Study Notes
- RBT training glossary provides definitions and explanations of key terms and concepts used in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis
ABC
- Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
- Also known as the 3-term contingency
Abolishing Operation
- Decreases reinforcer effectiveness
- Usually associated with satiation
Acquisition
- A target behavior that’s currently being taught
- Not yet a mastered skill
Antecedent Interventions
- Changes made to environmental factors to promote appropriate behavior
- Reduce triggers for maladaptive behavior
Antecedent
- Events that occur before a behavior
Backward Chaining
- Teaching a multi-step skill from the last step to the first
- Prompting all steps before the step being taught
- Reinforcement after teaching the step and at the end of the task
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
- Written once the function of a behavior has been determined
- Includes antecedent strategies, responses to maladaptive behavior, teaching replacement behaviors, and specified interventions (verbal & physical)
Behavior Skills Training (BST)
- Procedure to teach new skills
- Consists of instruction, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and feedback
Behavior
- Anything a person does that can be observed and measured
- Functions: 1. Automatic/sensory, 2. Escape, 3. Attention, 4. Access
Chaining
- Teaching multi-step skills broken down via task analysis
- Steps are linked together
- Forward, backward, or total task analyses can be used
Consequence
- Something that follows a behavior
Continuous Measurement
- Records every single occurrence of a behavior
- Examples: frequency, duration, rate, per opportunity
Continuous Reinforcement
- Target behavior is reinforced after every occurrence
Deprivation
- Not having something often enough
- Increases the effectiveness of that thing when used as a reinforcer
Differential Reinforcement
- Reinforcing one behavior and extinguishing others
DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behaviors)
- Reinforces behavior incompatible with an undesirable behavior
- Example: Reinforcing writing instead of tapping
DRA (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors)
- Reinforces an appropriate alternative behavior
- Example: Reinforcing asking for a break instead of yelling
DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors)
- Reinforces any behavior other than the undesirable behavior
- Example: Reinforcing no crying with a gummy every 5 minutes
Discontinuous Measurement
- Measures some, but not all, instances of behavior
- Typically associated with partial, whole interval recording, and momentary time sampling.
Discrete Trial
- A learning opportunity initiated and controlled by the teacher
- Correct response is reinforced
- Breaking a skill into smaller parts and teaching it
- Allows for many learning opportunities in a short period
- Follows the 3-term contingency
Discrimination Training
- Reinforcing a behavior in the presence of one stimulus
- Extinguishing it in the presence of another
- Learning to respond differently in various environments/conditions
Discriminative Stimulus (SD)
- A cue that signals reinforcement is available for a specific response (demand or instruction)
Dual Relationship
- Multiple roles exist between a therapist and a parent or client
- Also known as multiple relationships
