WGU D001 BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT STRATEGIES
FOR K-12 LEARNERS WITH MILD TO MODERATE
EXCEPTIONALITIES
goal setting - ANSWERS-process through which students, in collaboration with
teachers or other adults, are encouraged to participate in choosing goals they
wish to achieve
group designs - ANSWERS-Experimental investigations that focus on data related
to a number of individuals.
handheld technology - ANSWERS-A variety of portable electronic devices with
many educational applications. Including, but not limited to, video and audio
recording and listening devices, personal digital assistants, portable electronic
keyboards, digital cameras, smart phones.
humane - ANSWERS-Marked by consideration for others. In education, providing
a safe, comfortable environment, treating all individuals with respect, and
providing effective interventions.
independent variable - ANSWERS-The treatment or intervention that the
experimenter manipulates in order to change a behavior.
individualized education program (IEP) - ANSWERS-A written educational plan
developed for every school-aged student eligible for special education services.
,informed consent - ANSWERS-A legal term meaning that the parents (or
surrogates) and the student, if appropriate, have been fully informed, in their
native language or other mode of communication, of all information relevant to
the activity for which consent is sought and have agreed to the activity.
initial behavior - ANSWERS-A behavior that resembles the terminal behavior (the
ultimate goal of the intervention) along some significant dimension and that the
student is already capable of performing (used with shaping).
intermediate behavior - ANSWERS-Behaviors that represent successive
approximations toward the terminal behavior (used with shaping).
intermittent schedules - ANSWERS-Schedules in which reinforcement follows
some, but not all, correct or appropriate responses or follows when a period of
appropriate behavior has elapsed. These schedules include ratio, interval, and
response-duration schedules.
interval recording - ANSWERS-An observational recording system in which an
observation period is divided into a number of short intervals. The observer
counts the number of intervals when the behavior occurs rather than instances of
the behavior.
interval schedules - ANSWERS-Schedules for the delivery of reinforcers contingent
on the occurrence of a behavior following a specified period or interval of time. In
a fixed-interval (FI) schedule, the interval of time is standard. For example, FI5
would reinforce the first occurrence of behavior following each 5-minute interval
, of the observation period. In a variable-interval (VI) schedule, the interval of time
varies. For example, VI5 would reinforce the first response that occurs after
intervals averaging 5 minutes.
intervention - ANSWERS-Any change in a person's environment that is designed to
change that person's behavior.
lag schedule of reinforcement - ANSWERS-A reinforcement schedule designed to
encourage variability of responding. A response is reinforced under a lag schedule
if it differs from a specified number of previous responses.
latency recording - ANSWERS-Recording the amount of time between the
presentation of the SD and the initiation of a response.
lawful behavior - ANSWERS-Behavior that can be predicted by knowledge of
antecedent events and a history of reinforcement.
AB design - ANSWERS-A single subject research design that contains one baseline
(A) and one treatment (B).
ABAB design (reversal design) - ANSWERS-An extension of the AB design in which
the independent variable is withdrawn and then reapplied. This reversal design
can demonstrate a functional relation between dependent and independent
variables.
