ABA and Systems Support | Qs & As| Grade A| 100%
Correct (Verified Answer)
Unconditioned Reinforcer - ANSWERNot learned
Ex. food and water
Applied Behavioral Analysis - ANSWERThe science devoted to the understanding and
improvement of human behavior.
Socially Significant Behaviors - ANSWERBehaviors that have immediate and long
term benefits for the person engaging in them.
Social Significance - ANSWER*To what extent will the proposed behavior change
improve the person's life experience?
*The presumption that we are always targeting behavior for the better of the ind. is
not ethically acceptable.
-Target behaviors should not be chosen for the benefit of others
*Accountability is necessary
BF Skinner - ANSWER-Operant Conditioning: Reinforcement and Punishment
Ivan Pavlov - ANSWER-Respondent or classical conditioning the process of pairing
stimuli so than an unconditioned stimulus elicits a response (reflexive behavior)
Independent Variable - ANSWERRefers to the intervention being used to change
behavior
Dependent Variable - ANSWERThe behavior targeted to change
7 Dimensions of ABA - ANSWER(1) Applied (2) Behavioral (3) Analytic (4)
Technological (5) Conceptually Systematic (6) Effective (7) Generality
JB Watson - ANSWER-father of behaviorism
-focused on observable behaviors
Baseline - ANSWERWhat the child's behavior starts or looks like before therapy
Intervention - ANSWERStudy/Therapy
Respondent Behavior - ANSWER-that happens in response to some stimuli, and is
essential to an organism's survival. This behavior is characterized by involuntary
action
-elicited by antecedent stimuli, also known as phylogenic behavior
, example: the pupil starts to flicker when exposed to direct sunlight. If the pupil does
not flicker, the eye will be more exposed to sun rays, which may lead to blindness
Respondent Conditioning - ANSWERThe principle of respondent conditioning states
that if a neutral stimulus is followed closely in time by an unconditioned stimulus
which elicits an unconditioned response then the previously neutral stimulus will
also tend to elicit the response in the future
Operant Conditioning - ANSWERReinforcing consequences immediately following the
response increases it's future likelihood: aversive consequences immediately
following the response decrease it's future likelihood
-OC occurs automatically
-Immediate consequences has the greatest effect
-Consequences only effect future behavior
-Consequences select any behavior that has preceded them
Reinforcement and Punishment
Pos. & Neg. - ANSWER
Effect and Operation - ANSWEREffect: Did the behavior increase?
Operation: A consequence is delivered
Unconditioned Stimulus - ANSWERproduces an automatic, natural reaction
Unconditioned Response - ANSWERbehavior that occurs naturally due to a given
stimulus
Unconditioned Reinforcers - ANSWER-Food
-Water
-Sexual Stimulation
Unconditioned Punishers - ANSWERStimulus (light, sound, temp.) which is intensified
enough that's it's delivery will decrease or decrease fully behavior
Reinforcers
What can effect reinforcement - ANSWERSatiation: To satisfy fully
Deprivation: To lack necessities
Conditioned Response - ANSWERan automatic response established by training to an
ordinarily neutral stimulus
Conditioned Reflexes - ANSWER-Produced by respondent conditioning.
-Stimulus-Stimulus pairing procedure in which a neutral stimulus is presented with
an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits the conditioned response
