ABA Exam Review B.21

These flashcards cover key terms and definitions related to emergent relations and generative performance in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), based on a review lecture.

Emergent Relations

Stimulus-stimulus or stimulus-response relations that arise from learned relations without direct teaching.

Generative Performance

The ability to produce new untrained responses based on previously learned skills or relations.

Stimulus Equivalence

The formation of untrained stimulus-stimulus relations as a product of training and reinforcement.

Reflexivity

A stimulus-stimulus relationship where A equals A.

Symmetry

A stimulus-stimulus relationship where if A equals B, then B equals A.

Transitivity

Emergence of a new relation where if A equals B and B equals C, then A equals C and C equals A.

Relational Frame Theory

The concept that humans learn to respond based on relationships between stimuli, such as size or similarity.

Teaching Loosely

Varying non-critical aspects of the instructional environment to promote generalization.

Programming Common Stimuli

Incorporating familiar stimuli from the environment into the teaching setting.

Multiple Exemplar Training

Teaching a skill or concept using a wide range of examples and non-examples.

Key Takeaway: Emergent Relations

Untrained responses can emerge from taught specific related stimuli.

Key Takeaway: Generative Performance

Allows learners to apply known concepts across novel situations.

Generalization Strategies

Methods used to help generalize behaviors and responses in different contexts.

Complex Ideas in BCBA Task List

Emergent relations and generative performance are reclassified concepts in the sixth edition.

Behavior Analyst Study Resources

Materials and support provided for BCBA and RBT exam preparation.

Focus on Simplification

New practitioners should keep concepts simple and avoid overwhelming details initially.
