Unit 5 Flashcards
Differential reinforcement of other behavior
A procedure for decreasing problem
behavior in which reinforcement is contingent
on 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 in which reinforcement is delivered for a 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 n 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 evoke 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 verbal 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.
