Motivating .Operations .(MO) .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-An .environmental .variable
.that .alters .the .reinforcing .effectiveness .of .some .stimulus, .object, .or .event.
Contingency .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Refers .to .dependent .and/or .temporal
.relations .between .operant .behavior .an .it's .controlling .variables.
Satiation .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Repeated .presentation .of .a .reinforcer .weakens
.its .effectiveness .and .for .this .reason .the .rate .of .responses .declines.
Positive .Reinforcement .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-A .type .of .reinforcement .in .which
.the .presentation .of .the .stimulus .is .contingent .upon .the .response, .resulting .in
.an .increase .in .the .future .probability .of .that .response
Negative .Reinforcement .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-A .type .of .reinforcement .in .which
.removal .of .a .stimulus .is .contingent .on .a .response, .resulting .in .an .increase .in
.the .future .probability .of .that .response.
Positive .Punishment .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-A .type .of .punishment .in .which
.stimulus .presentation .is .contingent .on .a .response, .resulting .in .the .decrease .of
.the .future .probability .of .that .response
Negative .Punishment .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-A .type .of .punishment .in .which
.stimulus .removal .is .contingent .on .a .response, .resulting .in .the .decrease .of .the
.future .probability .of .that .response.
Establishing .Operations .(EO) .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Increases .motivation .for
.something .and .increases .likelihood .you .will .try .to .access .that .reinforcer
Abolishing .Operations .(AO) .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Decreases .motivation .for
.something .and .decreases .likelihood .you .will .try .to .access .that .reinforcer
, Discriminative .Stimulus .(SD) .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-A .stimulus .in .the .presence
.of .which .a .particular .response .will .be .reinforced .and .in .the .absence .of .which
.that .response .will .not .be .reinf
Stimulus .Control .(Discriminative .Control) .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-The .tendency
.for .the .target .behavior .to .occur .in .the .presence .of .the .SD .(b/c .it .was .reinforced
.in .the .past)
Discrimination .Training .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Teach .the .child .to .respond .to/tell
.the .difference .between .two .(or .more) .SDs.
Discrete .Trial .Training .(DTT) .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-A .specific .method .of
.teaching .in .which .a .task .is .isolated .and .taught .across .multiple .trials. .A
.specific .opportunity .(antecedent) .is .presented .and .a .specific .response .is
.expected. .A .consequence .follows .the .response.
Fluency-Based .Training .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Taking .an .existing .skill .and
.increasing .accuracy .and .speed .of .skill .performance .in .order .to .develop
.competence
Errorless .Learning .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Involves .early .and .immediate
.prompting .of .the .target .response .so .that .the .learner's .response .is .sure .to .be
.correct.
Most-to-Least .Prompting .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Fading .from .one .type .of .prompt
.to .another .less .intrusive .prompt. .Most .assistance .to .least .assistance.
Least-to-Most .Prompting .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Staring .with .a .least .intrusive
.prompt .possible .and .the .client .is .not .successful, .therefore .having .to .move .to
.more .intrusive .prompts .until .the .client .responds.
Chaining .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-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
Forward .Chaining .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Begin .with .the .first .SD-Response
.component .in .the .chain .and .then .continue .forward .though .the .remaining .SD-
Response .components
Backward .Chaining .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Begin .with .the .final .step, .or .the .last
.SD-Response .component, .then .move .backwards .towards .the .remaining
.components
Total .Task .Presentation .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-All .of .the .SD-Response
.components .of .the .chain .are .taught .during .every .learning .trial. .A .reinforcer .is
.delivered .after .each .SD-Response .component.
