Term
Behavior
Definition
What ppl do and say
actions, with action verbs
is observable
not static
impacts the environment
Lawful
Term
Dimensions of behavior
Definition
Frequency
Duration
Intensity
Latency
Term
BM
Definition
field of psych concerned with analyzing and modifying human behavior
focus on behavior, not personal characteristics
Term
Target behavior
Definition
behavior to be modified
Term
Experimental Analysis of behavior
Definition
scientific study of behavior
Term
Applied behavior analysis
Definition
scientific study of behavior to help ppl change behavior in meaningful ways
Term
BM treatment implemented by
Definition
everyday ppl, teachers, parents, etc.
Term
Pavol
Definition
respondent conditioning
Term
thorndike
Definition
law of effect
a behavior that produces a favorable effect on the environment is more likely to be repeated in the future
His experiment, cat in cage w/ food outside
Term
Watson
Definition
started behaviorism, emphasized observable behavior and that all behavior is controlled by environmental events
stimulus elicits response
Term
skinner
Definition
expanded behaviorism
differentiated bw respondent and operant
Term
operant conditioning
Definition
consequence of behavior controls the future occurence of the behavior (LoE)
Term
Behavioral assessment
Definition
measurement of target behavior in BM
is treatment necessary?
what is the best treatment?
What is the change before and after?
Term
Types of BA
Definition
Indirect - interviews, surveys and rating scales
direct - direct observation of TB
Term
steps in BM program
Definition
Defining target behavior
determining logistics of recording
choosing recording method
choosing a recording instrument
Term
behavioral definition
Definition
description of TB
Term
natural vs analogue setting
Definition
analogue is a non-normal setting
Term
continuous recording
Definition
record throughout obs period each instance of behavior
Term
rate
Definition
frequency over obs. period time
Term
real-time recording
Definition
record exact time of each onset and offset of TB
shows frequency, duration and exact time of occurence
Term
product recording
Definition
indirect assessment method used when a behavior results in a certain tangible outcome
toys at toy manufacturer
Term
baseline
Definition
no-treatment phase, usually A
Term
interval recording
Definition
whether behaviors occurred during consecutive time periods
Term
time sample recording
Definition
divide obs. period into intervals but observe and record behavior only during part of each interval
Term
reactivity
Definition
process of recording behavior causes behavior to change before any treatment is implemented
can be minimized when part. becomes accustomed to observer presence, or by not letting part. know they are being observed
Term
components of a graph
Definition
x and y axis
labels of x and y axis
numbers on x and y axis
Term
abscissa
Definition
x axis, time
Term
ordinate
Definition
y axis, level of behavior
Term
phase line
Definition
vertical line on graph indicating change in treatment
Term
in interval recording, y axis is always the
Definition
Percentage of Intervals of (Behavior)
Term
functional relationship
Definition
when a researcher shows that a BM procedure (IV change) causes a TB to change, there is a functional relationship between the procedure and the TB
Term
A-B design
Definition
a = baseline
b = treatment
does not control for extraneous vars
Term
A-B-A-B reversal
Definition
after 1st treatment phase, researcher removes treatment and reverses back to baseline, then replicates
Term
Multiple baseline design
Definition
across subjects - A B for 2+ subjects on same behavior
across behaviors - A B for 2+ behaviors on same subject
across settings - A B for 2+ settings in which same behavior of same subject is measured
Term
Alternating Treatment Design
Definition
Multielement design
A B are conducted in rapid succession (A on day 1, B on day 2, etc.) and compared with each other
helps eliminate extraneous vars
Term
Changing-criterion design
Definition
A and B, but during each phase their is a goal
effectiveness is measured as whether the subjects behavior changed to meet the changing performance criteria
