    Study Notes

    Continuous Measurement

    • Continuous Measurement records every occurrence of a behavior, providing detailed insight.
    • Frequency measures how often the behavior occurs during a specified timeframe.
    • Duration quantifies the total time a behavior is performed within the observation.
    • Latency is the time taken from the onset of a stimulus to the response by the subject.
    • Inter-Response Time (IRT) measures the time interval between two consecutive responses.

    Discontinuous Measurement

    • Discontinuous Measurement captures a sample of behavior rather than every instance.
    • Partial Interval Recording checks if the behavior occurred at any point during the interval.
    • Whole Interval Recording identifies if the behavior spans the entire duration of the interval.
    • Momentary Time Sampling assesses whether the behavior is happening exactly at a specific moment.

    Data and Graphs

    • Collect discrete trial data using a Discrete Trial Data Sheet during observational sessions.
    • Data is then recorded on a Summary Graph and a Data Per Month datasheet for analysis.

    Preference Assessments

    • Preference assessments systematically identify stimuli that may serve as effective reinforcers for clients.
    • They help determine what items or activities the client is most inclined to work for.

    ABC Data

    • ABC Data consists of recording Antecedents, Behaviors, and Consequences.
    • It serves as a tool to analyze and understand behavioral patterns.

    Discrete-Trial Teaching

    • Discrete-Trial Teaching (DTT) involves a structured learning framework.
    • The instructor gives a concise instruction, the learner responds, and feedback is provided based on the response.
    • This method promotes skill acquisition through clear and concise interactions.

    Naturalistic Teaching

    • Naturalistic Teaching (Incidental Teaching) employs everyday situations for teaching opportunities.
    • The instructor prepares the environment to promote targeted learning goals during routine activities.
    • Learners initiate interactions, which are then followed by prompts to encourage elaborated responses before reinforcement.

    Chaining

    • Chaining breaks down skills into step-by-step components, each mastered before linking them to form a complete skill.
    • This method supports cumulative learning and skill development.

    Shaping

    • Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations towards the goal behavior systematically.
    • It focuses on enhancing the learner's behavior gradually until the desired outcome is achieved.

    Discrimination Training

    • Discrimination Training reinforces a target response only when specific antecedent stimuli (SD) are present.
    • This technique helps learners distinguish between multiple stimuli, enhancing their ability to respond appropriately.

    Stimulus Control Transfer

    • Stimulus Control Transfer breaks down activities into manageable steps, facilitating learning through task analysis.
    • It supports the mastery of daily living skills like tooth brushing or hand washing.

    Prompting

    • Prompts aim to increase the likelihood of a desired response from the learner.
    • Prompt fading gradually reduces assistance, promoting independence in the learner's responses.

    Token System

    • A Token Economy System reinforces specific behaviors by awarding tokens for desired actions.
    • Tokens function as symbolic rewards, motivating individuals to engage in target behaviors.

    Crisis/Emergency Procedures

    • Specific strategies are in place for managing various crises like hair pulling, biting, and throwing objects.
    • The focus is on maintaining safety and managing behavior through prevention and intervention protocols.
    • Restraints are a last resort and must be reported to the supervisor and HR after use.

    Antecedent Intervention

    • Antecedent Interventions modify environmental factors to influence behavior proactively.
    • The aim is to promote desired behaviors while reducing the occurrence of undesired behaviors.

    Differential Reinforcement

    • Differential Reinforcement reinforces the appropriate behavior while applying extinction to unwanted responses.
    • DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior) encourages an alternative behavior.
    • DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior) rewards the absence of the target behavior, contributing to its reduction.
