Environmental events - CORRECT ANSWER A function based defintion is based on the functional relations between responses and the __________ __________. Look likes - CORRECT ANSWER What a behavior ______ _____ is a topography- based definition Functionally equivalent - CORRECT ANSWER Servers the same purpose or produces the same consqeuences Play condition - CORRECT ANSWER A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which a participant is in a room with free access to reinforcing activities (also known as the "control" condition). Independent - CORRECT ANSWER The variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher correlated - CORRECT ANSWER Descriptive FBAs can identify events that are _____ with the target behavior and suggest hypotheses behavior cusps - CORRECT ANSWER Pivotal behaviors produce changes in untrained areas, while _____ _____ expose the individual's repertoire to new contingencies. Function - CORRECT ANSWER Functionally equivalent means an intervention should serve the same ____ as the problem behavior Alone condition - CORRECT ANSWER A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which the participant is alone in a room without access to reinforcing activities. reinforcers - CORRECT ANSWER Behaviroal cusps expose the indivuals repertoire to new environments, especially new _____ and punishers.
Reactivity - CORRECT ANSWER The influence of assessment procedures on the clinets behavior pattern Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER measured to determine if it changes as result of manipulations of the I.V. pivotal behavior - CORRECT ANSWER Imitative behavior is a good example of a ______ _____ because it can produce changes in other untrained responses. contrived - CORRECT ANSWER The thearpist reinforcing waving with a Skittle is an example of an ___ contingency Modifications - CORRECT ANSWER A pivotal behavior produces corresponding ___ or covariations in other ada[tive untrained behaviors Naturally - CORRECT ANSWER A contrived contingency does not occur ____. Behavioral cusps - CORRECT ANSWER Crawling is a good example of a ______, because crawling can expose the learner to new reinforcers and punishers Escape - CORRECT ANSWER Functional analysis has three test conditions: contingent attention, contigent _______, and alone. Widespread - CORRECT ANSWER Pivotal behaviors appear to result in _______ positive changes in a number of areas Environmental events - CORRECT ANSWER An FBA obtains info. about relations among specific types of ___ ____ and behaviors Descriptive - CORRECT ANSWER There are three methods of FBA, indirect ____, and functional analysis Checklists - CORRECT ANSWER Indirect FBAs can be structured interviews, ______, rating scales, or questionnaires. Intervention - CORRECT ANSWER The independent variable is also callled the ___ or thr treatment variable
Behavioral cusps - CORRECT ANSWER Expose the individual's repertoire to new contingencies, new responses, and new stimulus controls. High - CORRECT ANSWER In a descriptive assessment, events that have a ____ degree of correlation with the target behavior suggest a functional hypothesis. Functional analysis - CORRECT ANSWER The thearpist is assessing the fucntion of behavior by systematically presenting antecedent and consquent conditions. Descriptive FBA - CORRECT ANSWER The therapist is assessing the function of behavior by observing and recording in the natural environment. contrived contingency - CORRECT ANSWER Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) designed and implemented by a behavior analyst or practitioner to achieve the acquisition, maintenance, and/or generalization of a targeted behavior change. Indirect FBA - CORRECT ANSWER An assessment that obtains information from persons who are familiar with the organism emitting the target behavior. independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER When measuring the effects of mand training on spontaneous mands, mand training is the ____ _____. Attention Condition - CORRECT ANSWER A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which participant behavior is reinforced with attention. Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER When measuring the effects of mand training on spontaneous mands, spontaneous mands are the ____ ____. Indirect FBA - CORRECT ANSWER The therapist conducts an FBA where they interview the client's parents about the behavior. Descriptive FBA - CORRECT ANSWER An assessment that includes direct observation in naturally occurring conditions Can we assume problem behaviors are a symptom of autism? - CORRECT ANSWER no probelm behavios can be seen in any individuals
ABC continous recording - CORRECT ANSWER an observer records occurences of the targeted problem behaviors and selected environmental events in the natural routine during a period of time. may reveal events that occur in close temporal promisxty to the target behavior. Conditional Probability - CORRECT ANSWER the likelihood that a target behavior will occur in a given circumstance. can be misleading contingency space analysis - CORRECT ANSWER Identify contingent relations from descriptive data. Probability is specified for two sets of behavior classes: (1) the target problem behavior, and (2) other behaviors. ABC Narrative Recording - CORRECT ANSWER data are collected only when behaviors of interest are observed; recording is open ended scatterplot recording - CORRECT ANSWER A procedure for recording the extent to which a target behavior occurs more often at particular times than others; involves dividing the day into blocks of time, and using different symbols on an observation form to indicate the level of the target behavior (e.g., a lot, some, or not at all). Primary advantage of scatterplot recording - CORRECT ANSWER identify time periods during which the problem behavior occurs. Can we control behavior - CORRECT ANSWER No, we cannot, but we can manipulate environmental factors surrounding the behavior an we can control units of behavior: we can control responses, and we can predict choice. Purpose of a functional anslysis - CORRECT ANSWER the ability to yield a clear demonstaration of the variable or variables(function) that influence the occurence of a problem behavior repetition - CORRECT ANSWER In ABA therapy, one of the principles is to repeat things the same way each time so the child has a better chance to learn the skill correctly, but in developmental approaches we observe that children don't tend to adapt to new situations with the new skills
Determinism - CORRECT ANSWER the philosophy that holds that every event, action, and decision results from something independent of the human will( the world is a lawlfully and orderly place) Empiricism - CORRECT ANSWER the view that knowledge originates in experience and that science should, therefore, rely on observation and experimentation Baseline logic - CORRECT ANSWER a term sometimes used to refer to the experimental reasoning inherent in single subject experimental designs; entails three elements: prediction, verification, and replication. relevance of behavior rule - CORRECT ANSWER holds that only behaviors likely to produce reinforcement in the person's natural environment should be targeted for change parisomy - CORRECT ANSWER The simplest theory. All simple & logical explanations must be ruled out first before complex explanations. Philosophic Doubt - CORRECT ANSWER continually questioning the truthfulness and validity of all scientific theory and knowledge. Behaviorsim - CORRECT ANSWER the theory that human and animal behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning, without appeal to thoughts or feelings, and that psychological disorders are best treated by altering behavior patterns.
