SPCE 315 Quizzes Discuss each of the seven essential characteristics of ABA. - ✔✔1. Applied: focuses on socially significant behaviors 2. Behavioral: focuses on observable, objective measurement of behavior 3. Analytical: demonstrates functional relationship 4. Technological: fully describes all procedures implemented in detail that someone else could replicate implementation 5. Conceptually systematic: utilizes procedures based on principles of behavior analysis 6. Effective: demonstrates socially significant behavior change through objective measurement 7. Generality: produces behavior change across behaviors, people, and settings List the various steps in a typical ABA process and discuss two of them in detail. - ✔✔1. Identify the problem or change 2. Assess physical, social environment 3. Specify goals and objectives: Many concentrate on selecting or designing and pursuing constructive behavioral goals through positive means. 4. Assess behavior of concern 5. Select, apply valid, reliable measures 6. Functionally asses current behavior 7. Identify effective contingencies or reinforcement and generalization 8. Graph baseline data 9. Select or design behavior-change, experimental analytic, and generalization plan 10. Apply behavior change plan 11. Continue graphing, assess treatment fidelity, reliability of data collection: Valid, reliable measures need to be identified and used to permit the collection and recording of useful data. 12. Assess for generalization and experimentally analyze results 13. Maintain, thin intervention strategies Distinguish among primary secondary, and tertiary prevention. - ✔✔1. Primary prevention: addresses contextual factors including motivational operations with the aim of preventing discipline problems in the first place 2. Secondary prevention: involve small-group tutoring, social skills training, etc. for atrisk students 3. Tertiary prevention: involves individualized programs designed for the few students who are at high-risk How is reinforcement different than bribery? Give examples of each and how it does or does not affect behavior in the future. - ✔✔Reinforcement is different than bribery because reinforcement teaches the learner why a behavior is not socially acceptable and encourages them not to do that behavior again. Bribery encourages the individual to perform the unacceptable behavior again to gain an unearned want. For example, a kid is crying in a toy store because she wants several toys after already being told no. An example of reinforcement (negative) in this situation would be to remove the child from the toy store without any toys. An example of bribery in this situation would be to give the child the toys she wants to make her stop crying. Reinforcement encourages the behavior to decrease in the future; bribery encourages the behavior to increase in the future. What is treatment integrity and why is it important when using behavioral treatments? - ✔✔Treatment integrity refers to ensuring that everyone involved carries out and supports the intervention as planned. This is important when using behavioral treatments because procedures that veer away from their intended path pose a risk of failure. When the focus is on form/appearance/shape of the behavior, we are referring to the 'topography' of the behavior. - ✔✔True When the focus is on strength or force of the expression of behavior, we are referring to duration of the behavior. - ✔✔False Treatment integrity is the same thing as inter-observer reliability. - ✔✔False Transitory behaviors are only noted when an individual is transitioning from high preferred activity to a low preferred activity. - ✔✔False (pg. 116) A behavioral objective includes: - ✔✔Clear information on environmental details in which behavior is to occur Level of proficiency of a behavior can be measured by: - ✔✔Rate What is the best way to select potential reinforcers: - ✔✔Conduction preference assessments What is the proper way to refer to data when talking or writing about it: - ✔✔The data are stable Deprivation is defined as: - ✔✔Absence or reduction of a reinforcer's availability for a period of time Which one of the following is not a characteristics of a good measurement system: - ✔✔Fast The following are examples of different classes of reinforcers: - ✔✔idk List the steps to conducting a functional behavior assessment of a 7 yr-old engaging in spitting behavior during recess. - ✔✔1. Identify the problem 2. Collect information to determine function 3. Form a hypothesis 4. Plan interventions 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan What is a reinforcement sch
