Behavioral Mod. 2
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Incompatible behavior | A behavior that cannot be emitted simultaneously with another behavior because they are functionally or physically incompatible. It is also a behavior that interferes with performance of another behavior (see also DRI) |
Initial behavior | A behavior that the student performs before instruction begins and that resembles the target behavior in some way. It is the first behavior reinforced in a shaping procedure |
Instructional cycle | The stimulus, response, and consequence series. It is also called (three-term contingency) |
Intermitted reinforcement | The reinforcement of some, but not all, occurrences of a response |
Interval schedule of reinforcement | A reinforcement schedule based on the interval of time between reinforced responses. There are two kinds of interval schedules: fixed interval and variable interval |
Intervention | The action that is taken to change a target behavior |
Least restrictive treatment of model | A list of behavioral based treatment procedures for decreasing the inappropriate behavior of retarded persons in which the procedure are ranked according to their aversiveness, severity, and intrusiveness |
Manual restraint | The use of physical contact, with the trainer’s hand and/or body, in a behavioral physical restraint procedure. The restraint is contingent on the performance of a particular misbehavior |
Mechanical restraint | The use of devices such as straps or helmets in a behavioral physical restraint procedure. The non-contingent use of these devices is called custodial restraints |
Modeling | The presentation of a behavior to be imitated. See also imitation |
Natural consequence | A consequence that is not programmed but rather is provided by the environment |
Negative modeling | An undesirable side effect of punishment of interventions whereby the punished person may imitate the punishing behavior of the person providing the punishment |
Negative practice | A procedure in which the misbehaving person is required to repeatedly practice the inappropriate behavior |
Non-contingent reinforcement | Reinforcement that is not related to any specific response |
Non-exclusionary timeout | type 2 procedure misbehaving allowed remain reinforcing environment, but not allowed engage reinforcing activities specific period of time done by withdrawing specific reinforcers contingent observation, timeout chair instituting timeout ribbon procedure |
Operant aggression | The aggressive behavior directed towards the source of punishment |
Operant behavior | A behavior that is controlled by its consequences |
Operant level | A description of the frequency of a behavior before instruction begins |
Overcorrection | A type 1 punishment procedure in which the misbehaving student is required to overcorrect the environmental effects of the misbehavior and/or practice appropriate forms of behavior in those situations in which the misbehavior commonly occurs |
Partial graduated guidance | The segment of a graduated guidance procedure in which the trainer fades the amount of physical guidance so that the student gradually performs the desired behavior with less assistance |
