ABA Terms

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Applied Behavior Analysis   Evidenced based applied science, discovering environmental variables that influence socially significant behavior  
🗑
Science   Determinism, systematic approach, natural world  
🗑
3 levels of scientific understanding   Description, Prediction, Control  
🗑
Description   quantified and classified (Number of praise statements made by teachers in the classroom)  
🗑

🗑

🗑

🗑
Determinism   Cause and effect, Lawfulness, If/Then Statements, world is orderly and predictable  
🗑

🗑
Experimentation   Manipulating variables to see effect on DV, basic strategy of most sciences, all variables must be controlled except DV  
🗑
Replication   Repeating experiments, determine the reliability  
🗑
Parsimony   Simple, fewest assumptions, keep it simple stupid  
🗑
Philosophical Doubt   Healthy skepticism  
🗑
7 Dimensions of ABA   BATCAGE  
🗑
Behavioral   Observable events, (raising your hand)  
🗑
Applied   Socially significant behaviors, improves everyday life  
🗑
Technological   Replicable like a recipe, detail  
🗑
Conceptually Systematic   tied to basic principles of ABA (PER) Punishment, extinction, reinforcement  
🗑
Analytical   A functional relationship is demonstrated, Experimental control  
🗑
Generality   Extends behavior change across time, settings, or other behaviors  
🗑
Effective   Did it work? Improves behavior  
🗑
Mentalism   What the HEC? (Hypothetical construct, explanatory fiction, circular reasoning) Freud, talk therapy, inner dimension  
🗑
Hypothetical Constructs   Free will, using the diagnosis to explain behavior, presumed but unobserved entities  
🗑
Explanatory Fictions   knows, wants, figure out  
🗑
Circular reasoning   He cried because he felt sad, cause and effect are both inferred from the same information  
🗑
Behaviorism   Philosophy of the science of behavior. Environmental explanations of behavior  
🗑
4 Branches of Behavior analysis   CASE (Conceptual Analysis (Behaviorism), ABA, Behavior Service Delivery, Experimental Analysis of behavior (EAB)  
🗑
Ivan Pavlov   Respondent conditioning with dogs, 1906 first study  
🗑
John Watson   Methodological behaviorism, publicly observable events, Little Albert experiment, no private events  
🗑
B.F. Skinner   Radical behaviorism, included private events,  
🗑
2 Primary Types of Behavior   Respondent and Operant  
🗑
Respondent Behavior   Elicited, Involuntary, Reflex, US-UR, unlearned behaviors, Phylogenic  
🗑
Habituation   When the eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short time, the strength of the respondent behavior diminishes. (Bright light in eyes makes pupil constriction lessen.)  
🗑
Respondent Conditioning   Ivan Pavlov bell....... US,UR,NS,CR,CS  
🗑
Operant Behavior   Emike/Evoke, Voluntary Action, 3-term contingency, S-R-S, Ontogenic (interaction with environment), history with consequences  
🗑
Operant Contingency   The dependency of a particular consequence on the occurrence of the behavior. (You can stay up later by one hour if you get all your chores done.)  
🗑
What is the primary unit of Analysis in ABA?   3 Term Contingency A-B-C  
🗑
3 principles of behavior   Punishment, Extinction, Reinforcement (PER)  
🗑
Contiguity   When 2 stimuli occur close together IN TIME, resulting in an association of those 2 stimuli  
🗑
Response   Single instance of behavior  
🗑
Response Class   A group of behaviors that comprise an operant. 1 question= different answers.  
🗑
Stimulus   Internal or external, an energy change, physical events that affect the bx of an individual, can be described formally  
🗑
3 types of nervous systems   PIE: Proprioceptive, interoceptive, exteroceptive  
🗑
Proprioceptive   Balance and movement (Propel take for muscles)  
🗑
interoceptive,   Internal events, (headache, hunger pains)  
🗑
exteroceptive   Think 5 senses, (Hearing, smelling)  
🗑
Stimulus class   Antecedent stimuli that have a common effect on an operant class  
🗑
