Continuous measurement examples

frequency, duration, latency, irt

Frequency

how many times the behavior occurs

Duration

how long the behavior lasts

Latency

time between the instruction and the behavior starting

IRT

time in between 2 behaviors and or responses

What is the difference between continuous measurement and discontinuous

continuous is data taken throughout while discontinuous could be only the last 20 minutes of session

What are examples of discontinuous measurement

partial, whole interval, and momentary time sampling

What is partial interval

the behavior is recorded counts as an occurrence if it occurs at all in the interval (just counted as 1 even if it occurs 4 times)

What is whole interval

if the behaviors occurs during the entire interval it counts as an occurrence (like staying seated)

What is momentary time sampling

if the behavior occurs at the end of the interval it counts as an occurrence

What graph is most commonly used

line graph

What would go on the x axis

time

What would go on the y axis

behaviors

What are examples of trends

increase, decrease, no trend

In a preference assessment what is the role of the RBT

to assist the BCBA

How often should preference assessments happen

constantly and or often

What are examples of preference assessments

single stim, forced choice, multiple stem with and without replacement

What is single stim

the one chosen at the end of the choices

What is forced choice

the one chosen the most

What is multiple stim with and without replacement

With replacement is replacing the item taken out until there is only one and with without there is no replacement 

What is ABC data

Antecedent , behavior and consequence

What is dtt

Discrete trial training

How does dtt work

it is usually at a table and it used an SD to demand the behavior and there is reinforcement for the correct answer

What is done before chaining can occur

task analysis

What is forward chaining

the first step is done independently and there is prompting throughout the rest of the steps until done entirely independently

What is backward chaining

the last step is done independently and the beginning throughout the rest is done with prompting until the steps are done entirely independently 

What is shaping

breaking down a behavior

What is an example of shaping

b —> ba —> ball

How is discrimination training done

you reinforce the correct behavior and use extinction for incorrect

What is stimulus control transfer

taking a behavior and making it occur under a different SD ie prompt fading

What is an example of stimulus control transfer

SD is what is 2+2

prompt: 2+2 equals 4

prompt: it is 4 

prompt: holding 4 fingers

prompt: no prompt

What are examples of prompting

verbal, gestural, physical, positional, and modeling

What is positional prompting

placing the correct answer closer to the client

What type of reinforcer is token economy

a secondary reinforcer

What are examples of reinforcement schedules

fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval and variable interval

What is FR 5

you would only reinforce on the 5th correct response

What is variable ratio

ion reward is given after an unpredictable  average amount of responses

What is FI 2

A reward is given after 2 minutes

What is variable interval

a reward is given for an average amount f time

Differential reinforcement examples

DRA and DRO

What is DRA

reinforcing only the alternative behavior occurs

What is DRO

reinforcing when a behavior is not happening

Antecedent implementing intervention and examples

implementing interventions for situations that occur before the behavior

example if ur client wants to tip things over put it out of their reach

What is an extinction burst

expected increase in behavior when you put a behavior on extinction

Client dignity

treat your client as you would everyone else

Profesionalism

no dual relationships

Supervision

5% of supervision hours in a month

Clinical supervision required

parents ask for parent training

What is positive reinforcement

Occurs when a stimulus is added after a behavior, making the behavior more likely to happen in the future

What is a example of positive reinforcement 

giving a high-five and verbal praise after a student raises their hand

What is negative reinforcement

Occurs when a stimulus is removed after a behavior, making the behavior more likely to happen in the future to avoid that stimulus

What is an example of negative reinforcement

A student turns in their homework to stop the teacher from nagging them
