ANSWER Look likes Servers the same purpose or produces the same consqeuences - ANSWER Functionally equivalent A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which a participant is in a room with free access to reinforcing activities (also known as the "control" condition). - ANSWER Play condition The variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher - ANSWER Independent Descriptive FBAs can identify events that are _____ with the target behavior and suggest hypotheses - ANSWER correlated Pivotal behaviors produce changes in untrained areas, while _____ _____ expose the individual's repertoire to new contingencies. - ANSWER behavior cusps Functionally equivalent means an intervention should serve the same ____ as the problem behavior - ANSWER Function A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which the participant is alone in a room without access to reinforcing activities. - ANSWER Alone condition Behaviroal cusps expose the indivuals repertoire to new environments, especially new _____ and punishers. - ANSWER reinforcers The influence of assessment procedures on the clinets behavior pattern - ANSWER Reactivity measured to determine if it changes as result of manipulations of the I.V. - ANSWER Dependent variable Imitative behavior is a good example of a ______ _____ because it can produce changes in other untrained responses. - ANSWER pivotal behavior The thearpist reinforcing waving with a Skittle is an example of an ___ contingency - ANSWER contrived A pivotal behavior produces corresponding ___ or covariations in other ada[tive untrained behaviors - ANSWER Modifications A contrived contingency does not occur ____. - ANSWER Naturally Crawling is a good example of a ______, because crawling can expose the learner to new reinforcers and punishers - ANSWER Behavioral cusps Functional analysis has three test conditions: contingent attention, contigent _______, and alone. - ANSWER Escape Pivotal behaviors appear to result in _______ positive changes in a number of areas - ANSWER Widespread An FBA obtains info. about relations among specific types of ___ ____ and behaviors - ANSWER Environmental events There are three methods of FBA, indirect ____, and functional analysis - ANSWER Descriptive Indirect FBAs can be structured interviews, ______, rating scales, or questionnaires. - ANSWER Checklists The independent variable is also callled the ___ or thr treatment variable - ANSWER Intervention Functional anaysis is soemtimes called ___ because of the arrangement of variables - ANSWER Analog The therapist creates an intervention that is ____ ___ to the current contingency, it gives access to the same functions - ANSWER functionally equivalent Different behaviors are functionally equivalent if they produce the same - ANSWER Consequences Produces corresponding modifications or covariations in other adaptive untrained behaviors - ANSWER Untrained The term behavioral cusp is _____ and not a universally agreed upon term - ANSWER Subjective Contrived contingencies should be used only when _____ ____ are not available - ANSWER Naturally existing contingency A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which participant behavior is reinforced with escape from demands - ANSWER Escape condition An assessment that obtains information about the functions a behavior serves for an organism. - ANSWER FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) an FBA where antecedents and consqeuences are arranged so thier effects can be observed and measured. - ANSWER functional analysis a condition in a functional analysis that tests if the behavior is maintained by access to specific items - ANSWER Tangible Condition An FBA is used to idenitfy the type and ___ of reinforcement for behaviors - ANSWER Source Indirect observations are "indirect" because they dont involve ____ _____ of the behavior - ANSWER Direct observation Expose the individual's repertoire to new contingencies, new responses, and new stimulus controls. - ANSWER Behavioral cusps In a descriptive assessment, events that have a ____ degree of correlation with the target behavior suggest a functional hypothesis. - ANSWER High The thearpist is assessing the fucntion of behavior by systematically presenting antecedent and consquent conditions. - ANSWER Functional analysis The therapist is assessing the function of behavior by observing and recording in the natural environment. - ANSWER Descriptive FBA Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) designed and implemented by a behavior analyst or practitioner to achieve the acquisition, maintenance, and/or generalization of a targeted behavior change. - ANSWER contrived contingency An assessment that obtains information from persons who are familiar with the organism emitting the target behavior. - ANSWER Indirect FBA When measuring the effects of mand training on spontaneous mands, mand training is the ____ _____. - ANSWER independent variable A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which participant behavior is reinforced with attention. - ANSWER Attention Condition When measuring the effects of mand training on spontaneous mands, spontaneous mands are the ____ ____. - ANSWER Dependent variable