3 types of stimulus classes   FOR THE FUN (FTF) Formal, Temporal, Functional  
🗑
Formal Stimulus Class   Physical Feature (topography), size, color, on top  
🗑
Temporal Stimulus Class   TIME, changes that exist or occur prior to a behavior or after a behavior.  
🗑
Functional Stimulus Class   Hearing a buzz when you have a text messages or your battery is low  
🗑
Feature Stimulus Class   All dogs (common topographies  
🗑
Arbitrary Stimulus Class   Limited number of stimuli, Evoke same response but they do NOT share a common stimulus feature. 50%, 1/2, 0.5 do not look alike but share the same meaning  
🗑
Consequences   Only affect future behavior, immediate have the greatest effect  
🗑
Automaticity   A person does not have to know hat a consequence means for it to work. Operant conditioning occurs automatically.  
🗑
Positive reinforcement   AKA: Type I Reinforcement Sr+, increases the future frequency of behavior.  
🗑
5 types of positive reinforcers   EATSS Edible, Activity, Tangible, Social, Sensory  
🗑
Negative Reinforcement   AKA: Type II, Sr- Reduction or removal of a stimulus that increases the frequency of behavior.  
🗑
2 Types of Negative Reinforcement   Escape and Avoidance  
🗑
Escape   escape from an ongoing aversive stimulus (walk out of a boring lecture)  
🗑
Avoidance   A response prevents or postpones the presentation of a stimulus.  
🗑
Discriminated Avoidance   A signal prevents the onset of a stimulus from which escape is a reinforcer. (Checking the traffic report to avoid the freeway traffic while going to work)  
🗑
Free-Operant Avoidance   No warning, the avoidance is free to occur at any time.  
🗑
Unconditioned reinforcer   No learning history required, stimulus change that can increase future frequency without prior pairing (Food, water, hot, cold) (Phylogency)  
🗑
Conditioned Reinforcer   NS- functions as a reinforcer through S-S pairing with one or more UR or CR. (Tone with food)  
🗑
Generalized conditioned reinforcer   Money, token systems, social attention and social praise. CR that is paired with many UR and CR's  
🗑
Punishment   Decreases the future frequency of behavior. 2 term contingency B-C.  
🗑
Recovery from punishment   Punishment is stopped, its effects on behavior are not permanent.  
🗑
Behavioral Contrast   A change in one component of a multiple schedule that is accompanied by a change in the opposite direction on another component.  
🗑
Positive Punishment   AKA: Type I. Addition of stimulus that decreases in future frequency of behavior  
🗑
5 types of positive punishment interventions   ROSER Reprimands Overcorrection Shock Exercise Response Blocking  
🗑
Reprimands   No! Stop!  
🗑
Overcorrection   Restitutional Overcorrection: Repair environment to original state and make it better. Positive Practice: Repeatedly perform the correct behavior  
🗑
Negative Punishment   AKA: Type II, removal of stimulus that decreases future frequency of behavior.  
🗑
Negative Punishment Procedures   Response Cost Time Out Procedures  
🗑
Response Cost   Loss of specific amount of reinforcement contingent on a behavior.  
🗑
Bonus Response Cost   Students usually get 15 minutes of recess but you give them a bonus 15 that you can take away from.

Direct Fines   Direct loss of positive reinforcers, Lose 5 minutes of recess time.  
🗑
Non-exclusionary time out   Not removed from space, less restrictive  
🗑
4 Types of Non-Exclusionary Time Out   IWOR Planned Ignoring Withdrawal of a specific Positive Reinforcer Observation Ribbon  
🗑
Ribbon/Time out Ribbon   On= can earn reinforcement Off=Cannot earn reinforcement  
🗑
3 Types of Exclusionary Time Out   RPH Room-Time out room Partition time out Hallway time out  
🗑
Extinction   Previously reinforced response is discontinued so that behavior decreases in the future. Not a punishment procedure  
🗑
3 Types of Extinction   PAN Positive Reinforcement Automatic Reinforcement (light switch) Negative Reinforcement  
🗑
Extinction Burst   The burst is first, immediate increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
