What are some harmful reinforcers we should avoid when implementing a behavior change program?

Avoid Harmful Reinforcers 4.10

We are to avoid the excess use of high sugar or fatty foods

Using large amounts of food

_{8.0 Public Statements}

_{-What statements are we to avoid publically}

Avoid making public statements that are false deceptive, or fradulent

Do not implement non-behavior analytic services

What does behavior analysis and Research 9.0

What does standards do BACB and RBTs must hold to in this area?

Conduct research according to professional standards, regulations, and professional standards

We do NOT Share the examine, or information about the exam

What does Compliance with the BACB Supervision and Coursework mean? 10.05

We Must maintain supervision and coursework requirements by the BACB 10.05

Discouraging Mispresentation by Non-Certified Individuals mean? 10.07

Coined and developed the term Operant Conditioning- led to the field of operate conditioning-learning by consequences

Understanding how to organize operates by consequences.

Frequency (how often),

Topography (e.g. form, duration (e.g. walking),

Latency (e.g. reading, the time between an instruction is given and they complete the instruction, i.e. they are getting faster and faster),

Magnitude (e.g. lifting a lever)

A reward is not necessary a reinforcer, just because somebody likes something, does it mean it will INCREASE a behavior. It must increase the bx in order to be a reinforcer.

Example, I like blueberries, but blueberries are not going to increase my behavior to study more if withheld. LOL!

Parents or caregivers may not have a complete analysis of what the client (maybe missing some preferences of the child)

May misunderstand what preferences are effective reinforcers to change a behavior

Behavior Intervention Technologies (BITS)

Example (online preference assessments, Central Reach, used for online data tracking, graphing and reporting, online rubrics

Unstructured- simply asking the interviewee questions, open ended

Structured- a structured survey or questions, (can included a data tracked or logged survey to ensure consistency across interviewees), ABBLS, Child reinforcer survey (2-6 years old and 6-12 years old)

Standardized Survey- to give to stakeholders

Clinician Survey-Interviewee is asked to select preferred items

-possibilities are delineated- each item is named

Forced-Choice Assessments

Single Stimulus Assessment

Single Stimulus Engagement

Multiple Stimulus with Replacement

Multiple Stimulus without Replacement

Free Operant Assessment- (example: client is allowed to

roam for 5 minutes/ record the time to engage with each item)

Basis Observations- just observation what times are engaged with (duration, time, frequency)

What are some importance considerations we must make about the child when conducting preference assessments?

Does the child able to make choice making skills?

Is the person's attention appropriate matched to the items offered?

Will the assessment process provoke the child's behavior state?

(i.e. provoke a challenging behavior if you try to remove the item)

1) Are the items select appropriate for the client's age

2) Are the items selected fit the culture, and environment in wear they will be used (i.e. is using a jumbo stuff animal an appropriate reward when treatment is going to be conducted on the playground or at a restaurant... no.)

3) Are the items selected appropriate for the social environment/setting?

(i.e. letting child listen to a boombox when treatment is conducted in the classroom)

1) Consider the clients motivation value based on the clients biological states (if the client is hungry, tried, thristy, this will effect what the client might prefer in the moment ie maybe the juice or animal crackers)

2) Is  the client in a state of satiation or deprivation

(just played an hour on computer, computer is in a state of satiation at the time of preference assessment)

1-Data Collection

2-planned activities appropriate to their situation

3-treatmnet strategies that match the developmental skill level of the individual and are not demeaning

4- Interdisciplinary team (Speech and Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist etc

5- There may be a biobehavioral component and a requirement to monitor the effects of pharmacological interventions

6-Generalization programming. Use active promotional strategies.

Programming common stimuli- program clients to generalize targets in untrained areas

Clinicians will select the appropriate assessment based what? (3 Different Reasons)

1) Reason for referral for services

(e.g. skill building, behavior reduction, community based skill training)

2) Age and development of the client

3) And the funding source- an insurance company

(The funding source-family, insurance, or school might give you a specific recommendation of the assessment tool you will use)

Should be comprehensive- should cover all areas of the behavior

Precision Targets-Should age appropriate or developmentally appropriate targets

Emphasis- of the tool should be functional not form

Linkage between assessment and curricula targets

You Also must have useful tracking

Unbalanced –bias

Non-individualized goals-just putting goals in place not in light of the client’s needs

Focus on Unnecessary and non-functional assessments

To Identify the function of the behavior

Id skill deficits or id current skills of the client

The variables maintaining the behavior,

            Biological, social, affective and or environmental

And then teach the functionally equivalent replacement behaviors

It is the family that makes the difference!

We need to work with the families and help the families to work and function well with the intervention

Families are going to need skills, knowledge and abilities to help families be successful with a child with disabilities

The goal of an in-home intervention is to help parents be successful beyond/after services discontinue. They need to successful with treatment, they are one maintaining the treatment

It is Watching a video or record the skills of clients to evaluate the skills of clients

Behaviors Cusps (skills, targets, behaviors) are those behaviors that allow the learner to have access or gain access to new environments or behaviors as a result of the learned behavior. i.e learning to walk can lead to other "shaped" skills such as dancing, running, getting to interact with the family pet or family members

Pivotal Behaviors (those skills, targets etc) that are learned in one setting that can be demonstrated  in other untrained settings (i.e. such as Functional communication , or choice making. Teach the skill in one area (treatment setting), it then can be applied to all other settings without training.

What are three causes to disruptive behaviors (Not functions)?

Socially-Mediated Positive Reinforcement behaviors- following the occurs of a behavior something that another person does that reinforces the client’s behavior.

Socially mediated Negative Reinforcement- following the occurrence of the behavior, something another person does in removal of stimulus that reinforces the behavior

Automatic Positive Reinforcement-something the client does that reinforces the client’s behavior (not involving another person)

-This Checklist id's setting events that give rise to a behavior

Such as

  -Social circumstances-moved away from family, previous fight with friends

-biological

 -environmental-loud noises, light

                   -change in routines-something changed before hand

What is Experimental Analysis (or Functional Analysis) of a behavior?

It is where by if a hypothesized function of a behavior or FBA cannot be determined by doing a direct or indirect assessment, or descriptive assessment (A-B-C Recording).

You now test the behavior using four test considitions to Analyize the behavior

Alone Condition (test automatic)

Attention Condition

(test to see if it is behavior maintained or reinforced by attention) deliver attention to see if the behavior excellerates; if problem behavior occurs, show and give attention, concern)

Demand Condition

(test to determine if behavior is maintained/reinforced by clients wanting to escape; if problem behavior occurs, allow client to escape task for 30 seconds.

Play Condition

(to eliminate Motivation Operation (MO) is not the function of social and automatic reinforcement; so if client engages in problem behavior while engage in play with item, ignore).

Tangible

(To identify if behavior is a function of positive reinforcement access to item- so when inappropriate behavior occurs, give item toclient
