CARD Exam 1 BCAT LATEST 2022
RATED A
ABA ✔✔Applied Behavior Analysis
Core Principles of ABA ✔✔Desirable consequences increase behavior, undesirable consequences
decrease behavior.
3 term contingency ✔✔Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Behavior Analysis ✔✔The study of the principles of behavior
behavior ✔✔Anything someone says or does
Stimulus ✔✔Any physical object or event that someone can see, hear, smell, touch, or taste.
environment ✔✔All of the events and stimulus which affect the behavior of an organism.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ✔✔Pervasive developmental disorder which significantly
affects individuals across multiple areas of abilities.
3 Primary areas of ASD ✔✔Problems w/ social communication, problems w/ social interactions
& presence of restrictive or repetitive behaviors/interests.
Diagnosis of ASD ✔✔Prior to age 3, impact, can't be better explained by anything else.
Goal for treatment of ASD ✔✔Maximize each learners strengths.
EIBI ✔✔Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention
Skill Repertoire Building ✔✔The teaching and learning of new skills in order to strengthen and
expand an individual's skill repertoire
3 prominent behavioral teaching approaches ✔✔Discrete Trial Teaching, Natural Environment
Training, Fluency Based Instruction (FBI)
Discrete Trial ✔✔Structured teaching method consisting of clear and direct presentation of
learning trials to promote skill acquisition.
Natural environment training ✔✔Naturalistic teaching strategy.
Fluency Based Instruction ✔✔Taking an existing skill and increasing accuracy and speed of skill
performance in order to develop competence
primary reinforcer ✔✔an innately reinforcing stimulus, such as one that satisfies a biological need
(food, drink)
secondary reinforcer ✔✔a reinforcer that someone had to learn to like (games, coloring, puzzles
etc)
Reinforcer ✔✔occurs after the behavior for the given SD
Preference Assessment ✔✔Aims to identify an individual's favorite things so that they can be used
as rewards or potential "reinforcers" for desired behavior.
Forced/Paired preference assessment ✔✔Giving the learner just two options to identify what the
individual wants. Can be given different options if not interested.
multiple stimulus assessment ✔✔An array of potential reinforcers is presented to the individual
Prompts ✔✔Urge for action, occurs around the time we present the SD
Prompt Fading ✔✔to reduce assistance to a least intrusive prompt
prompt dependency ✔✔requiring a prompt to perform a task
Stimulus prompts ✔✔Addition to or alters the stimulus in order to facilitate a correct response.
(Manipulate)
response prompt ✔✔an additional cue added to the learners response to facilitate a correct response
physical prompt ✔✔manual guidance to facilitate a correct response
model prompt ✔✔providing a physical demonstration of the SD
echoic prompt ✔✔providing a vocal demonstration of the SD
verbal directive ✔✔Giving verbal instructions to guide. May include textual or visual
gesture prompt ✔✔providing a movement cue
positional prompt ✔✔altering the location of placement
within stimulus ✔✔adding to or altering a portion of the stimulus
full prompt ✔✔the entire prompt is delivered to assist the learner
partial prompt ✔✔only a portion of the prompt is delivered to help the learner
stimulation manipulation ✔✔manipulating any stimulus to make the prompt easier for the learner
full delivery ✔✔tell the learner exactly what to do. I.e.- "play uno" vs "go get the uno box, and
take the cards out."
inadvertent prompt ✔✔accidently giving away the correct response by body language or
placement. (looking, placing object in middle, holding hand closer to object)
Errorless learning ✔✔ensures success, early immediate prompts, prompts faded over time,
decreases frustration/increases motivation (used during initial teaching stages)
Acquisition ✔✔Learning of a new skill
Acquisition skill/Target skill ✔✔The response to a new behavior that is currently being taught to
the individual.
Prompt Hierarchy ✔✔A systematic arrangement of prompts used in a particular order to facilitate
learning.
Time Delay ✔✔Delay in time between the SD and the prompts
Constant time delay ✔✔Always waiting the same amount of time ie. 2 second
