selecting/implementing interventions

Vocabulary flashcards covering goal development, mitigating unwanted effects of reinforcement, forms of relapse, threats to procedural integrity, and core competencies for collaboration based on the lecture transcript.

Six Items Included in Goal Objectives

Target behavior, specific conditions, non conditions, mastery criteria, maintenance and generalization, and other measures.

Bases for Intervention Recommendations

Assessment results, scientific evidence, client preference, and contextual fit.

Socially Valid Alternative Behavior

An appropriate alternative behavior selected to be established or increased when a target behavior is planned for decrease or elimination.

Unwanted Effects of Reinforcement Procedures

Potential unwanted outcomes including emotional responding, adjunctive (schedule-induced) behaviors, suppressed target behaviors, approach to reinforcing agent, behavioral contrast, response generalization, aggressive responses, transient effects, imitation, decrease in unreinforced behavior, and excessive responding.

Approach to Reinforcing Agent

An unwanted effect of reinforcement characterized by increased physical proximity to the reinforcing agent.

Behavioral Contrast

When the target behavior changes in the opposite undesired direction in a non-therapeutic context.

11 Strategies for Mitigating Unwanted Effects

Assess risk, consent, assent, collaborate, FBA, least restrictive, reinforcement, new skills, monitoring, choice, and training.

Five Forms of Relapse

Resurgence, renewal, reinstatement, spontaneous recovery, and recovery from punishment.

Resurgence

The re-emergence of an extinguished behavior when the reinforcement for an alternative replacement behavior is discontinued or when the reinforcement is thinned too quickly.

Renewal

When a behavior that was reduced in one environment or context surfaces in another environment.

Reinstatement

When a previously reduced behavior reemerges when a stimulus that was present during behavior prior to that intervention is reintroduced.

Spontaneous Recovery

An expected and typically short period of reemergence of a previously extinguished behavior after time passes following a successful extinction treatment.

Recovery from Punishment

When the rate of behavior temporarily increases back to or above baseline levels after a punishment procedure is discontinued.

Strategies to Prevent or Mitigate Relapse

Procedural integrity, prepare stakeholders, reinforce multiple alternative behaviors, incorporate multiple sources of alternative reinforcement, train alternative responding separately from problem behavior, delay reinforcement, and fade reinforcement.

Nine Threats to Procedural Integrity

Poor training, weak definitions, complex interventions, treatment drift, experimenter bias, reactivity, observer bias, preference, and emotional/environmental constraints.

Core Competencies for Effective Collaboration

Values and ethics, roles and responsibilities, interprofessional communication, teams, and teamwork.
