| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Reinforcement is a powerful tool for _____ helpful behavior, but it can also be used to reduce problem behavior when applied strategically | increasing |
| it is generally understood that the more _____ the intervention is, the greater the chance for the client's human rights to be violated. | intrusive |
| categories of intervention | antecedent reinforcement-based extinction negative punishment positive punishment |
| antecedent | modifying before behavior occurs (offering choices) |
| reinforcement-based | teaching and strengthening appropriate behaviors |
| extinction | withholding reinforcement for previously reinforced behaviors |
| negative punishment | mild form of punishment that involves removing access to reinforcement |
| positive punishment | adding an aversive consequence following a behavior |
| non-contingent reinforcement or NCR | involves giving a reinforcer on a set time schedule, no matter what the client is doing at the time |
| how does NCR work? | by lower the motivation to engage in problem behavior |
| what is differential reinforcement? | a strategy where reinforcement is giving for behaviors you want to increase and withheld for behaviors you want to decrease. |
| what is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI) | provides reinforcements for the display of a behavior that cannot happen at the same time as the problem behavior |
| what is differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) | reinforce behaviors that are alternatives to the problem behavior. the replacement behavior does not have to be incompatible, just different but with similar characteristics |
| what is differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) | delivers reinforcement for any acceptable behavior when a problem behavior is not displayed during a certain interval of time |
| what is differential reinforcement of low rates of behavior (DRL) | used for behaviors that are acceptable or even appropriate in smaller doses |
| what is used for behaviors that need to be displayed at higher rate such as task completion or transitioning from one activity to the next | DRH |
| what is extinction? | a technique used to reduce unwanted behaviors by systematically removing the reinforcement that maintains them, leading to a decrease in those behaviors over time. |
| how does extinction work? | by abruptly stopping reinforcement for a previously rewarded behavior |
| Extinction should only be used if changing the environment and other strategies like differential reinforcement ______ worked | have not |
| what behaviors can extinction be used on? | when they: are disruptive to others in the environment are used to avoid compliance with directions are used to obtain attention, items, or access to activities are used to provide sensory feedback that interferes with routines |
| what is attention extinction? | it is removing attention from the problem behavior |
| some behaviors maintained by attention are difficult to extinguish because it is hard to get everyone in the environment to ______ their attention from problem behavior | withdraw |
| problem behaviors with a strong reinforcement history are highly _____ to change | resistant |
| what is escape extinction? | procedures that involve denying the opportunity to escape something the individual finds negative or aversive |
| automatic reinforcement is not triggered or reinforced by any _____ environmental circumstance | external |
| if the behavior is a result of automatic reinforcement, it can be reduced by _____ the opportunity for the person to engage in it | blocking |
| what is extinction burst? | when there is a temporary increase in how often a behavior occurs, how long it lasts, or increased intensity when an extinction protocol is started |
| when does spontaneous recovery happen? | when a previously extinguished behavior is displayed again |
| what can happen when extinction is used? | emotional responding: person my show strong feelings like crying, yelling, having a tantrum, or even acting out when they no longer get something they want for a behavior that used to work |
| it is important to use extinction along with reinforcement for _______ behaviors that can serve as replacements for problem behavior | desirable |
| extinction protocols must be implemented with high degrees of fidelity | must always be implemented in every aspect of client's life |
| the goal of punishment is to.... | reduce or eliminate a behavior |
| punishment should only be used _____ other forms of intervention have not proven to be effective | after |
| when should punishment be used in ABA practice? | when there is no other option in the behavior seriously impedes the health, safety, and future options for the client. |
| type 1 punishment or positive punishment is... | adding a stimulus or condition that will serve to reduce the future occurrence of behavior |
| a stimulus is only a punisher if it _____ a behavior | reduces |
| when is restitution overcorrection used? | a person disrupts the physical environment by making a mess, throwing objects, or engaging in other forms of behaviors that disrupt the physical environment |
| aversives are rarely and only used when.... | a client is at high risk of serious injury or death |
| type 2 or negative punishment is? | taking away something to reduce a behavior |
| what does the term "time out from positive reinforcement" mean? | that a person is temporarily denies access reinforcing environment |
| with non-exclusionary time-out... | the client stays in the same setting but is not allowed access to reinforcement for a brief time |
| with exclusionary time-out... | the client is removed from the reinforcing environment for a short time |
| response cost is another way of saying taking a reinforcer_____ | away |
| delayed access to reinforcement is a type of ____ punishment | negative |
| punishment along with reinforcement programs are ethical as long as.... | there is a specific goal, and other interventions do not work |
| what do written behavior acquisition plans provide to learners | goals and the procedures necessary to teach the skills associated |
| massed trails are effective for learners who are beginning to learn a new skill or for those who need higher levels of _____ to retain what they have learned | repetition |
