Study Notes
Functional Behavior Assessment
- Systematic strategies to identify the function or purpose of behavior.
Natural Environment Training (NET)
- A type of ABA focusing on incidental learning in natural settings.
- Child-directed with natural reinforcers.
Tact
- Naming objects or items present in the environment directly interacted with by the client.
Positive Punishment
- Involves adding an adverse stimulus post-behavior to decrease occurrence chances.
- Example: Assigning chores or increasing demands after undesired behavior.
Negative Punishment
- Involves removing a desired item to reduce targeted behavior.
- Example: Taking away a toy or phone.
Verbal Behavior
- Comprises both vocal and non-vocal responses, reinforced by listeners.
Verbal Operants
- Categories include Mand, Tact, Echoic, and Intraverbal.
- Utilizes Feature, Function, Class (FFC) for understanding objects.
Mand
- A request directed to gain help or acquire items, activities, or attention.
Positive Reinforcement
- Providing a desired stimulus after a behavior to increase the frequency of that behavior.
Echoic
- Repeating what has been heard from others.
Intraverbal
- Responses based on prior comments or questions; includes answering and commenting.
Feature, Function, Class (FFC)
- Framework to describe objects based on their attributes, utility, and classification.
Imitation/Duplic
- Child replicates actions observed from others.
Receptive / LR- Listener Response
- Ability to respond to verbal stimuli by listening and acting accordingly.
Punishment
- A stimulus following behavior that decreases the likelihood of recurrence.
Time Sampling
- Observation technique divided into short intervals for behavior tracking.
Continuous Reinforcement
- Reinforcement provided every single time a desired behavior occurs.
Negative Reinforcement
- Removal of an undesired stimulus to increase behavior occurrence.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
- Structured teaching method directed by the teacher, involving organized reinforcement strategies.
Motivating Operations (MO)
- Environmental events altering the effectiveness of reinforcers, affecting behavior frequency.
Satiation
- Overexposure to a reinforcer reduces its effectiveness and decreases behavior frequency.
3 & 4 Term Contingency
- 3 Term: Antecedent (SD) → Behavior → Consequence.
- 4 Term: MO → SD → Behavior → Consequence.
Discriminative Stimuli (SD)
- Signals the availability of reinforcement based on the occurrence of a response.
Fading in Demands
- Gradual increase in demands placed before reinforcement is delivered.
Fixed Ratio Schedules (FR)
- Reinforcement occurs after a set number of responses.
Variable Ratio Schedules (VR)
- Reinforcement varies, averaging after a set number of responses.
Fixed Interval (FI)
- Reinforcement is provided after a specific amount of time.
Variable Interval (VI)
- Reinforcement is given after varying lengths of time.
Types of Time Sampling
- Partial Interval Recording, Whole Interval Recording, Momentary Time Sampling.
Partial Interval Recording
- Behavior recorded if it occurs at any point within an interval.
Whole Interval Recording
- Behavior recorded only if it occurs throughout the whole interval.
Momentary Time Sampling
- Behavior noted only at a specific moment.
Functional Behavior Assessments
- Anecdotal (indirect gathering information) and Descriptive (observational, direct assessments).
Types of Motivating Operations (MO)
- Abolishing Operations (AO) decrease effectiveness.
- Establishing Operations (EO) increase effectiveness.
Similarities between MO's & SD's
- Both evoke behavior, act as antecedents, and can coexist.
Graphing Behavior Data
- Line graphs used: Y-axis for quantitative measurement, X-axis for time.
Reinforcement
- Follows desirable behavior, increasing the likelihood of its repetition.
Functions of Behavior
- Categorized as Escape, Attention, Tangibles, and Sensory, remembered by EATS.
Escape
- Behavior aimed at avoiding demands or tasks.
Attention
- Behavior to elicit focus or acknowledgment from others.
Tangibles
- Requests for items or activities that have been removed.
Sensory
- Engagement in behavior that provides pleasurable experiences.
Principles of Reinforcement
- Include Deprivation, Immediacy, Size, and Contingency.
Deprivation
- Lack of access to a reinforcer for some time increases its value.
Immediacy
- Time interval between behavior and reinforcement delivery influences effectiveness.
Size
- Magnitude of reinforcer affects its reinforcing power.
Contingency
- Reinforcers effective when delivered exclusively for desired behavior.
Operant Behavior
- Behavior modified by manipulating observable stimuli and contextual events.
Primary Reinforcers
- Unconditioned, such as food and water, not taught.
Secondary Reinforcers
- Conditioned and learned through experiences, such as social recognition or money.
Shaping
- Gradual reinforcement of approximations towards a desired behavior.
Antecedent
- Conditions existing before the target behavior occurs.
Extinction
- Discontinuation of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, leading to its decrease.
Extinction Burst
- Initial increase in frequency of behavior before it diminishes.
Differential Reinforcement Types
- Includes Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI), Alternative Behavior (DRA), and Other Behavior (DRO).
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)
- Reduces undesired behavior by reinforcing incompatible alternatives.
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)
- Encourages desired behavior by rewarding appropriate alternatives.
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)
- Reduces undesired behavior by reinforcing intervals of non-occurrence.
Types of Preference Assessments
- Include Reinforcement Assessment, Single Stimulus, Multiple Stimuli (with and without replacement), and Paired Choice Assessments.
Reinforcement Assessment
- Identifying what items or activities are reinforcing for students.
Single Stimulus Preference Assessment
- Offering one item at a time and measuring engagement duration.
Multiple Stimuli Preference Assessments
- Arranging several items to see preferences based on choices made, with and without replacing items.
Paired Choice Preference Assessment
- Presenting two items and observing which one is chosen.
