Study Notes

Behavior Analytic Intervention Dimensions

Seven key dimensions: Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, Conceptual, Effective, Generality.

Family Collaboration Guidelines

Non-judgmental practice is essential.
Acknowledge families may experience stress.
Focus on prioritizing efforts and goals.
Demonstrate optimism as a model for families.

Behavioral Skills Training (BST)

A method used to teach skills through specific behavioral strategies.

Disability Models

Medical Model: Disabilities viewed as medical conditions.
Social Model: Emphasizes societal barriers and environments affecting disabilities; advocates for inclusive design.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Lower levels (physiological, safety, love/belonging) must be satisfied to achieve higher levels (esteem, self-actualization).

Quality of Life (QOL)

Every individual is entitled to a quality life encompassing higher levels of Maslow's needs.

Core Domains of Quality of Life

Eight domains include Personal Growth, Rights, Self-Determination, Relationships, Social Inclusion, Emotional Well-being, Physical Well-being, and Material Well-being.

Supports

Essential for bridging the gap between individual needs and their environment: includes Natural, Material, Technological, Teaching, Adaptations, and Professional Services.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Legally mandates standards for accessibility in employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications, and government activities.

Person-Centered Planning

Collaborative approach recognizing the individual as a vital part of the planning team, emphasizing what's important to them.

Behavioral Challenges in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Characterized by social/emotional deficits, non-verbal communication issues, repetitive movements, rigidity, and sensory sensitivities.

Reasons for Behavioral Responses

Factors include neurological differences, learning history, and reinforcing experiences.

Echolalia

The repetition of words or phrases, which can have functional significance in communication.

Documentation Types

Includes frequency, duration, interval recording, and A-B-C (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence) analysis.

Functional Assessment Components

Utilizes archival data, informant data, observational data, and functional analysis for comprehensive insights into behavior.

Behavior Measurement Terms

Rate: Frequency of behavior.
Duration: Length of time a behavior lasts.
Topography: Description of what the behavior looks like.
Locus: Location where behavior occurs.

Data Recording Methods

Continuous: Records all instances of behavior during a timeframe.
Discontinuous: Records only some instances, useful for frequently occurring behaviors.

Prompting Techniques

Includes various types such as physical, modeling, partial physical, time delay, and verbal prompts to elicit desired behaviors.

Reinforcement Concepts

Primary Reinforcers: Innately satisfying (e.g., food).
Secondary Reinforcers: Learned through association (e.g., tokens).

Schedules of Reinforcement

Continuous: Reinforcement after every instance of behavior.
Intermittent: Reinforcement not delivered every time.
Fixed and Variable schedules can be applied to Ratio or Interval types.

Shaping and Thinning Reinforcement

Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations towards a target behavior.
Thinning refers to gradually decreasing reinforcement frequency, which, if done too rapidly, can lead to Ratio Strain.

Stimulus Control and Prompts

Stimulus Control: Behavior varies based on presence or absence of a stimulus.
Prompt-Fading helps transition from reliant prompts to independent behavior.
Types of prompts assist in skill acquisition by providing guidance without dependencies.

Stimulus Equivalence

Involves three properties: Reflexivity, Symmetry, and Transitivity to demonstrate learned relationships between stimuli.

Overall Behavioral Analysis

Functional assessments help uncover motives behind behaviors, allowing for tailored interventions focused on teaching replacement behaviors linked to identified functions.
