2 main functions of behavior

escape and gain

skinner?

focused on operant conditioning

4. technological ****

the intervention and its procedure should be written and described well so that it can be replicated by other people and produce similar results.

3. analytic

the intervention must demonstrate that it can cause a change in the behavior

how do you know something is a behavior?

when someone is DOING something and not just BEING some way. also, it is observable and measurable.

what is operant conditioning?

where behavior is reinforced by consequences

where is ABA used the most in the real world? and what's the second highest?

- highest with children with autism - 2nd highest is in education

what are the 7 dimensions of ABA interventions? what are the 7 things interventions have to consist of?

1. applied 2. behavioral 3. analytic 4. technological 5. conceptual 6. effective 7. generality

what is two other words that you can use to describe what an antecedent is? and why?????

1. stimuli 2. discriminative stimuli these things TRIGGER someone's response/ behavior

what is the 3 term contingency?

ABC = Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

Which of the following is an example of punishment? a. After a student got scolded in the hallway for making noises in class, he quit making noises in class. b.

A student got out of doing classwork due to his disruptive behavior.

a. punishment

the work of pavlov and his classical conditioning showed that a. reflexive response to stimuli could be trained b. rats would press a lever until they were full c.individuals always behaved in a logical manner. d. dogs would not respond to auditory cues.

b. Behavior is neutral.

Punishment has occurred when the behavior it followed: a. Maintains b. Decreases c. increases d. Generalizes

b. Decreases

The 2 main functions of behavior are: a. Control and attention b. Escape and gain c. Escape and sensory d. Gain and control

b. Escape and gain

Which of the following is an explanation of the "Dead Man's Test"? a. If a dead man can do it, then it is a behavior. b. If a dead man cannot do it, then it is a behavior. c. If a dead man once did it, then it is a behavior. d. If a dead man can do it, then it might be a behavior.

b. If a dead man cannot do it, then it is a behavior.

Which of the following is true about reinforcement? a. Most individuals find the same things reinforcing. b. What one individual finds reinforcing may not be true for others. c. Individuals will work to avoid punishment. d. The same reinforcers work for the same individuals all the time.

b. What one individual finds reinforcing may not be true for others.

what can be said regarding the 7 dimensions of ABA and interventions based on ABA? a. interventions may/ may not have the dimensions in order to be considered behavior analytic. b. interventions must have all dimensions to be considered behavior analytic. c. interventions must have at least 5 of the 7 dimensions in order to be behavior analytic d. interventions do not actually have any of the dimensions in order to be considered behavior analytic.

b. interventions must have all dimensions to be considered behavior analytic.

what was thorndike's stance on behaviors

behavior is voluntary and not just always reflexes.

In studying problem solving behavior in kittens, Thorndike used which term to describe behaviors they displayed to escape an enclosure by pulling a string on a latch? a. Operant conditioning b. Classical conditioning c. Instrumental behavior d. Inappropriate behhavior

c. Instrumental behavior

Which of the following statements is true about reinforcement? a. It decreases a behavior. b. It decreases a reaction to a stimulus. c. It increases a behavior. d. It increases dependency.

c. It increases a behavior.

Antecedents are: a. What happens during a behavior b. What happens after a behavior occurs c. What happens before a behavior occurso d. What happens to reinforce a behavior

c. What happens before a behavior occurso

skinner's work in establishing a relationship between pressing a lever and alleviation of hunger led to the term_____ which serves as a basis of most behavior analytic work today a. classical conditioning b. technological conditioning c. operant conditioning d. over conditioning

c. operant conditioning

which of the following always strengthen a behavior? a. punishment b. aba c. reinforcement d. chocolate candy

c. reinforcement

The doctrine of "least restrictive alternative" when it comes to punishment states that: a. Punishment is a first line of intervention. b. Punishment is a preferred and effective treatment. c. Punishment is a necessary treatment in most cases. d. Punishment is a last resort after other interventions have been attempted and failed.

d. Punishment is a last resort after other interventions have been attempted and failed.

what does the term behaviorism entail?

data must be observable and measurable

2. behavioral

during the intervention, the behavior/ data collect on that behavior has to be observable and measurable!

john waston

he termed the term behaviorism

thorndike and who was he

he tested how animals do things for a specific purpose/ to accomplish something. where the rats would pull a string for a latch to escape the cage. the rates LEARNED to adapt to the caged environment and voluntarily would pull the string to get out of the cage.

example of skinner's experiment

he tested rats that would press a lever in order to be reinforced with being fed food!

what was the main idea of the conditioning of pavlov about reflexes?

his experiment showed they reflexes can be conditioned.

where else is ABA used in ?

in business, healthcare (organization behavioral management where you work to increase safe practices in environments and in hospitals to reduce the spread of infections), geriatrics (old people), school

what was the term he came up with that has to do with his experiment on the rat?

instrumental behavior

7. generality

intervention has to allow the child to be able to implement their behavior in new enviornments.

6. effective

intervention must be effective and produce important effects.

1. applied

interventions in ABA have to be applicable to a problem that is very important in the social world.

5. conceptual

interventions must be based on a concept of theories and not just random ideas.
