    Study Notes

    Data Collection Methods

    • Partial Interval Recording: Behavior recorded as occurring if noted at any point during the interval, regardless of duration.
    • Whole Interval Recording: Behavior marked if fully occurs throughout the entire interval.
    • Momentary Time Sampling: Behavior recorded if occurring at a specific moment within the interval, often at the interval's start.
    • Planned Activity Check (PLA-CHECK): Applies momentary time sampling to groups, recording individuals engaged in target behaviors.

    Behavioral Concepts

    • Learning sign language does not hinder speech development.
    • Support needs for individuals with developmental disabilities may include supervision.
    • Reinforcement differs from mere rewards; they serve a specific function in behavior modification.

    Behavior Measurement Techniques

    • Forward Chaining: Best method for individuals with short attention spans who struggle with multiple tasks.
    • Duration: Effective for measuring problematic behaviors such as ranting, defined as high-volume, rapid, inappropriate speech.
    • Graphic Prompt: A visual schedule serves as a form of prompting, aiding understanding and routines.

    Data Collection Accuracy

    • PLA-CHECK may lead to underestimates of behavior.
    • Whole interval recording underestimates behavior occurrences, while partial interval recording leads to overestimation.
    • Momentary Time Sampling provides the most conservative estimate of behavior.

    Communication and Social Interaction

    • Intraverbal: A child's spontaneous response (e.g., "The aquarium!") signifies engagement in conversational exchange.
    • First-Then Schedule: A visual communication tool illustrating a contingency between tasks or behaviors.

    Reinforcement and Behavior Management

    • Social reinforcement typically follows correct responses during motor imitation trials.
    • Training children to self-monitor enhances life skills instruction.
    • Variable interval schedules for reinforcement improve employee attendance and work motivation.

    Behavioral Insights

    • Senior citizens with developmental disabilities face risks of inappropriate psychotropic medication prescriptions.
    • Frequency and rate measurements can be debated in terms of their meanings and implications in behavioral analysis.

    Prompt Fading

    • Plans for prompt fading should account for criteria to progress and also incorporate a reversal strategy when necessary.
