ABA 503 SAFMEDS Chapters 13 & 14
A branch of bx analysis that uses bx principles to solve practical problems (i.e. problems w/
social significance) - ANS-applied behavior analysis
The length time for which a new bx persists after the original contingencies have been removed.
- ANS-behavior maintenance
The teaching of new bx that, once established is "trapped" by natural contingencies of
reinforcement, the contingencies of everyday life. - ANS-behavior trapping
A bx plan of action that is negotiated btw a client, a child, or a partner and concerned others and
objectively specifies what is expected of the person in terms of bx and the consequences that
follow. - ANS-behavioral contract
A measure of bx change that denotes either increases (acceleration) or decreases
(deceleration) in rates of bx across days (rate/time). - ANS-celeration
A research design in which the effects of the IV are shown if the subject meet or fall below
progressively hanging criterion for rates of bx. - ANS-changing criterion design
A highly effective bx intervention that uses operant principles to arrange contingencies to
promote desired bx. - ANS-contingency management
one target bx is placed on extinction, while alternative target bx is reinforced. - ANS-differential
reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
Reinforcement for any bx other than a target operant. The target bx is on extinction and any
other bx is reinforced. - ANS-differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)
A measure of both accuracy and high frequency of responding. - ANS-fluency
When many extraneous variables are ruled out by an experimental design. That is, changes in
dependent variable may be reasonably attributed to changes in the IV. - ANS-internal validity
Biological or psychological processes that change over time. - ANS-maturation
A research design in which the effects of the IV are shown by systematically introducing the IV
across several baselines (behaviors, subjects, or settings) in a staggered manner and showing
behavior changes - ANS-multiple baseline design
