Term
Latency
Definition
The time between a stimulus event and a response
Term
The difference between positive and negative
Definition
Addition vs removal of stimulus contingent on a behavior to increase likelihood that the behavior will occur
Term
Experimental analysis
Definition
The most effective method (ie produces most accurate findings) to determine the functional cause of a behavior
Term
Experimental control
Definition
Required for the identification of a functional relation
Term
How to establish stimulus control
Definition
Reinforcing a response in the presence of a particular stimulus and not others
Term
Partial interval recording
Definition
An interval is scored if behavior occurs at any point within the interval
Term
How does respondent conditioning occur
Definition
A conditioned stimulus elicits a conditioned response after being paired repeatedly with an unconditioned stimulus
Term
The four criteria for an operational definition
Definition
Clear, concise, complete, and objective
Term
What are the reasons to have an objective, clear, complete, and concise definition of behavior?
Definition
It assists in the consistency of implementation of interventions, it assists in consistency of evaluation of treatments, and it assists in replication of research
Term
When is a behavior more likely to be reinforced?
Definition
In the presence of a discriminative stimulus
Term
Describe how operant behavior is strengthened and weakened
Definition
It it strengthened when it is followed by a reinforcing consequence, weakened when the reinforcing consequence no longer follows the behavior (extinction) [DON’T SAY PUNISHMENT]
Term
The seven dimensions of ABA
Definition
Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, conceptually systematic, effective, and generality
Term
Definition of functional analysis
Definition
The quantitative direct observation of behavior and pre-selected controlled conditions. This analysis is objective and determines causation but is time consuming (only the controlled environment part – the rest is a functional assessment)
Term
The three major components of ABA
Definition
Applied, Behavioral, and Analytic
Term
What is topography of a behavior?
Definition
The form or shape of a behavior – what a behavior looks like
Term
What is a conditioned reinforcer?
Definition
These reinforcers have come to become reinforcers because of their repeated pairings with unconditioned reinforcers
Term
What is the purpose of behavioral assessment?
Definition
To figure out what the problem is and how to change it for the better
Term
What is a response?
Definition
A specific instance of a particular behavior
Term
What is momentary time sampling?
Definition
An interval is only scored if behavior occurs at the time an interval elapses
Term
Four major methods for obtaining behavioral assessments information
Definition
Interviewing the client, interviewing others, testing, and direct observation
Term
Why is it important to have good operational definitions of behavior?
Definition
To ensure that the data is valid and reliable
Term
What is reinforcement?
Definition
A stimulus change following a response that increases the likelihood of the response
Term
What are the three main components of visual analysis?
Definition
Trend, level, variability
Term
SD  R  SR this is what and how does it establish stimulus control?
Definition
3 term contingency, consequences drive the bus!
