introduce stimuli least to most likely to evoke or elicit behavior
Graduated exposure/desensitization is used with
Operant and respondent behavior
Graduated exposure/desensitization: Fading in only occurs
Contingent on the absence of problem and respondent behavior
Curricular/instructional revision
Changing task demands that evoke problem behavior
Provide choice allows the learner to (4)
1) Pick the task they want to do
2) Order the tasks
3) Select the time of day
4) Select who to do the task with and how
Relocation
Move the individual from the environment evoking problem behavior
Move locale of activities
Relocate activities to a new environment
Antecedent intervention:
What underlies the effectiveness (4)
1) MO
2) SD
3) Contingency-breaking
4) Restricting ability to engage in behavior
Time-based schedules AKA
Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR)
