ABA Exam 6 (version 2)

Important consideration for extinction❌

Have you implemented punishment first?

Advantage of free-operant assessments✅

Less likely to produce problem behavior

Spontaneous recovery💥

When a behavior suddenly begins to occur after it has decreased or stopped entirely

Resistant to extinction⏳

Behavior on an intermittent schedule of reinforcement

Asking about stimulus preferences🗣

Generally has a high number of false positives and low false negatives

DRA♻️

Use to decrease one behavior while increasing a new behavior

Paired-stimulus preference assessment⚖️

Present two stimuli simultaneously and have client choose one

Reinforcer assessment📈

Direct, data-based method to verify if a stimulus functions as a reinforcer

Full-session DRL🍬

Student gets candy when leaving desk fewer than 4 times during a lesson

Preference assessment❌

Does not determine if a stimulus functions as a reinforcer

Single-stimulus presentation🎯

Best for clients who have difficulty selecting among multiple stimuli

DRI🛑

Used to make a behavior occur less without necessarily eliminating it

Multiple stimulus with replacement🔁

Chosen stimulus remains in array for next trial

Extinction burst🔥

Increase in responding when extinction is first implemented

Ineffective extinction❌

Increase in behavior

DRO⏱

Reinforcer provided after set time of no problem behavior (e.g., Jamie’s mom gives reward after 5 mins)

Free-operant observation👀

Assessing preference by recording activities with unrestricted choice

Not a preference assessment method❌

Whole-interval observations
