What is automatic reinforcement?
✔✔ Reinforcement that occurs independent of social mediation by others, such as sensory
stimulation.
How does a practitioner implement "differential reinforcement of other behavior" (DRO)?
✔✔ By reinforcing the absence of a target behavior during a specific time period.
What is the "Premack Principle" in ABA?
✔✔ A principle that uses a high-probability behavior to reinforce a low-probability behavior.
What does "response cost" mean in ABA interventions?
✔✔ The removal of a specific amount of reinforcement contingent on an undesirable behavior.
How does "noncontingent reinforcement" (NCR) work?
1
,✔✔ Reinforcement is delivered on a fixed or variable time schedule, independent of the
individual’s behavior.
What is the purpose of "stimulus fading"?
✔✔ Gradually removing prompts or modifications that help the individual respond correctly,
encouraging independent behavior.
What is "behavioral momentum"?
✔✔ The tendency for a behavior to persist when a high-probability behavior is followed by a
low-probability behavior.
What does "intraverbal behavior" refer to?
✔✔ Verbal behavior that is a response to the verbal behavior of others, such as answering a
question.
How does a practitioner use "interdependent group contingencies"?
✔✔ Reinforcement is provided to a group only if all group members meet a specific criterion.
What is a "motivating operation" (MO) in behavior analysis?
2
,✔✔ An environmental event that alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer and the frequency of
behavior associated with that reinforcer.
What does "functional communication training" (FCT) involve?
✔✔ Teaching individuals alternative, appropriate ways to communicate their needs rather than
using challenging behaviors.
What is "stimulus generalization" in ABA?
✔✔ The tendency for a response to occur in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the
original SD.
How does "behavioral contrast" manifest in behavior change?
✔✔ When a change in behavior occurs in one environment but is followed by an opposite
change in behavior in another environment.
What does "response latency" measure?
✔✔ The amount of time between the presentation of a stimulus and the initiation of a response.
What is "matching law" in behavioral science?
3
, ✔✔ The principle that an individual’s behavior is distributed among available reinforcement
options in proportion to the rates of reinforcement for each option.
What is "rule-governed behavior"?
✔✔ Behavior that is controlled by verbal statements about contingencies, rather than by direct
contact with the contingencies.
What does "counterconditioning" refer to in ABA?
✔✔ A technique where an undesirable conditioned response is replaced with a more desirable
response by associating the stimulus with a new outcome.
What is the "token economy" system in ABA?
✔✔ A reinforcement system where tokens are earned for appropriate behaviors and later
exchanged for preferred items or activities.
How does "shaping" help in behavior modification?
✔✔ Reinforcing successive approximations toward a target behavior until the desired behavior is
achieved.
