NCR

A

Non Contingent Reinforcement

128
Q

FCT

A

Functional Communication Training

129
Q

Behavior Momentum

A

Refers to the tendency for behavior to persist following a change in environmental conditions. The greater the rate of reinforcement, the greater the behavioral momentum,

130
Q

Enriched Environment

A

To fill an environment with a variety of new and favorite challenging things to engage with, either with out bodies or our minds

131
Q

Providing Choices

A

Gives the learner a sense of autonomy while still maintaining that behavioral control (i.e., forced choice)

132
Q

Schedule Modification

133
Q

Extinction

A

The discontinuing of reinforcement of previously reinforced behavior (i.e., responses no longer produce reinforcement)

134
Q

Replacement Behavior

A

Used to substitute behaviors that limit learning and inclusion with behaviors that help promote success in the learning environment or real world across daily-living tasks.

135
Q

Extinction Burst

A

A predictable, temporary increase in the rate and intensity of a behavior when an extinction procedure is first used

136
Q

Extinction-Induced Variability

A

New topographies of a behavior may temporarily occur during the extinction phase to attempt access to reinforcement to get the same type of reinforcement that is on extinction

137
Q

Spontaneous Recovery

A

A behavior reappears after it has decreased or stopped entirely during extinction procedure.

138
Q

Differential Reinforcement

A

Differential reinforcement requires both reinforcement and extinction. DR involved 2 responses and typically 1 increases and 1 decreases

139
Q

DRA

A

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior
Reinforces occurrences of a bx. that provides a desirable alternative to the problem bx. but is not necessarily incompatible with it.
REPLACEMENT BEHAVIORS

140
Q

DRO

A

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors
Reinforcement is delivered when the bx. has not occurred during specific times.
Reinforcement is provided for not engaging in the target bx.
Results decrease in target bx and theoretically result in an increase of all other behavior

141
Q

DRI

A

Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior
Reinforces a bx. that cannot occur simultaneously with the PBx and withholds reinforcement following instances of PBx.
One behavior would have to be incompatible with the target bx.

142
Q

DRH

A

Differential Reinforcement of Higher Rates of Behavior
Reinforcer is delivered at the end of a specific interval if a target bx. has occurred at a criterion rate (higher than the target bx. rate)

143
Q

DRL

A

Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates of Behavior
Used to reduce the occurrence of the behavior, but not get rid of it completely.
Reinforcer is delivered at the end of a specific interval if a target bx. has occurred at a criterion rate (lower than the target bx. rate)

144
Q

Multiple Relationships

145
Q

Rapport Building

146
Q

Types of M.O.s

A

E.O., A.O., C.M.O., U.M.O.

147
Q

M.O.

A

Motivation Operation – An environmental variable that alters the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and alters the current frequency of all behaviors that has been reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object, or event.
Changing how valuable a reinforcer is

148
Q

A.O.

A

Abolishing Operations. A motivating operation that decreases the effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event.
For example, the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion.

149
Q

E.O.

A

Establishing Operation. A motivation operation that increases the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer.
For example, food deprivation establishes food as an effective reinforcer.

150
Q

C.M.O.

A

Conditioned Motivation Operation.
The M.Os that one learns to place on an item.
For example; jewelry, cell phone, video games, perfume

151
Q

U.M.O

A

Unconditioned Motivating Operations.
Events, operations, and stimulus conditions with value altering motivating effects that are unlearned.
For example; food, shelter, warmth, sleep

152
Q

Premack Principle

A

Engaging in more probable behaviors or activities can reinforce engaging in less probable behaviors or activities (i.e., “First…then”)

153
Q

Premack Principle

A

Engaging in more probable behaviors or activities can reinforce engaging in less probable behaviors or activities (i.e., “First…then”)
