    Study Notes

    ABC Recording

    • Involves direct continuous observation.
    • Records a sequenced account of behavior, antecedents, and consequences in the client's natural environment.

    Anecdotal Observation

    • Similar to ABC recording, involving direct, continuous observation.
    • Captures a temporal description of behaviors along with antecedent and consequent conditions.

    Behavior Checklist

    • Provides hierarchical descriptions of specific skills.
    • Can assess a particular skill area or multiple areas.
    • Typically employs a Likert scale for rating responses.

    Behavioral Assessment

    • Comprehensive evaluation method using observation, interviews, and testing.
    • Aims to identify controlling variables related to the target behavior including resources and reinforcers.

    Behavioral Cusp

    • A behavior with significant consequences, leading to exposure to new environments and reinforcers.
    • Results in major changes beyond the immediate behavior itself.

    Ecological Assessment

    • Acknowledges the interrelationship between environment and behavior.
    • Utilizes multiple settings and persons for comprehensive data collection.

    Function-Based Definition

    • Defines targeted responses based on their environmental effects.
    • Focuses on the functional outcomes rather than the form of behavior.

    Habilitation

    • Adjustment that maximizes short- and long-term reinforcers while minimizing punishers.
    • Aims for an improved behavior repertoire.

    Normalization

    • Philosophy advocating the integration of individuals with disabilities into mainstream society.
    • Promotes interventions that use typical settings and procedures to maintain culturally normal behaviors.

    Pivotal Behavior

    • A specific behavior that, once learned, influences changes in other untrained behaviors.
    • Drives broader behavioral modifications.

    Reactivity

    • Refers to the effect of measurement procedures on observed behavior.
    • More evident when procedures are intrusive or when the individual is aware of the observation.

    Relevance of Behavior Rule

    • Targets behaviors that are likely to receive reinforcement in the person's environment.
    • Ensures the focus is on behaviors that will have practical significance.

    Social Validity

    • Assesses appropriateness of target behaviors and acceptability of interventions.
    • Evaluates significant changes in both target and collateral behaviors.

    Target Behavior

    • The specific response class selected for intervention.
    • Can be defined either by functionality or the shape of the behavior.

    Topography-Based Definition

    • Classifies targeted responses by their physical shape or form.
    • Focuses on how a behavior looks rather than its function.
