Study Notes
Quiz 1 - Course Intro
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a branch of psychology.
- Students meeting the academic requirements for BCBA, BCaBA, BIs, BTS, Instructors, or Registered Behavior Technicians, are those completing a Bachelor's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis.
- SAFMEDS stands for Say-All-Fast-Minute-Every-Day-Shuffle.
Quiz 2 - Overview of ABA
- Summary labels (e.g., personality, self-esteem) are explanatory fictions, summarizing behavioral patterns without explaining them.
- Summary labels can be efficient ways to talk about behaviors, but most people quickly understand them.
- Summary labels can carry negative connotations.
- Latency is often the most subjectively measured behavior dimension. (unless specialized equipment is available)
- This course will primarily focus on Pavlovian conditioning of behavior.
Quiz 3 - Behavioural Assessment
- Most behavioral assessment data is analyzed using statistical software packages like SPSS, MATLAB, R, or SAS.
- Indirect assessments are cheaper, convenient, and allow you to see the target behavior.
- Interviewing and modeling the problem behaviors is an example of indirect assessment.
Quiz 4 - Reinforcement
- Money is a generalized conditioned reinforcer.
Quiz 5 - Operant Extinction
- Extinction can be applied to any behavior, including newly learned behaviors.
- Ignoring a behavior is a form of extinction.
Quiz 6 - Shaping and Chaining
- Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior.
- Shaping is reinforcing behavior that moves closer to a desired response, gradually improving the behavior.
- An example of shaping is a child learning to say "water".
Quiz 7 - Schedules of Reinforcement
- Continuous reinforcement means reinforcing every instance of a target response.
- Intermittent reinforcement means reinforcing some, but not all, instances of a response.
- Continuous reinforcement (CR) is functionally the same as FR1.
Quiz 8 - Stimulus Control
- Stimulus control refers to how environmental stimuli affect the likelihood of a specific behavior occurring.
- A stimulus control is about rules, cues in the environment, and how one understands what they are supposed to do.
Quiz 9 - Antecedent Control
- Shaping (changing behavior) and fading (changing antecedent cues) are related.
- Shaping and fading are both types of antecedent control.
Quiz 10 - Differential Reinforcement
- Differential reinforcement is reinforcing desirable behaviors while extinguishing undesirable ones.
- Differential reinforcement helps people increase desired behaviors.
Quiz 11 - Punishment, Escape, and Avoidance
- Punishment is an event that reduces future occurrences of a behavior.
- Response cost refers to removing a desirable item or reward after a behavior happens.
- Escape behavior occurs when an individual removes an aversive stimulus after performing a behavior.
- Avoidance behavior prevents the aversive stimulus from taking place.
Quiz 12 - Generalization
- Stimulus generalization: When a behavior occurs in the presence of a new stimulus that is similar to the original one, due to reinforcement.
- Response generalization: When a behavior occurs in a new way, due to reinforcement.
- Generalization can be good or bad depending on the context or training goal.
