ABC continous recording - ANS-an observer records occurences of the targeted problem
behaviors and selected environmental events in the natural routine
... [Show More] during a period of time. may
reveal events that occur in close temporal promisxty to the target behavior.
ABC Narrative Recording - ANS-data are collected only when behaviors of interest are
observed; recording is open ended
Alone condition - ANS-A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which the participant is
alone in a room without access to reinforcing activities.
Analog - ANS-Functional anaysis is soemtimes called ___ because of the arrangement of
variables
Attention Condition - ANS-A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which participant
behavior is reinforced with attention.
Baseline logic - ANS-a term sometimes used to refer to the experimental reasoning inherent in
single subject experimental designs; entails three elements: prediction, verification, and
replication.
behavior cusps - ANS-Pivotal behaviors produce changes in untrained areas, while _____ _____
expose the individual's repertoire to new contingencies.
Behavioral cusps - ANS-Crawling is a good example of a ______, because crawling can expose
the learner to new reinforcers and punishers
Behavioral cusps - ANS-Expose the individual's repertoire to new contingencies, new responses,
and new stimulus controls.
Behaviorsim - ANS-the theory that human and animal behavior can be explained in terms of
conditioning, without appeal to thoughts or feelings, and that psychological disorders are best
treated by altering behavior patterns.
Brief Functional Analysis - ANS-Conducting a functional analysis in a short period of time.
Each condition is run for 5-10 mins.
Each condition, except alone, must include an MO & SD that signal reinforcement is available.
Can we assume problem behaviors are a symptom of autism? - ANS-no probelm behavios can be
seen in any individuals
Can we control behavior - ANS-No, we cannot, but we can manipulate environmental factors
surrounding the behavior an we can control units of behavior: we can control responses, and we
can predict choice.
Checklists - ANS-Indirect FBAs can be structured interviews, ______, rating scales, or
questionnaires.
Conditional Probability - ANS-the likelihood that a target behavior will occur in a given
circumstance. can be misleading
Consequences - ANS-Different behaviors are functionally equivalent if they produce the same
contingency space analysis - ANS-Identify contingent relations from descriptive data.
Probability is specified for two sets of behavior classes: (1) the target problem behavior, and (2)
other behaviors.
contrived - ANS-The thearpist reinforcing waving with a Skittle is an example of an ___
contingency
contrived contingency - ANS-Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) designed and
implemented by a behavior analyst or practitioner to achieve the acquisition, maintenance, and/or
generalization of a targeted behavior change.
correlated - ANS-Descriptive FBAs can identify events that are _____ with the target behavior
and suggest hypo [Show Less]
