|
Definition
Analytical supervision ensures:
1. treatment is provided correctly.
2. supervisees are well-trained.
3. provide the best chance for optimal outcomes. |

Term
| I-1 Potential risks of ineffective supervision |
|
Definition
The risks of ineffective supervision include, but are not limited to:
reduced work effort
harm to consumers
decreased enjoyment for staff and supervisors
absenteeism (Reid, Parsons, and Green, 2012).
in turn, damaging the field of ABA because of the domino effect ineffective supervision can have

| I-5 Use performance monitoring systems |
|
Definition
| Treatment integrity to confirm maintenance and reinforcement to maintain performance. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Provide performance feedback ASAP and in a way that doesn’t undermine the RBT. Through treatment integrity checks, one can determine whether or not implementation is being run correctly and which area the RBT needs to work in, if any.
Surveys, rating scales, and check-ins are some examples. |

Term
| I-5 Use reinforcement systems |
|
Definition
Token economies: Positive reinforcement, Negative reinforcement, and Punishment should be avoided if possible.
Think of the four functions of behavior and gear reinforcement options for all the different functions. |

Definition
| defined as an elementary verbal operant involving a response of any form that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement. Manding allows a speaker to get what she wants or refuse what she does not want. |

Definition
| ● tact is defined as an elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement. Tacting allows a speaker to identify or describe the features of the physical environment. The elements that make up one's physical environment are vast; thus, much of language instruction and educational programs focus on teaching tacts. |

Definition
| ● A intraverbal is an elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that does not have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus. The intraverbal is the opposite of the echoic, in that the words emitted by one speaker do not match the words of another speaker. Intraverbal behavior constitutes the basis for social interaction, conversations, and much of academic and intellectual behavior. Questions are mands, and answers are intraverbal. |

Definition
| An echoic is an elementary verbal operant involving a vocal response that is evoked by a vocal verbal SD that has formal similarity between an auditory verbal stimulus and an auditory verbal response product, and a history of generalized reinforcement. |

| Treatment drift: define and provide an example. |
|
Definition
| Treatment drift: An undesirable situation in which the independent variable of an experiment is applied differently during later stages than at the outset of the study. Example of treatment drift: The reinforcement schedule was FR2 in the beginning. However, the supervisees are now implementing a VR3 reinforcement schedule. The treatment has started to drift. |
|
|
Term
| Observer drift: What is it? And provide an example |
|
Definition
Any unintended change in the way an observer uses a measurement system over the course of an investigation that results in measurement error; often entails a shift in the observer’s interpretation of the original definitions of the target behavior subsequent to being trained. (See also measurement bias and observer reactivity.)
For example, the supervisees should be measuring protests, but they end up recording stimming behavior instead. |
|
|
Term
| define reactivity and provide an example |
|
Definition
Effects of an observation and measurement procedure on the behavior being measured. Reactivity is most likely when measurement procedures are obtrusive, especially if the person being observed is aware of the observer’s presence and purpose.
For example, a supervisee records data correctly in the presence of the supervisor but only when they are away. |

Definition
When a behavior
When a behavior is sustainable over time, it’s considered adept to generality. It means the learner can implement the behavior in various environments and settings, allowing them to behave appropriately in different situations. |
|
|
Term
| Define what effective means as a principle in ABA. |
|
Definition
Intervention techniques should
Intervention techniques should be effective, meaning they improve behavior in a functional method. If the challenging behavior does not reduce, the intervention is ineffective. |
|
|
Term
| Define what it means to be technological in ABA |
|
Definition
Intervention plans include procedures detailed in technological terms because they are evidence-based and replicated. The procedures will be clear and concise so interventionists can understand and implement the plan.
It’s technological when it can only be interpreted one way. This way, multiple interventionists can carry out the plan without switching things up on the learner. |
|
|
Term
| Define conceptually systematic |
|
Definition
This dimension highlights
This dimension highlights that all interventionists use research-based techniques. They’ll use the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA)Trusted Source as a primary source for their teaching methods. It indicates that all interventions relate to the core principles of JABA. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Every intervention used in the seven dimensions of ABA stems from scientific research with analyzable results. Experts used evidence-based research, data, and objective information to determine goals and targeted behaviors.
It allows for making educated choices about implementing specific interventions and setting goals. |

Term
|
Definition
The behaviors addressed
The behaviors addressed in a treatment plan must be measurable and observable. It should involve things that translate into data to show the learner’s progress. The data also helps determine further intervention plans to help the learner.
Measurable behaviors are things the learner does or should do, not what they think or feel. They’re observable and can be adapted or modified. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This dimension involves using socially significant techniques to improve the learner’s life. The behaviors vary based on the learner, so goals and interventions must apply specifically to that person. |

Term
| Define stimulus equivalence |
|
Definition
| The emergence of accurate responding to untrained and nonreinforced stimulus–stimulus relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus–stimulus relations. Requires successful performances on three types of probe trials—reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity—in the absence of reinforcement. (Also called equivalence-class formation.) |
