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.
