Term
|
Definition
| A way of determining the Antecedent, and Reinforcer for a problem behaviour in order to eliminate it. |
|
|
Term
| Social Positive Reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Reinforcer that is added by way of another person's interaction with the actor after the behaviour. e.x. Asking for a glass of milk is reinforced when one receives the glass of milk from the person asked |
|
|
Term
| Social negative reinforcement |
|
Definition
| When an aversive stimulus is avoided, or escaped from by way of a second person after the actor performs some behaviour and that behaviour is then more likely to be performed in the future. e.x. when a child cries when presented with work and the work is then taken away. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Information retrieved from a functional assesment that may function as establishing operations on reinforcers/punishers towards the actor |
|
|
Term
| Indirect Functional Assesment |
|
Definition
| Collecting data on problem behaviours by way of asking those close to the actor. ex the parents of a problem child |
|
|
Term
| Direct Functional Assesment |
|
Definition
| Collecting data through observation of the actor and the ABC, three term contingency of the problem behaviour |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Performing an experiment by adding/removing different reinforcers for the problem behaviour in order to determine what reinforcer is causing the increased likelihood of a behaviour |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Both Indirect and Direct assessments are classified as such |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of an Alternate Behaviour |
|
Definition
| When in lieu of the problem behaviour, a specific second behaviour is reinforced while the problem behaviour is not being reinforced |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of an incompatible behaviour (DRI) |
|
Definition
| When a behaviour is reinforced that cannot be performed simultaneously with the problem behaviour |
|
|
Term
| Differential Negative Reinforcement of alternate behaviours (DNRA) |
|
Definition
| When, the a behaviour that is not the problem behaviour is reinforced by the removal of an aversive stimulus |
|
|
Term
| Differential reinforcement of communication (DRC) |
|
Definition
| When a form of communication is shown to give the same reinforcement as the problem behaviour, for example if the problem behaviour is rewarded by escape from a task, the actor is taught to ask for a break instead of throwing a fit |
|
|
Term
| Functional Communication Training |
|
Definition
| The form of teaching that teaches differential reinforcement of communication |
|
|
Term
| Differential reinforcement of other behaviour |
|
Definition
| When a reinforcer is presented after an interval of time in which the problem behaviour is absent. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When the problem behaviour must be absent for the entire interval in order to receive the reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The problem behaviour must be absent for the entire interal in order to recieve the reinforcer |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of low rates of responding (DRL) |
|
Definition
| When a reinforcer is presented only if there are low rates of problem behaviour during an interval |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When a reinforcer is withheld if during an entire session in which the problem behaviour would occur (ex. a school day) the occurence of said behaviour exceeds a certain level |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behaviour is only reinforced once during a given period of time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When the behaviour is reinforced only if a specified amount of time has lapsed since the last instance of the behaviour |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Repetitive behaviour that serves no social function |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The interval of time that must occur between exhibitions of the problem behaviour in order to receive a reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the occurrence of the behaviour in the presence of stimuli that are similar in some way to the discriminative stimulus |
|
|
Term
| Natural contingencies of reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Teaching skills that are likely to cause reinforcement in many settings (joke telling, smiling, etc.) in order to provide reinforcement in real life |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a range of different situations that can be presented in training in order to promote generalization |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Training an individual with a wide variety of stimulus exemplars |
|
|
Term
| Functionally equivalent response |
|
Definition
| A behaviour that elicits the same outcome for the person. |
|
|
Term
| Self-generated mediator of generalization |
|
Definition
| Some cue that has stimulus control over a behaviour that one provides for oneself in different situations to promote generalization. ex. looking at a list of instructions on how to rock climb when presented with a cliff face when trained on a rock wall. |
