| Types of Reinforcement & Punishment | Measurement & Recording | Skill Acquisition | Behavior | Miscellaneous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
What is positive reinforcement?
A stimulus is added to the environment following a behavior, which results in an increase in future occurrences of that behavior.
|
What is frequency?
A type of measurement of behavior that measures each instance of behavior.
|
What is discrete trial training (DTT)?
A structured, trial-based teaching method used to teach skills; implementation consists of an instruction, a prompt, and a consequence.
|
What is access, escape/avoidance, attention, and automatic?
The four functions of behavior.
|
What is confidentiality?
Protection of client records & documents.
|
|
What is negative punishment?
A stimulus is removed/delayed/postponed from the environment following a behavior, which results in a decrease in future occurrences of that behavior.
|
What is duration?
How long a behavior occurs.
|
What is natural environment training (NET)?
A teaching method that teaches skills in the natural setting, using the client's interests and preferences to encourage engagement.
|
What are motivating operations?
Influence the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of a stimulus and the frequency and/or magnitude of behavior.
|
What is a behavioral product?
Physical evidence that a behavior had occurred.
|
|
What is negative reinforcement?
A stimulus is removed/delayed/postponed from the environment following a behavior, which results in an increase in future occurrences of that behavior.
|
What is whole interval recording?
When a behavior is recorded only if it occurs throughout the entire designated interval.
|
What is shaping?
The process of reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior.
|
What is an operational definition?
Describes behavior based on its physical shape or form and/or function.
|
What is a preference assessment?
An assessment that helps determine a learner's preferences to use as potential reinforcers for future sessions.
|
|
What is positive punishment?
A stimulus is added to the environment following a behavior, which results in a decrease in future occurrences of that behavior.
|
What is momentary time sampling?
A recording procedure where a behavior is only recorded if it occurs at the end of a designated interval.
|
What is discrimination training?
This method teaches learners how to differentiate between similar stimuli.
|
What is motor imitation, tacting, intraverbal, listener-responding, echoics, and manding?
The six main verbal operants.
|
What is incidental teaching?
A client-led teaching method that creates engaging learning opportunities by following the client's motivations, preferences, and interests.
|
|
What is DRO, DRA, DRI, DRL, DRH?
The five types of differential reinforcement
|
What is latency?
The time measured in-between an environmental event and the target behavior.
|
What is full physical, partial physical, gestural, and verbal?
The four types of prompts.
|
What is discriminative stimulus?
A stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement for a behavior or response.
|
What is most-to-least prompting?
A prompt procedure that has the technician provide the most intrusive prompt and eventually fade to the least intrusive prompt as the learner develops the skill.
