Applying the ABCs | Data Collection | Data Collection x2 | Data Collection x3 | Discrete Trial Training |
---|---|---|---|---|
differential reinforcement
when only specific responses are reinforced according to specific criteria
|
Frequency, latency
-count of behavior per observation time
-measures of elapsed time from SD to response |
Data path
the level and trend of behavior between data points, created by drawing a straight line between data points
|
Duration
What is the total amount of time a behavior occurs?
|
maintenance
extent to which a learner continues to demonstrate a behavior after instruction ends
|
motivating operations
environmental condition that temporarily changes the value of a reinforcer
|
operational definition
description of a behavior using observable, measurable, and specific terms
|
graph
What is a visual format for representing data?
|
ABC Data
recording of the antecedent, behavior, and consequence observed
|
discrete trial
systematic method of instruction that creates stimulus control over a response
|
Abolishing Operation
decreases the value of a particular stimulus
|
Product
a tangible record of a behavior
|
intensity
What is the magnitude or force of a behavior
|
inter-response time
elapsed time between 2 responses
|
generalization
ability of learner to demonstrate a behavior under different conditions then those they first learned
|
Establishing operation
increases the value of a particular stimulus
|
interval
period of time for observing behavior
|
rate
What is the count of a behavior per observation time?
|
indirect data collection
data collected through interviews, surveys, or other means when the behavior is not occurring
|
embedded trials, inter-trial interval, mass trials
-nonconsequative and infrequent opportunities to practice a specific response
-the length of time between trials -frequent and consequence opportunities to practice a specific response |
Discriminative stimulus
the stimulus that cues a learner to know that a specific behavior will be reinforced
|
whole interval, partial interval, momentary time sampling
time sampling method for measuring behavior, recording if target behaviors occur during the entire interval, at any given moment in the interval and if target behaviors occur at precisely specified times
|
data
What is the measurement of a quantifiable dimension of behavior?
|
direct data collection
data collected through observation of a learner engaging in behavior
|
match-to-sample
trial that requires the learner to match the antecedent stimulus
