132 Multiple choice questions
Term 1 of 132
Prompt
The speed at which the trials are being presented (Time delay b/w trials; Inter-trial interval)
A stimulus is presented in addition to the SD that evokes the target response
A stimulus presented to a child which reinforces a response
Procedures used to systematically identify preferred stimuli that may function as
reinforcers
Definition 2 of 132
Behavior itself produces the reinforcement
Socially mediated reinforcement
Positive punishment
Automatic reinforcement
Positive reinforcement
,Term 3 of 132
Extinction
A response reduction procedure in which bx is weakened by the removal of a specified
amount of a reinforcer, contingent upon the occurrence of the problem bx.
A chain of sequence of SDs and responses where each response in the sequence (expect
for the last one) produces the SD for the next response in the sequence; A complex bx that
is comprised of many single responses that occur in a specific sequence
A procedure by which a bx that was previously reinforced no loner received reinforcement
and the probability of the behavior decreases. Examples include planned ignoring, escape
extinction, and sensory extinction/response blocking.
The absence or reduction of a reinforcer for a period of time. The deprivation is an
establishing operation that inc. the effectiveness of reinforcers
Term 4 of 132
Examples of social positive reinforcement
1. Indirect
2. Descriptive
3. Experimental functional analyses
Escape from demands, escape from aversive setting, escape from sensory stimuli
Attention, access to tangibles
Reinforcing every occurence of a specific behavior. this is used when teaching new
behaviors.
,Definition 5 of 132
Systematically increasing the time between presentations of the target SD by gradually increasing
the number of previously mastered targets between trials of the target
Discrete Trial Training (dtt)
Expanded Trials
Response Blocking
Graduated Random Rotation
Definition 6 of 132
Ranging from poorly integrated verbal and nonverbal comm.; to abnormalities in eye contact and
body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial
expressions and non-verbal comm.
Examples of effective nonverbal cues in communication
Instances of enhanced social engagement techniques
Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interactions
Strengths in verbal communication skills
Definition 7 of 132
1. Topography
2. Context
3. Intensity
4. Frequency
4 reasons a behavior can be problematic
Types of Antecedent Based Interventions
Skinner's Four Verbal Operants
Expressive Behavior
, Definition 8 of 132
Prompting a client to engage in a different bx than they are trying to engage in
Satiation
Extinction
Response Blocking
Redirection
Definition 9 of 132
The bx on extinction briefly increases in frequency, duration, or intensity before it decreases and
stops.
Spontaneous Recovery
Extinction Burst
Attention Extinction
Contingency
Term 10 of 132
DTT 4 Step Process
A procedure by which a bx that was previously reinforced no loner received reinforcement
and the probability of the behavior decreases. Examples include planned ignoring, escape
extinction, and sensory extinction/response blocking.
All of the SD-Response components of the chain are taught during every learning trial. A
reinforcer is delivered after each SD-Response component.
Simultaneous presentation 1. MT current target alone 2. Mass trial current target with
unknown 3. MT current target with one or more known distracters 4. Randomly rotate
current target with one or more previously mastered targets
Used with successive presentation: 1. Mass trial target 1 alone 2. Mass trial target 2 alone 3.
RR targets 1 and 2
