Q

4 types of discriminative control strategies

A

Develop discriminative stimulus (Sd) for prosocial behavior
Discriminative stimulus (Sd) for problem behaviors into discriminative stimulus for prosocial behavior and SΔs for problem behavior
EOs (establishing operations) for problem behavior inter Sds for prosocial behavior
Transfer of discriminative control

22
Q

Environmental enrichment

A

Non-contingent access to attention, items, and activities, etc. in target setting

23
Q

Antecedent exercise

A

Non-contingently engaged in systematic exercise program

24
Q

Relaxation exercises

A

Progressive relaxation

Behavioral relaxation

25
Q

Cushion antecedent predictors

A

Identify the event evoking the problem behavior and modify it to abate behavior

26
Q

Do not mention bad behavior

A

Do not talk as if the person is not there

27
Q

Medical treatment

A

Used for health-related issues and often treated by a physician

28
Q

Non-contingent restraints

A

Non-contingent addition of highly restrictive protective equipment

29
Q

Time-based schedules

A

Preferred stimulus delivered at point in time without response requirement

30
Q

2 types of time-based schedules

A

Fixed time (FT) and variable time (VT)

31
Q

3 advantages of time-based schedules

A

Breaks contingency and abates problem behavior
Easy to use
More robust effects that DRO or extinction

32
Q

Disadvantage of time-based schedules

A

Does not necessarily increase prosocial replacement behavior

33
Q

7 antecedent interventions for problem behavior maintained by social negative reinforcement

A
Stimulus fading in
Graduated exposure/desensitization
Altering demands (many variations)
Provide choice
Time contingent escape
Relocate client/others
Move locale of activities
34
Q

Stimulus fading in

A

Gradual changes of the antecedent stimulus while the response stays the same

35
Q

Graduated exposure/desensitization

A

Create stimulus hierarchy and gradually introduce stimuli from least to most likely to evoke/elicit

36
Q

4 ways to alter demands

A

Alter timing
Embed demands
Provide assistance
Increase predictability

37
Q

Altering timing

A

Deliver demands when an individual is not engaged in a preferred activity

38
Q

Embed demands

A

Place demands in a context with discriminative stimulus (SDs) for positive reinforcement (SR+)

39
Q

Provide assistance

A

Help the individual engage in difficult/non-preferred tasks

40
Q

Increase predictability

A

Establish a routine or schedule to inform the individual of what is next

41
Q

3 instructional modifications for escape maintained behavior

A

Modify features of the task
Redesign curriculum
Use DI, PT, etc. (direct instruction, preferred task?)

42
Q

Providing choice

A

Options of activities or tasks: order, time of day, who with, how to do it

43
Q

Time-contingent escape

A

Provide frequent breaks on time-contingent schedule

44
Q

Relocate client/move locale of activities

A

Move the client, others, and/or task

Q

A

Time-contingent attention

Discriminative stimulus control strategies

A

Provide attention on a time-contingent schedule

47
Q

Q

Time-contingent access to tangible items/activities
