Behaviour Modification is now superceded by __________ __________ __________
applied behaviour analysis
Emphasis on current events and stimuli is present in __________ ____________
Behaviour Modification
_________ behaviours: the focus of a behaviour modification program
Target behaviour
Behavioural Assessment leads to defining our _______ behaviour
target
What is the focus of a behaviour modification program?
Target Behaviours
_______ ____________: Defined specifically in order to be measured and monitored to assess change
Target Behaviour
4 Steps in Behavioural Assessment:
1 Identify and describe _______ behaviour
2 Identify possible ________ of behaviour
3 Guide the selection of an appropriate ___________ treatment
4 __________ treatment outcome
Target; Causes; Behavioural; Evaluate
Three branches of Behaviour Analysis:
1 B____________
2 E__________ B________ A_________
3 Applied Behaviour Analysis
Behaviourism; Experimental Behaviour Analysis;
________ __________ (vs ABA) is a broader term describing all explicit applications of behaviour principles
Behaviour Modification
Functional Assessment:
- What are the A_________?
- What are the immediate C___________
Antecedents; Consequences
APPLIED:
- Selected behaviours need to be socially ___________
- Behaviour needs to be I___________ to the individual
- They needs to be important to the individual’s ________
Acceptable; Important; Family
________ of behaviour is a key focus of ABA
Control
If there are several ________ behaviours, it is important to prioritise the behaviours in order of importance
target
Identifying the function of a behaviour = Manipulation of ___________ events + O_________ in changes of behaviour
Environmental; Observation
Behaviour Modification: ANALYTIC
- The aim is to demonstrate a __________ relationship between the treatment and any observed changes in the target behaviour
Functional
Technological: When conducting experiments and implementing behavioural interventions, procedures beed to be thoroughly and accurately __________
described
Conceptually ____________: Interventions need to be based on basic behaviour principles derived from empirically validated research
Systematic
Obtaining _________ behaviour is important to inspecting if your intervention is actually working
Baseline
What are the four dimensions of behaviour? 1 Fr\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 2 Du\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 3 In\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 4 La\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Frequency; Duration; Intensity; Latency
To be known as a behaviour, does it have to have an impact of some kind on the surrounding environment?
Yes
Behavior is _________; that is, its occurrence is systematically influenced by environmental events
lawful
behavior is influenced by, or occurs as a function of, ___________ event
environmental
An _______ behavior is an action that can be observed and recorded by a person other than the one engaging in the behavior.
overt
_______ behaviors, also called private events (Skinner, 1974), are not observable by others.
Covert
__________ __________ is the applied science and professional practice concerned with analyzing and modifying human behavior
Behavior modification
_____________ means identifying the functional relationship between environmental events and a particular behavior to understand the reasons for the behavior or to determine why a person behaved as he or she did
Analyzing
____________ means developing and implementing procedures to help people change their behavior
Modifying
Behavioral _________ and _______ are targets for change with behavior modification procedures
excesses; deficits
In behavior modification, the behavior to he modified is called the _______ _________.
target behavior
A behavioral _________ is an undesirable target behavior the person wants to decrease in frequency, duration, or intensity
excess
A behavioral deficit is a desirable target behavior the person wants to increase in frequency, duration, or intensity
deficit
___________’s core tenets are that behavior is lawful and controlled by environmental events occurring in close temporal relation to the behavior
behaviorism
The scientific study of behavior is called the _________ _________ of behavior, or behavior analysis
experimental analysis
The scientific study of human behavior to help people change behavior in meaningful ways is called ________ _______ ________
applied behavior analysis
Human behavior is controlled by events in the immediate environment, and the goal of behavior modification is to identify these _______ _________
controlling variables
_______ __________ procedures involve specific changes in environmental events that are functionally related to the behavior
Behavior modification
