Term
Antecedent Based Interventions
Definition
In essence, we are avoiding or mitigating the conditions that evoke problem behavior and if we can do so successfully, we won't even see problem behavior.
Term
consequences
Definition
Antecedent Based Interventions are useful when the ____ are unavoidable.
Term
prompt
Definition
The sD serves as a prompt for appropriate behavior.
Term
sD
Definition
Introduce the ____ or appropriate or competing behavior.
Term
s^
Definition
Introduce the ____ for inappropriate behavior to suppress the response.
Term
Removing
Definition
_____ sDs & S^s for Inappropriate behavior.
Term
Consequence Based Interventions
Definition
- Extinction
- Differential Reinforcement
- Alternative Reinforcement
Term
Extinction (EXT)
Definition
The cessation of the functional reinforcement for a previously reinforced response. It makes the behavior nonfunctional because it weakens the functional relation and leads to a nonfunctional response, which decreases
Term
Side effects of Extinction
Definition
- Extinction Burst
- Spontaneous Recovery
- Emotional Behavior
Term
Extinction Burst
Definition
The behavior gets worse before it gets better. There is a change in the dimensions of behavior including:
- Increase in Intensity
- Increase in frequency/rate
- Changes in Duration
- Changes in Latency
- Variability
Term
Spontaneous Recovery
Definition
The Behavior is reinforced then placed on extinction, you get the burst then you get the decrease, and then the behavior recovers to pretreatment levels.
Term
Rules for using Extinction
Definition
- Be aware of the burst, because it is a fairly reliable phenomenon
- Be consistent, because inadvertent reinforcement = intermittent reinforcement = behavior will be maintained
- Reinforce alternative behavior so that there is another manner to obtain reinforcement.
Term
Planned Ignoring
Definition
ATT EXT: Maintained by attention --> _____.
Term
Withholding tangibles
Definition
TANE EXT: Maintained by Tangibles --> _____.
Term
Guided/Prompted by Compliance
Definition
ESC EXT: Maintained by Escape --> ____.
Term
Sensory Extinction (SENSORY EXT)
Definition
The extinction procedure for automatic behavior is called _____.
Term
Types of Differential Reinforcement
Definition
- Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)
- Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)
- Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)
Term
Differential Reinforcement
Definition
Reinforcement for one class of behavior and extinction for others, where the problem behavior is placed on extinction.
Term
DRO
Definition
A contingency where reinforcement is contingent on the absence of a behavior for a specified period of time, anything that is not the problem behavior at the end of the interval gets reinforced.
Term
DRO
Definition
A contingency where reinforcement is contingent on the absence of a behavior for a specified period of time, anything that is not the problem behavior at the end of the interval gets reinforced.
Term
omission training
Definition
DRO is also referred to as _____.
Term
DRI
Definition
Reinforcement is contingent on a specified response where that specified response is physically incompatible with the problem behavior (i.e., two responses you cannot engage in simultaneously)
Term
omission training
Definition
DRO is also referred to as _____.
Term
DRI
Definition
Reinforcement is contingent on a specified response where that specified response is physically incompatible with the problem behavior (i.e., two responses you cannot engage in simultaneously)
Term
DRA
Definition
Reinforcement that is contingent on a functionally equivalent response, which means that it has the same function as the problem behavior.
Term
Alternative Reinforcement
Definition
When extinction is not feasible _____ is used to shift preference in one direction when both the problem behavior and an alternative behavior are being reinforced.
