Study Notes
Training and Behavior Analysis Concepts
- Multiple Exemplar Training: Involves using various stimuli to facilitate skill generalization across different contexts.
- Phase Change Line: Indicates a shift in conditions represented on a graph; crucial for analyzing behavior changes.
- Solid Vertical Line: Specifically marks a phase change line on a graph, delineating periods of different interventions.
Discrimination Training Techniques
- 3-Step Discrimination Training Procedure: Method includes teaching skills in isolation, incorporating distractors, and mixing in previously mastered items to enhance learning.
Generalization and Functions of Behavior
- Generalization: Can manifest across various settings, stimuli (SDs), and conditions, indicating the broader application of learned skills.
- Functions of Behavior: Includes four main categories: seeking access to tangibles, attention, escape/avoidance, and automatic reinforcement.
Reinforcement Types
- Conditioned Reinforcer: A stimulus that gains reinforcing properties when paired with a primary reinforcer.
- Unconditioned Reinforcer: Naturally reinforcing items, like food or shelter, that require no prior conditioning.
Skill Teaching Methods
- Forward Chaining: Instructs learners starting from the first step of a task, building competence step-by-step.
- Backward Chaining: Involves teaching from the last step of a task back to the first, allowing for immediate reinforcement.
Measurement of Behavior
- Duration: Measures how long a specific behavior lasts during a given period.
- Frequency/Rate: Counts the number of occurrences of a behavior within a specific timeframe.
- Latency: The time that elapses between an instruction and the learner's subsequent response.
Stimulus Control and Behavior Procedures
- Stimulus Control: Behavior's frequency or duration is affected by the presence or absence of antecedent stimuli.
- DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternatives): Reinforces an alternative behavior while discontinuing the challenging behavior.
- DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible): Similar to DRA, but the alternative behavior is incompatible with the undesired behavior.
- DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other): Involves providing reinforcement when the undesirable behavior is absent during designated times.
Behavioral Techniques and Outcomes
- Extinction: A method that stops reinforcers for a previously reinforced behavior, leading to a decrease in that behavior.
- Extinction Burst: A temporary resurgence in the frequency of a behavior when extinction is first applied.
- Abolishing Operation: Reduces the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer, making it less desirable.
- Establishing Operation: Increases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer, enhancing its desirability.
Behavioral Analysis Tools
- Task Analysis: Involves breaking down complex skills into smaller, manageable components for effective teaching.
- Automatic Reinforcement: Refers to reinforcement that occurs independently of social interaction.
- Partial Interval Recording: Observers note whether a behavior occurred at any point during a defined interval.
- Whole Interval Recording: Observers check if a behavior occurs for the entire duration of the interval.
- Momentary Time Sampling: Data is recorded only at the end of intervals, assessing behavior occurrence at that moment.
- Interresponse Time: Timed measurement of gaps between consecutive instances of a specific response.
Measurement Methods
- Trials to Criterion: Evaluates the number of attempts needed to reach a defined performance goal.
- Topography: Describes the physical characteristics or shape of a behavior, providing insight into its execution.
- Magnitude: Refers to the intensity or forcefulness of a behavior when it is exhibited.
- Time Sampling: Encompasses various recording techniques, including whole and partial interval recording.
- Continuous Measurement: Captures all instances of a behavior through direct observation of frequency and duration.
- Discontinuous Measurement: Focuses on selective instances of behavior using predefined observational methods.
