Anecdotal Data
A method of descriptively recording the behavior emitted by the learner, the response of others, and information about the environment.
Antecedent
What occurs before a behavior that then influences behavior; an environment or a stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest
Applied Behavior Analysis
The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for behavior change; The scientific study of principles of learning and behavior
How could you assist in training stakeholders?
Train stakeholders by giving them instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with regard to behavior skills training
Attention Function
A function of behavior in which the individual is reinforced by receiving attention from others.
Automatic Reinforcement
(AKA self-stimming) The behavior itself is reinforcing and is not dependent on social interaction or receiving a tangible item.
Backward Chaining
Training begins the link with the last behavior in the sequence.
Trainer performs all but the last step until the learner masters the last step.
Then trainer performs all but the lasts two steps until learner masters the last two steps and so on.
Baseline Data
Data taken before an intervention takes place.
Describes the existing level of performance.
Chaining
A specific sequence of discrete responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition.
When components are linked together, they form a chain that produces a terminal outcome.
Components of a Written Behavior Plan
1. Identify, describe, create a goal for a behavior in observable terms.
2. Assess antecedent/consequence that may maintain behavior.
3. Identify hypothesis of function of behavior.
4. Identify possible replacement behaviors.
5. Select and implement antecedent/consequence based interventions.
6. Create crisis intervention plan.
7. Implementation, modification, generalization and maintenance procedures. [Show Less]
