Unit 5 Flashcards
Differential reinforcement of other behavior
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent of the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times
DRO
Differential reinforcement of other behavior
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior
DRA
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
Functional behavior assessment
A systematic method of assessment for obtaining information about the purpose of a problem behavior serves for a person
Functional communication training
An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evokes by an establishing operation
FCT
Functional communication training
Verbal behavior
Behavior whose reinforcement is mediated by a listener
Speaker
Someone who engages in verbal behavior by emitting mands, tacts, intraverbals, autoclitics, and so on
Listener
Someone who provides reinforcement for verbal behavior
Verbal operants
Mand Tact Echoic Intraverbal Codic Duplic
Nonverbal operants
Manded stimulus selection Manded compliance (listener responses)
Mand
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by an MO and followed by a specific reinforcement
Tact
An elementary verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement
Intraverbal
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that does not have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus
Codic: textual
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence, but not formal similarity, between the stimulus, behavior, and consequence
Codic: transcription
An elementary verbal operant involving a spoken verbal stimulus that evokes a written, typed, or finger-spelled response
Duplic: echoic
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the response
Duplic: copying words
An elementary verbal operant that is evoked by a nonvocal verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the corresponding response
Duplic: imitating signs
Verbal discriminative stimulus in the form of signs
Multiply controlled operant
Single verbal response is a function of more than one variable and what is said has more than one antecedent source of control
Autoclitic
A secondary verbal operant in which some aspect of a speaker’s own verbal behavior functions as an SD or an MO for additional speaker behavior
Manded stimulus selection
Selecting a named item or following a direction to complete a task
Transferring stimulus control from one operant to another
When a response form occurs reliably as one specific operant, gradually introduce the antecedent and consequence conditions of a new operant and fade the conditions of the original operant until this same response form occurs as the new operant
Topography-based response forms
Saying words
Forming gestures or signs
Writing words
Making distinctive sounds
Selection-based response forms
Pointing to pictures, symbols, or words on a board or
an electronic device without voice output
Selecting pictures, symbols, or words and handing
these pictures to another person
Touching pictures, symbols, or words on an electronic
device with voice output
Activating a switch which selects pictures, symbols, or
words on an electronic device with voice output
Typing letters and words
Making Braille patterns with a Braille writer
Pointing to or touching items
With signs
Learners will be able to acquire more skills and communicate a greater variety of messages with more detail to a smaller audience
With picture selection
Learners will be able to acquire fewer skills and communicate fewer and less detailed messages, but to a larger audience
