RBT - ABA
ABA reversal design - answer A single case design on which baseline and intervention
conditions are repeated with the same person.
Alternating treatment design - answer A single case design in which two or more
interventions alternate systematically.
Antecedents - answer Environmental events that occurs before a behavior occurs.
Applied behavior analysis - answer The attempt to solve behavior problems by providing
antecedents and/ or consequences that change a behavior.
Aversion therapy - answer A form of sensitization training in which a stimulus that
arouses an inappropriate positive response is paired with an aversive stimuli.
Backup reinforcer - answerA reinforcer that may be received in exchange for a token.
Backward chaining - answerA chaining procedure that begins with the last element in
the chain and progresses to the first element.
Baseline - answerA period during which the target behavior is recorded, but no attempt
is made to modify it.
Behavior - answerAnything a person does that can be observed.
Behavior analysis - answerThe science of behavior change, the study of functional
relations between behavior and environmental events.
Behavior chain - answerA sequence of related behaviors, each of which provides the
cue for the next, and the last of which produces a reinforcer.
Behavior trapping - answerThe procedure of bringing a target behavior under the
influence of its natural reinforcers by exposing it to those reinforcers.
Behavioral contrast - answerThe tendency for changes in behavior outside the training
environment.
Behavioral repertoire - answerAll things an individual is capable of doing at any given
moment.
Bootleg reinforcement - answerReinforcement that is not part of; and tends to
undermine, an intervention.
, Chaining - answerThe reinforcement of successive elements of a behavior chain.
Conditioned reinforcers - answerReinforcers that are dependent on their association
with other reinforcers.
Conditioning - answerAny procedure by which an event comes to elicit a response by
being paired with an event that elicits that response.
Consequences - answerEnvironmental events that occur after a behavior.
Contingency contract - answerAn agreement between two or more parties about what
each is to do for the other.
Continuous recording - answerRecording each and every occurrence of behavior during
a prescribed time.
Contrived reinforcers - answerReinforcers that have been arranged by someone for the
purpose of modifying behavior.
Counterconditioning - answerThe use of Pavlovian conditioning to undo the adverse
effects of earlier conditions.
Covert behavior - answerBehavior that can be observed only by the person performing
it.
Convert sensitization - answerA variation of aversion therapy in which the paired events
are imagined.
Cumulative frequency graph - answerA graph in which each data point indicates the
total number of times the behavior has occurred up to that point.
Daniel's dictum - answerThe principle that solving behavior problems with behavior
analysis is more difficult than it appears. Daniel's is known for telling people "if you think
the stuff your doing is easy our doing it wrong"
Desensitization training - answerAny form of counterconditioning that reduces an
inappropriate negative response to an event.
Differential reinforcement - answerAny procedure that combines extinction and
reinforcement to change the frequency of a target behavior.
Discrimination training - answerAny procedure that results in a target behavior having
different frequencies in different situations.
