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
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
