Study Notes
Behavior Intervention Strategies
- Types include antecedent interventions, replacement behaviors, and consequence interventions.
Antecedent Interventions for Specific Behaviors
- For Cameron's tantrums aimed at escaping tasks: Stimulus demand fading is recommended.
- For Joseph's shouting for attention: Non-contingent attention serves as an effective intervention.
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
- Guides parents, teachers, and professionals in decreasing inappropriate behaviors and teaching replacement behaviors.
- Also referred to as a behavior support plan or behavior reduction plan.
Functions of Behavior
- Behaviors serve specific purposes: to gain attention, obtain tangible items, avoid tasks, or provide self-stimulation.
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
- Involves defining behavior, selecting target behaviors, analyzing functions, and developing a hypothesis regarding behavior.
Components of a BIP (BACE)
- B: Specify targeted behaviors.
- A: Clearly identify antecedents.
- C: Define consequences when behaviors occur.
- E: Set environmental arrangements to minimize challenging behaviors.
Antecedent Interventions Defined
- Focus on structuring and modifying the environment before behaviors occur to reduce likelihood of those behaviors.
- Emphasizes a proactive approach to behavior management.
Key Concept of Discriminative Stimuli (SD)
- Signals within the environment that indicate when a behavior may lead to reinforcement.
Understanding Stimulus Control
- Refers to when a behavior is more frequently exhibited in the presence of a discriminative stimulus.
Setting Events
- Environmental stimuli that influence the probability of behavior but do not occur immediately prior to it.
Enhanced Predictability Measures
- Tools such as visual schedules and means to an end visuals provide clarity in students' activities and transitions.
Visual Schedules
- Comprise pictures to outline activities, fostering a sense of control and predictability in students.
Means to an End Visual
- Utilizes timers and token boards to display when a student will finish or transition to another activity.
Functional Communication Training (FCT)
- An antecedent intervention teaching appropriate communication as a replacement for problematic behavior, often involving differential reinforcement.
Social Stories and Desensitization
- These tools explain potentially confusing situations to help students understand and cope.
Systematic Desensitization
- Gradual approach to achieving target behaviors, combined with anxiety reduction and positive reinforcement techniques.
Stimulus Demand Fading
- Involves slowly increasing the demands placed on a learner across multiple sessions.
Non-Contingent Reinforcement
- Provides reinforcement without specific demands, facilitating the association of the reinforcer with positive events.
Variable Ratio Schedule of Reinforcement
- Reinforcement occurs after an average number of correct responses, creating variability to maintain engagement.
Errorless Teaching
- Instruction method that uses proactive prompting to ensure correct responses, systematically fading prompts as proficiency increases.
Pace of Instruction
- Adjusting the speed of instructions can mitigate avoidance or escape behaviors by maintaining engagement.
