Study Notes
Measurement and Data Collection Techniques
- Partial Interval Recording: Observing behavior during specified time intervals to determine if the behavior occurred.
- Frequency Recording: Useful for counting occurrences of specific behaviors, such as key strokes.
- Latency Measurement: Assessing the time it takes for an individual to respond to stimuli, such as a call.
- Outcome Recording: Documenting the completed behavior, for example, writing an essay.
Behavioral Definitions and Observations
- Operational Definitions: Ensure agreement among observers regarding what constitutes the occurrence or non-occurrence of a behavior.
- Topography of Behavior: Refers to the form or appearance of the behavior being observed.
- Antecedents: Events that precede a behavior and may influence its occurrence, such as instructions given to students.
Behavior Intervention Plans
- Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP): A strategic guide for addressing inappropriate behaviors through structured intervention strategies.
- Functional Assessment: Analyzing behavior to determine its purpose, including circumstances leading to maladaptive behavior, like throwing objects.
Ethical Considerations
- Client Benefits: Critical to consider how interventions will benefit individuals receiving support.
- Documentation of Services: Maintain integrity and accountability through accurate records reflecting client needs and progress.
Techniques for Skill Acquisition
- Task Analysis: Breaking complex behaviors into manageable steps for teaching purposes.
- Prompting: Utilizing various types of prompts (e.g., verbal, physical, visual) to aid in skill acquisition and response.
- Discrimination Training: Involves teaching subjects to differentiate between stimuli based on specific responses and conditions.
Behavior Change Strategies
