HOH Prompting ✔✔Hand over hand Active Listening ✔✔Active, effective listening as a habit Tact ✔✔A verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal SD and followed by generalized, conditioned, reinforcement.( Labeling or identifying an object) Positive punishment ✔✔Adding an adverse stimulus after a behavior in order to decrease the likelihood the behavior will occur again. Maladaptive ✔✔Negative, bad Functional behavior assessment ✔✔Systematic set of strategies used to determine function or purpose of behavior. Baseline ✔✔Measurement of a target behavior before an interaction. Extinction Burst ✔✔Increase in frequency of a behavior in early stages of extinction. Increase in negative behavior. Operational Definition ✔✔A way of defining a behavior in simple terms. Defining behavior Fine Motor Skills ✔✔Activities that require small coordination. Using hands (FBA) Functional Behavior Analysis ✔✔To determine the function or reason for behavior. Behavior functions ✔✔Attention, escape, automatic reinforcement, to obtain Generalization ✔✔Ability to learn a skill in one situation and apply its flexibility to other different situations. Negative Punishment ✔✔Punishment in which an appetitive stimulus is removed. Discrimative Stimulus (SD) ✔✔A stimulus in the presence of which responses are reinforced and in the absence of which they are not reinforced. Gross Motor Skills ✔✔Large body movements Extinction ✔✔A procedure in which the reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued. Also may be used to describe the "process" by which a previously learned behavior disappears as a result of non-reinforcement. Backward Chaining ✔✔A teaching procedure in which all behaviors are initially completed by the trainer except for the final behavior in the chain. Satiation ✔✔Decrease in responding due to the reduced effectiveness of the reinforcer, because the person has received too much of it. Intraverbal ✔✔Verbal response or patterns that are under the control of other verbal behaviors; often learn through associative learning (e.g. dog-cat; black-white, or a question followed by an answer). VB-Mapp ✔✔Verbal Bx Milestones Assessment and Placement Program; 170 verbal bx milestones across 3 developmental levels and 16 different cerbal operants and related skills (one is social bx) (0-18) (18-30), (30-48) Mand ✔✔Command or demand from the learner. Establishing Operations (EO) ✔✔A motivating operation that increases the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or an event as a reinforcer Neurobehavioral Issues ✔✔Study and treatment of behavior related too brain functioning. Partial Interval ✔✔Observation is divided into brief time intervals; observer records whether target behavior occurs at ANY TIME during interval Abolishing Operation (AO) ✔✔A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. For example, the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion. Self Stimulatory Behavior (SSB) ✔✔repetitive body movements or movements of objects AKAstemming Listener Response ✔✔the way in which the listener shows understanding of the message (point to point correspondence) SAF Meds ✔✔Flash Cards Scripting ✔✔Child engages in a verbal stem where they repeat or script phrases from TV or movies. Echololia ✔✔the exact echoing of phrases spoken by others Echoic ✔✔Verbal behavior term able to vocally imitate. Forward Chaining ✔✔Process of breaking a task into steps and following steps in order, begins with first step, then second, and continues learning all in sequential order until he/she can perform all steps in the task Prompt ✔✔An added stimulus or cue that is given just before a response and increases the likelihood that the response will occur. Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) ✔✔a systematic behavior program that teaches children to use pictures to communicate their needs and desires through approaching a communication partner and exchanging a symbol for the actual object. Approximation ✔✔Step towards a word or words Sanitizing the Environment ✔✔Getting rid of distractors Perseverative Behavior ✔✔the repetition of behavior that is no longer appropriate ex. when a child asks for a cookie over and over and over again(15 times) Neurotypical ✔✔non autistic Chaining ✔✔A process used to develop a sequence of responses by reinforcing each response with the opportunity to perform the next response Social Validity ✔✔The goals, procedures, and results of an intervention are socially acceptable to the client, the behavior analyst, and society. Environmental Biasing ✔✔To change room or environment Stereotypy ✔✔Stemming, repetitive movement. Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) ✔✔A plan that includes positive strategies, program Variable Ratio (VR) ✔✔Reinforcement presented after a certain number of responses, but that number varies from trial to trial (slot machine paying off) Fixed Ratio (FR3) ✔✔Set amount given Ratio ✔✔Number of responses Continuous Schedule ✔✔reinforcing of a variable ratio every time it occurs Intermittent Schedule ✔✔contingency of reinforcement in which some, but not all, occurrences of the behavior produce reinforcement Motivating Operation (MO) ✔✔a term for any environmental variable that (a) alters the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer; and (b) alters the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event. Discrete Trial Cycle (DTC) ✔✔Single cycle of instruction that may be repeated several times until a skill is mastered. Inter Trial Interval (ITT) ✔✔time between the end of a trial and start of the next Verbal operant ✔✔Manding, tacting, intraverbals, and echoic.
