| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| habituation | a decrease in responding to the same stimulus repeatedly presented |
| intertrial interval | the time interval between trials or occurrences of individuals CS-US pairings or response-reinforcer pairings |
| pseudoconditioning | a sensitization procedure in which a CS occasionally occurs randomly among occurrences of a US, without pairing the two. |
| sensitization | an increase in an innate response tendency as a result of repeated stimulation |
| sensory adaptation | a decrease in the sensitivity of sensory receptors due to repeated stimulation; sensory fatigue. |
| spontaneous recovery | A behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the behavior suddenly begins to occur after its frequency has decreased to its prereinforcement level or stopped entirely. |
| 7 dimensions of ABA | Generality, effective, technological, applied, conceptually systematic, analytic, behavioral |
| Dimensions of ABA - applied | variables are important to an individual and/or society (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968) |
| Dimensions of ABA - analytic | manipulation of control over the target behavior must demonstrate that functional relationship exists (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968). |
| Dimensions of ABA - behavioral | focus on the measurable dimensions of behaviors and use precise measurements methods that can clearly identify the changes of the behavior (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968). |
| Dimensions of ABA - conceptually systematic | related all of the interventions or procedures back to the principles from which they were derived (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968). |
| Dimensions of ABA - effective | the change in the target behavior is to a degree that is significant to be socially important (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968) |
| Dimensions of ABA - generality | the behavior change is seen over an extended period of time, across different settings, or among other relevant behaviors (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968). |
| Dimensions of ABA - technological | list and fully describe all components of the intervention as well as fully described those components (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968). |
