Vocab & Practice Exam Q/A Flashcards
Having two different relationships with one client
Multiple Relationships
What should you do if you are arrested for a minor marijuana charge?
Report to your BCBA within 30 days
Which antecedent increases or decreases the value of a consequence?
Motivating Operation
You are recording the time it takes from the presentation of the demand (Sd) to the first instance of behavior. What are you measuring?
Latency
How long the behavior occurs refers to what measurement dimension?
Duration
Real or concrete objects or outcomes that result from a behavior; does not actually have to observe the behavior for it to occur and be tracked
Permanent Product
What are the 4 functions of behavior?
Escape, attention, tangible, sensory
Determined by ABC Data
Function
The breakdown of a task into its individual components and steps.
Task Analysis
Signals that reinforcement is available.
Sd
Type of reinforcement; examples are food, water, sex, sleep; no prior learning
Primary Reinforcement
Type of reinforcement; examples are money and tokens; paired
Secondary Reinforcement
_______ increases the future likelihood of a behavior.
Reinforcement
Adding a stimulus which increases the future likelihood of behavior.
Positive Reinforcement
Verbal behavior with point-to-point correspondence; the listener repeats the speaker
Echoic
Removing a stimulus which decreases the future likelihood of behavior.
Negative Punishment
Reinforcement is delivered on the average of every 2 minutes in which the behaviors occur.
VI-2
Variable Interval
Verbal behavior of requesting
Mand
What occurs before the behavior?
Antecedent
What occurs after the behavior?
Consequences
Start with most intrusive prompt
manual guidance, gesture, modeling, no prompt
Most to least prompting
Teaching a task analysis by teaching the first step first.
Forward Chaining
Start with least intrusive prompt
Ex: no prompt, model, gesture, physical
Least to most prompting
Teaching the entire task analysis at once
Total Task Presentation
Reinforcement provided on the average of every 5 correct responses
VR-5
Reinforcement provided every 2 minutes in which behavior occurred.
FI-2
Reinforcement provided every 10 minutes that behavior occurs.
FI-10
MSWO
Multiple stimulus without replacement
FBA
Functional behavior assessment
You provide reinforcement to your client for clapping, and ignore him when he hits.
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
Withholding reinforcement for a target response
Extinction
Time between two successive responses.
Inter-response time
Record a + if behavior occurred at any point during the interval.
Partial Interval Recording
When attempting to assess the function of a client’s behavior, what is often considered the “gold standard” for experimentally identifying function?
Conducting an analog or naturalistic functional analysis is usually considered the best way to identify function
