Pass the Big ABA SECTION 8 EXAM Premack Principle Correct Answer: AKA Grandmas Law -Created by David Premack -A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high probability ... behavior contingent upon the occurrent of low probability behavior - Usually First/then statements Reponse Deprivation Hypothesis Correct Answer: -Created by Timberlake and Allison - Built on the Premack Principle -a model for predicting whether contingent access to one behavior will function as reinforcement for engaging in another behavior based on whether access to the contingent behavior represents a restriction of the activity compared to baseline -Restricting access to the behavior creates deprivation that serves as an EO, which makes the restricted behavior a very strong form of reinforcement. 4 behavior-environment relations that functionally define imitation Correct Answer: -Formal Similarity -model -immediacy -controlled relation Formal Similiarity Correct Answer: -the model and the behavior must physically look alike and be in the same sense mode Model Correct Answer: -the stimulus that is presented in an effort to evoke the imitative behavior. -Any Physical movement may function as a model for imitation Model=stimulus Imitation= behavior Immediacy Correct Answer: -an imitative behavior must immediately follow the model -immediacy is critical or is it not considered imitation Controlled Relation Correct Answer: the model must be the controlling variable for an imitative behavior 2 types of models Correct Answer: 1. Planned Models 2. Unplanned Models Planned Models Correct Answer: Pre-arranged antecedent stimuli that help learners acquire new skills. Unplanned models Correct Answer: Occur in everyday social interactions. Imitation Training Correct Answer: -Some individuals with disabilities need to learn imitation -The goal is to teach individuals to " do what the model does" 5 Steps of Imitation Training Correct Answer: 1. Assess & teach any prerequisite skills for imitation training. 2. Select models for training. 3. Pretest. 4. Sequence models for training. 5. Implement imitation training. Assess and teach any prerequisite skills for imitation training Correct Answer: -attending skills -gross and fine motor skills required -if challenging behaviors interfere with teaching, they may need to be reduced or eliminated first select models for training Correct Answer: -chose about 25 behaviors as models -present one model at a time, present complex sequences later pretest Correct Answer: pretesting assesses the individuals ability to imitate any models already Sequence models for training Correct Answer: using pretest results, models are arranged from easiest to most difficult Implement imitation training Correct Answer: Pre-assessment: -assesses the individuals current performance level and determines progress in learning to respond to a model Training: -the teacher repeatedly presents the models used in pre-assessment Post-assessment: -assesses how well the individual performs previously and recently learned behaviors Probes for Imitative Behavior: -assesses if the individual is developing an imitative repertoire. Guidelines for Imitation Training Correct Answer: -Keep training sessions short (10-15 minutes, couple times a day) -Reinforce both prompted & imitative responses. -Pair verbal praise & attention with tangible reinforcers. -If progress breaks down, back up & move ahead slowly. -Record Data. Shaping Correct Answer: -a process involving systematically and differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal behavior -clicker training -teaches novel behaviors successive approximations Correct Answer: the sequence of new response classes that emerge during the shaping process as the result of differential reinforcement; each successive response class is closer in form to the terminal behavior than the response class it replaces response differentiation Correct Answer: A behavior change produced by differential reinforcement: Reinforced members of the current response class occur with greater frequency, and unreinforced members occur less frequently (undergo extinction); the overall result is the emergence of a new response class. 2 Types of Shaping Methods Correct Answer: 1. ACROSS Response Topographies 2. WITHIN Response Topographies Shaping ACROSS Response Topographies Correct Answer: -Topography of bx changes during shaping. -Bxs are still m members of the same response class. Ex: a speech teacher teaching novel vocalizations to an individual who does not possess any vocal abilities Shaping WITHIN Response Topographies Correct Answer: -Topography of bx remains constant. -Another measurable dimension of bx is changed. Ex: Duration of time spent practicing piano increased through shaping Guidelines for shaping Correct Answer: 1. Assess terminal behavior & available resources 2. Select the terminal behavior 3. Determine criterion for success 4. Analyze the response class 5. Identify the first behavior to reinforce 6. Eliminate interfering & extraneous stimuli 7. Proceed in gradual stages 8. Limit the number of approximations at each level 9. Continue reinforcement when the terminal behavior is achieved. Behavior Chain Correct Answer: -Specific sequence of discrete responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition, where each response and the associate stimulus condition serve as an individual component of the chain -when the components are linked together, they produce a terminal outcome -each response in a chain produces a stimulus change that simultaneously serves two functions (Conditioned reinforcer and the Sd) 3 Important Characteristics of a Behavior Chain Correct Answer: 1. Performance of a specific set of discrete responses. 2. The performance of each response changes the environment in such a way that it produces conditioned reinforcement for the preceding response & [Show More]
