Study Notes

Problem Behavior

Defined as behavior occurring too frequently, too intensely, or in the wrong context.
Culturally determined, meaning interpretations of problem behaviors can vary by culture.

Nature vs. Nurture

Nature-nurture debate remains unresolved; both biology and environment play roles in behavior development.
Modern research indicates biology influences behavior, as well as environmental factors affecting genetic development.

Critical Periods and Development

Critical periods are developmental stages crucial for acquiring specific skills, emphasizing the importance of early intervention for language development.

Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

FBA is a systematic process for identifying environmental triggers of problem behaviors and understanding their purpose.
Assessments include identifying reinforcers maintaining the behavior and evaluating ecological requirements for functioning.

Behavioral Assessment

Topography refers to the form of behavior but is not the sole focus in problem behavior assessment.
Intensity description is part of the topographical assessment when evaluating behaviors.
Ecological assessment aims to determine necessary skills for successful functioning in different environments.

Intervention Strategies

ABA interventions include antecedent interventions, consequence management, and skill building.
Programs should align with the medical model of care, tailoring treatments based on diagnosis.

Parenting and Discipline

Research does not conclusively support that authoritarian parenting is detrimental to children.
Problem behavior in schools and workplaces is often managed through progressive discipline procedures.

Behavior Monitoring Techniques

Whole Interval Recording is a method where observers mark behavior occurrences throughout an interval.
When teaching skills such as tooth brushing, most-to-least prompting is commonly utilized.

Goal Setting

Effective behavior goals are specific, measurable, and time-bound, e.g., greeting coworkers consistently.

Scientific Method

The first step involves observation, laying the groundwork for further research and inquiry.

Graphing Behaviors

Color should not be used in graphs to maintain clarity and standardization.
