Behavior Quiz 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Biophysical Explanations | - genetic/hereditary factors. ex) autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression. |
| Biochemical Explanations | - hypothesised of having to much or not enough of a substance in the body or brain damage. ex) ADHD and Brain Injuries. |
| 1 Developmental Explanations - Many predictable patters of development. | A Stage Theory of Cognitive Development (Piaget) - Progessrion through crucial stages driven biologically. Assimilation, Accommodation, and Equilibrium. |
| 2 Developmental Explanations - Many predictable patters of development. | Psychoanalytic Theory (Freud) - Human behavior may be understood and explained through progression through crucial stages. ex) Fixation at oral stage can lead to smoking. |
| Cognitive Explanations | Gestalt theory - Imposing ones own meaningful patterns and insights on information. Bruners Discovery Learning - arrange environment to promote discovery. Constructivism - Students construct knowledge in their own minds. |
| Behavioral Explanations | - human behavior, both adaptive and maladaptive is learned. Immediate environment controls behavior Behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences tends to be repeated and learned, and visa versa. |
| Strengths Biophysical | - Varigiable - Fair |
| Strengths Developmental | - Inclusive - Good / Predicitve Utility - Fair |
| Strengths Cognitive | - Inclusive - Fair |
| Strengths Behavioral | - Inclusive - Fair / Verigiability - Good / Predictive Utility - Good / Parsimony - Good |
| Positive Reinforcement | Addition or increase of a desirable or pleasant environmental condition. |
| Negative Reinforcement | Removal or reduction of an aversive or unpleasant environmental condition. |
| Punishment | Addition or increase of aversive or unpleasant condition; removal or reduction of desirable or pleasant environmental condition. |
| Extinction | Discontinuation of either positive or negative reinforcement. |
| Stimulus Control | Relation in which an antecedent causes behavior or serves as a cue for the behavior to occur. |
| Modeling | Demonstrating desired behaviors for a student. |
| Shaping | Reinforcing successive approzimations of a desired behavior. |
| Inclusiveness | Does it account for a substantial quantity of behavior? |
| Verifiability | Is the explanation testable? |
| Predictive Utility | Does explanation provide reliable answers about what people are likely to do under circumstances? |
| Parsimony | Simplest Explanation? |
| Ivan Pavlov | Respondent Conditioning Pairing stimuli so that a conditioned stimulus elicits a conditioned response. Worked with dogs - measure salvation of food, sound with food, and just sound. |
| Edward Thorndike | Association Law of Effect - Bahvior changes by consequences. Law of Exercise - Responses made in particular situations become associated with the situation. |
| John Watson | Behavorism - “Father?” Coined Term “Behaviorsim” Focused on observable behaviors only. Baby Albert Condition complex emotions in infants. Conditioned Response. |
| B.F. Skinner | Operant Conditioning - Helped improve towards a “hard” science. Functional relations between behaviors and consequesnces. Voluntary behaviors Behavior Modifications Applied Behavior Analysis - Environment |
| 1 factor that lead to concerns about ABA | Confusion with Other Procedures - people relate unrelated procedures to behavior modification. Ex) hypnosis, psychosurgery, brain implants, drug theraphy, shock treatment. |
| 2 factor that leads to concerns about ABA | Reaction to Controversial Procedures - Misscuminications. Ex) Adverse and exclusionary procedures create problems through misuse and concern. |
| 3 factor that leads to concerns about ABA | Concerns about Coercion - some say attempting to alter behavior is coercion. Behavior is Lawful - Behavior is under control of the environment and can be predicted. Behavior is determined - Maximizes freedom by increasing choices |
| Criteria for verifying that procedures for behavior change are being ethically implemented | Community Standards Laws and Regulations Individual Response Caregiver Response |
| Confusion between ABA and behavior modification 1 | The term behavior modification causes confusion because modification is synonymous with change. Used to refer to procedures that can change behavior. ex) Hypnosis, psychosurgery, brain implants, drug therapy, and electroconvulsive shock treatment. |
| Confusion between ABA and behavior modification 2 | Misscummunitaction and misuse of terminology can cause confusion by telling a parent or fellow educator about behavior modification if they do not know what that is or what it entails. |
| Social Validity | Importance of behaviors changes to the community acceptability of procedures to consumers. Questionnaires Interviews Surverys |
| Component 1 of behavioral objective | 1) Identify the Learner Use students name. |
| Component 2 of behavioral objective | 2) Identify the target Behavior State what the student will do. Describes behaviors that are observable, measurable, and repeatable. Operational Defintion - Providing a concrete example of a target behavior |
| Component 3 of behavioral objective | 3) Identify the Conditions of Interverntion Conditions are antecedent stimuli related to the target behavior. Antecedent stimuli, instructions, materials, setting. Set occasion for appropriate response as in verbal request or written instructions. |
| Component 4 of behavioral objective | 4) Identify the Criteria for Acceptable Performance Set minimum performance standards. |
