Module 12 & 13

An opportunity for three or more children to come together and simultaneously learn social behaviors is known as

Social skills group

According to researchers what was one area of research needed for social skill groups

Blind evaluators

What reinforcement system was used in Leaf et al., 2016 (penguin study)

Level system

What were the results of the penguin study?

Statistical improvement in social behavior

In the Autism Partnership Method, which procedures should be implemented within social skill groups?

Discrete trial teaching and Cool Versus not Cool Procedure

Which is an approach that involves targeting specific behaviors within an ongoing activity?

Embedded instruction

One of the final stages of contingency systems within a social skills group is

Self-management

The SSIS, SRS, and ABC are examples of

Formal assessments

In the Autism Partnership Method, siblings are ______ within social skill groups

Not used

Every instance of behavior occurs during some amount of time (i.e., the duration of behavior can be measured) is known as

Temporal extent

Every instance of behavior occurs at a certain point in time with respect to other events (i.e., when behavior occurs can be measure) is known as

Temporal locus

This term is used to describe when environmental variables are actively manipulated, and the effect of those manipulations on the behavior of interest is measured

Independent variableT

This term is used to describe what is measured when environmental variables are actively manipulated

Dependent variable

This term refers to when a change in the behavior of interest is due to the intervention and no other variables

Functional control

Defining behavior in observable terms is known as a

Operational definition

Within this type of measurement every instance of behavior is counted

Frequency

What is one disadvantage of frequency measurement?

Time consuming

Scoring if a behavior occurred during any portion of an interval is known as

Partial interval recording

Partial interval recording commonly

Overestimates most behavior but underestimates low frequency behaviors

Scoring if a behavior occurs at a specific moment in time is known as

Momentary time sampling

Momentary time sampling commonly

Neither overestimates or underestimates behavior

Scoring only if a behavior occurred during an entire interval is known as

Whole interval recording

Within this data collection system, a learner’s response is scored on every trial

Trial-by-trial

Which of the following is a potential disadvantage of trial-by-trial data?

Slows teaching

This refers to measuring the time between an environmental event and a behavior (e.g., the time between the instruction and the response)

Latency data

A completed math sheet would be an example of which type of data?

Permanent product

Which data collection system is the hallmark of the Autism Partnership Method?

Estimation data

When using estimation data, the technician uses a

Likert scale

Which of the following should be done to prepare for collecting data?

Be trained in data collection procedures

When two observers agree on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a behavior it is known as

Reliability

This refers to a phenomenon in which behavioral definitions gradually change overtime

Observer drift

What color should graphs be displayed in

Gray scale

When behavior is going up that is known as

Increasing trend

When behavior is going down that is known as

Decreasing trend

What is one important component of a session note

Objective descriptions
