✔✔Interval by interval IOA - ✔✔# intervals w agreement/ Total # intervals x100%
Interval counts
✔✔Scored Interval IOA - ✔✔# int agreement occurred/ total # intervals where bx
occurred (agree/disagree) x100%
Interval counts
✔✔Unscored interval IOA - ✔✔# int agreed not occur/ sum intervals did not occur
(agree/ disagree) x 100%
Interval counts
✔✔Total duration IOA - ✔✔Shorter duration/ Longer duration x 100%
Duration based data
✔✔Mean Duration per occurence - ✔✔Sum (duration IOAs)/ # intervals x 100%
, ✔✔What is Discriminated stimulus? - ✔✔a stimulus in the prescene of which a
response has a higher probability of occurence as it is lkely to be reinforced
✔✔What is TEACCH developed on? - ✔✔understanding the learning characteristics of
individuals w/ autism and the use of visual supports to promote meaning and
independence
✔✔What are the principles of TEACCH? - ✔✔- understanding the culture of Autism
- developing an individualized person- family- centered plan for each clien rather than
using a standard curriculum
- structuring the physical enviornment
- using visual supports to make the sequence of daily activities predictable and
understandable
- using visual supports to make indv tasks understandable
✔✔Why autism is considered a spectrum disorder? - ✔✔ASD can have a range of
symptoms

behaviors, limited or delayed communication, limited or focused interests
✔✔Possible causes of autism - ✔✔Vaccinations, genetic links, premature birth,
exposure to chemicals during pregnancy.
✔✔Minimum number of CEUs per year - ✔✔20
✔✔Target Behavior - ✔✔Behavior selected for change
✔✔What is an observable and measurable behavior? - ✔✔A behavior that can be seen
and measured.
✔✔Difference between classical and operant conditioning. - ✔✔Classical-involuntary
response and a stimulus
Operant- associate a voluntary respinse and consequence
✔✔primary reinforcer - ✔✔an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a
biological need (food, water, sleep, sex)
