Mock BCBA EXAM #1Determinism - -Cause and Effect, Lawfulness: If/Then statements. The world
is orderly and predicable.
-Latency - -The time between an SD and the response: "Bryson get your
shoes on (SD) - Bryson initiating getting his shoes on" The time from a
reinforcer to the next response is a latency and not an IRT, even if the
reinforcer is response-produced.
-Inner Response Time - -The time from the start of one response (behavior)
to the start of the next response (behavior). The time between two
responses.
-3 Branches of Behavior Analysis - -1) Behaviorism 2) Experimental Analysis
of Behavior 3) Applied Behavior Analysis
-Behaviorism - -Behaviorism is the philosophy and theory of behavioral
science, widely recognized due to the work of John B. Watson. Behaviorism
was the predominate model in psychology from the early to mid 1900's and
is based on the principle that psychology should be seen as a science. He
argued that behavior is observable and should be objectively and
scientifically measured. Watson was primarily concerned with the
relationship between observable behaviors and environmental events rather
than on internal processes.
-Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - -the intensive study, under
controlled conditions, of how environmental stimuli and consequences
regulate an individual organism's behavior.This is operant behavior, behavior
that is based on the consequences of that behavior. The creation of EAB
showed that the environment creates learned behaviors and has a functional
relation. It also allowed scientists to manipulate the environment in order to
increase or decrease an operant behavior. The theory of EAB was a result
Skinners findings of the S-R-S model or three-term contingency.
-ABA - -Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific-based field of study that
uses behaviorism as its philosophy and aims to improve socially significant
behaviors through experimentation. ABA is an applied science that develops
methods of changing behavior, and also, a profession that provides services
to meet diverse behavioral needs.
-resistance to extinction - -Behavior that continues responding during the
implementation of an extinction procedure.
, -Ordinate - -y-axis on a graph, Vertical
-abscissa - -x-axis (horizontal)
-Exclusionary Time out - -Individual removed from space.
3 Types: (RPH)
1. Room/Time-Out Room
2. Partition Time-Out
3. Hallway Time-Out
-Permant product recording - -Recording tangible items or environmental
effects that result from a behavior, for example, written academic work (also
called outcome recording).
-DRL - -Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Behaviors. Reinforcement
schedule that is used to decrease the rate of behaviors that occur too
frequently but should be maintained in the learner's repertoire
-DRH - -Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Behaviors. Reinforcer is
delivered for more than a fixed number of responses in a time period -or-
Reinforcer is delivered after an IRT less than some criterion amount of time.
Used to increase behavior. A particular reinforcement schedule in which
reinforcement is delivered for rates of responding ABOVE a specified
predetermined criterion (based on the individual's performance in previous
intervals). (e.g., more than three responses per 5 minutes).
-Discontinuous Measurement - -measurement conducted in a manner such
that some instances of the response class(es) of interest may not be
detected
Whole Interval
Partial Interval
Momentary Time Sampling
-Whole Interval Recording - -involves checking off the interval if the
behavior occurs throughout the WHOLE interval. Use when it is difficult to tell
when the behavior begins or ends, when it occurs at such a high rate it is
difficult to keep count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this
method to increase behavior. Underestimates behavior
-Partial Interval Recording - -involves checking off an interval if the behavior
occurs at ANY point within the interval - even if it only occurred for 1 second.
You can use this for self-stimulatory behaviors or behaviors that don't look
the same every time. An over exaggeration of the behavior, you use this
