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)
Prediction	Two events may regularly occur at same time.
Control	Highest level of scientific understanding, functional relation
6 attitudes of science	DEER PP
Determinism	Cause and effect, Lawfulness, If/Then Statements, world is orderly and predictable
Empiricism	FACTS, experimental, data based scientific approach
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.
