Stimulus Class
This is defined by 'A group of stimuli that are similar along one or more dimensions'
|
Indirect Assessment
Interviewing a teacher about how their student behaves during reading time is an example of what kind of measure of behaviour?
|
When the removal of an aversive stimulus increases the likelihood of behaviour.
What is 'negative reinforcement'?
|
Conditioned Reinforcers
Stimuli that have become rewarding by being paired with another reinforcing stimulus is referred to as...
|
The practice of ruling out simple, logical explanations, experimentally or conceptually, before considering more complex or abstract explanations.
Define parsimony.
|
Mand, echoic, tact, intraverbal
Name the four main types of verbal operant
|
Latency
Which temporal dimension of behaviour does this definition refer to: the interval between the stimulus and the behaviour it controls
|
The process of reinforcing closer and closer approximations to a terminal behaviour.
Define 'shaping'
|
Negative Punishment
'Response Cost' is a form of...

Generality, Effective, Technological, Applied, Conceptually Systematic, Analytic, Behavioural
What are the 7 dimensions of ABA?
|
A group of responses that produce the same effect on the environment.
Define 'response class'
|
Topography: the physical form or shape of a behaviour
Magnitude: the force or intensity with which a response is emitted
What is the difference between 'topography' and 'magnitude'?
|
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviour
What is DRO?
|
A manipulation of antecedent stimuli in a way to cue a correct response in conjunction with the SD.
Define 'stimulus prompt'
|
procedure clarity - procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others may implement the procedures accurately.
The 'Technological' dimension of ABA refers to...
|
Fixed Ratio (FR), Fixed Interval (FI), Variable Ratio (VR), Variable Interval (VI)
What are the four partial schedules of reinforcement?
|
Trials to Criterion
It takes 3 tries for a student to correctly spell all of the words on the spelling list. This kind of measurement is is an example of...
|
DRL - Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates
A couple decides that they want to decrease their behaviour of getting fast food. They decide that they will treat themselves to a date night at the end of each month if they get fast food fewer than five times during that month.
This is an example of... |
An environmental variable that establishes/abolishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer.
What is a CMO-T?
|
Behaviour change proves durable over time, environments and spreads to a wide variety of related behaviours.
Define 'generality'
|
An EO makes a stimulus more desirable, and an AO makes a stimulus less desirable.
What is the difference between an Establishing Operation and an Abolishing Operation?
|
Bar Graph
Which type of graph might you use to display a set of data that are not related to each other?
|
Equivalence-Based Instruction
What instructional method uses equivalence, transitivity and reflexivity to teach various concepts?
|
CMO-S: A stimulus that acquired its effectiveness as an MO by being paired with another, previously established, MO.
A mother wraps her baby in the same blanket as she rocks it to sleep. The only way the baby's grandmother can put the baby to sleep is to wrap the baby in the same blanket. The blanket is what type of CMO
|
procedures for behaviour change should be underpinned by and explained in terms of the basic principles of behaviour.
'Conceptually systematic' refers to...
