Aba Behavior Reduction

Front 1

providing food free of charge, so that there is no need to display the behaviors when they want food

Back 1

non contingent reinforcement example

Front 2

giving attention free of charge so that there is no need to throw books on floor to get attention

Back 2

non-contingent reinforcement example

Front 3

take stimuli with know reinforcing property and present on a fixed or variable time. "give reinforcers free of charge

Back 3

non contingent definition

Front 4

use behavior with high preference to help behaviors with low preference( present 3/4 requests with high-p then give 1 low-p request)behavioral momentum ( use behaviors with a hgih probability of occurance to help behaviors with a low probability happen

Back 4

high -probability request definition

Front 5

mass and velocity (high -p)

Back 5

components of behavioral momentum

Front 6

1. non-contingent reinforcement
2 High-P request sequences

Back 6

2 antecedent strategies to decrease behavior

Front 7

an antecedent intervention in which 2 to 5 easy tasks with a known history of compliance are presented in quick succession immediately before requesting the target task, the low-p request

Back 7

High - P request sequence definition

Front 8

someone does not comply when asked to take their feet off the couch, first give them some high - p request ( Give me 5), before you give them a low-p request

Back 8

High - p request example

Front 9

build up level of reinforcement for response class, get the behavior going

Back 9

behavioral momentum

Front 10

a behacior change strategy that manipulates contingency-independent antecedent stimuli- (MO) - strategies employed before the behavior occurs

Back 10

antecedent strategies

Front 11

reinforce one member of a response class , but not others

Back 11

differential reinforcement

Front 12

differential reinforcement of other behavior, reinforcing ommissions of the behavior for a specified period of time

Back 12

DRO

Front 13

FI- DRO Fixed interval
FM- DRO Fixed Momentary
VI-DRO variable interval
VM-DRO variable momentary

Back 13

DRO - variations

Front 14

trying to eliminate scratching of head, reinforce everything except scratching of head

Back 14

DRO example

Front 15

DRO schedule of reinforcement, when when you reinforce when a behavior doesnt occur during a specific interval

Back 15

interval dro

Front 16

If you don't bite your hand during this 5 minute interval, you will get a reinforcer

Back 16

Interval DRO example

Front 17

when you look at a behavior at an end of an interval and you record whether the behavior happened or not

Back 17

momentary DRO definition

Front 18

bob likes to talk in class , a reinforcer is delivered if at the end of 5 minutes you look up and Bob is not talking

Back 18

momentary DRO example

Front 19

interresponse time, the time between responses, helps you calculate dro interval

Back 19

IRT - definition

Front 20

observation length / frequency = IRT, make DRO interval a little shorter

Back 20

how to calculate DRO interval ,

Front 21

differential reinforcement of low rates- a schedule of reinforcement used to decrease a behavior, not totally eliminate it

Back 21

DRL- definition

Front 22

3 types of DRL
1. full session
2. interval
3. spaced responding

Back 22

3 types of DRL

Front 23

comparing the number of responses during an entire session to some criterion, deliver reinforcement if number is below criterion

Back 23

full session DLO

Front 24

divide full session into intervals and reinforce if criterion is met during an interval

Back 24

Interval DRL

Front 25

a procudure for implementing DRL in which reinforcement follows each occurence of the target behavior that is separted from the previous response by a minimum interresponse time (IRT)- example stuffing food into mouth, reinforce when time between bites

Back 25

Spaced responding DRL

Front 26

average of baseline

Back 26

how to set criterion for DRL

Front 27

Differential reinforcement of higher rates, appliecation of reinforcement schedule to increase rate of behavior

Back 27

DRH

Front 28

differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior- a procedure for decreasing problem behavior that i topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction, and withheld following instances of the problem behavior

Back 28

DRI

Front 29

sitting in seat is incompatible with walking around the room

Back 29

DRI ecample

Front 30

differential reinforcement of alternative behavior- a procedure for devreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desireable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior

Back 30

DRA

Front 31

reinforcing completion of academic worksheet item when the behavior targeted for reduction is talk outs

Back 31

DRA example

Front 32

an antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught as a replacement behavior for problem behavior usually evoked by an esablishing operation involves DRA

Back 32

functional communication training FCT

Front 33

a student throws his books on the floor, instead teach student to say excuse me, or I need help

Back 33

FCT example

Front 34

reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued

Back 34

extinction

Front 35

when you ignore behavior regardless of the reinforcer

Back 35

procedural extinction

Front 36

when you ignor a behavior regardless of the function

Back 36

procedural extinction

Front 37

when you withhold the reinforcer that is MAINTAINING the behavior

Back 37

functional extinction

Front 38

don;t give reinforcer

Back 38

EXT: what to do for behavior maintained by positive attention

Front 39

continue demand

Back 39

EXT: what to do if behavior is maintained by negative attention

Front 40

prevent person from experiencing consequence

Back 40

EXT; what to do if behavior is maintained by sensory consequences

Front 41

contingent presentation / withdrawl of a stimulus immediately following a response, which decreases the future probability of response

Back 41

punishment
