Definition
| Methods for linking specific sequences of stimuli and responses to form new performances. |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimensions (frequency, topography, duration) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The portion of an organism's interaction with its environment that involves movement of some part of the organism. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A response followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus change that results in similar responses occurring in the future. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A contingency in which the occurrence of a response is followed immediately by the termination or avoidance of a stimulus which leads to an increase in the future occurrence of the behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A response followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A response behavior followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that results in similar responses occurring less often. |
|
|
Term
| Applied Behavior Analysis |
|
Definition
| The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve SOCIALLY SIGNIFICANT behavior. |
|
|
Term
| High Probability Request Sequence |
|
Definition
| An antecedent intervention in which two to five easy tasks with a known history of learner compliance (high-p requests) are presented in quick succession immediately before requesting the target task (low-p request) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Describes the resistance to change in a behavior's rate of responding following an alteration in reinforcement conditions. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A variety of techniques for gradually transferring stimulus control with a minimum of errors. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Behavior whose reinforcement is mediated by a listener |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A verbal operant evoked by a vocal stimulus that is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal stimulus that is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of verbal behavior in which the form of a motor response is under the functional control of a visual verbal SD that is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A verbal operant that is evoke by a verbal discriminative stimulus and that is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A verbal operant involving a response of any form that is evoked by an MO and reinforced by specific reinforcement. |
|
|
Term
| Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer |
|
Definition
| A conditioned reinforcer that as a result of having been paired with many other reinforcers does not depend on an establishing operation for any particular form of reinforcement for its effectiveness. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The extent to which the learner continues to perform the target behavior after a portion or all of the intervention has been terminated. |
|
|
Term
| Types of Response Prompts |
|
Definition
| Verbal, Modeling, Physical Guidance |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Prompts that assist the subject to evoke a correct response. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Prompts that operate directly on the antecedent task stimuli to cue a correct response in conjunction with the critical SD |
|
|
Term
| Types of Stimulus Prompts |
|
Definition
| Redundancy, Positional, Movement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One or more response dimensions are paired with the correct response (ex. making the target stimulus bigger than the comparative stimuli) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| involves the instructor placing the correct response closest to the learner (ex. moving LID target closer to student and not directly in the array) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Involves moving the target stimuli to make the correct response (ex. holding up LID card and moving it back and forth) |
