-significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction
-rigidly fixated interests and repetitive behaviors.
Antecedent - ANSWER refers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to
the behavior of interest.
Consequence - ANSWER -a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
-affects only future behavior
Stimulus Control - ANSWER When behaviors are emitted more often in the presence of certain stimuli
Response - ANSWER refers to a specific instance of behavior
Extinction - ANSWER -the diminishing of a conditioned response
-occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned
stimulus (CS)
-occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
Operant Behavior - ANSWER -any behavior whose future frequency is determined primarily by its history
of consequences.
-learned behavior
, Replication - ANSWER Repeating experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of findings.
Reactivity - ANSWER -refers to the effects of an assessment procedure on the behavior being assessed
-most likely when observation is obtrusive
-person being observed is aware of the observer's presence and purpose
Relevance of Behavior Rule - ANSWER A target behavior should only be selected when it can be
determined that the behavior will produce reinforcement in the person's natural environment.
Behavior Cusp vs. Pivotal Response - ANSWER Behavior Cusp- access to new reinforcers, contingencies
and environments.
Pivotal Behavior- once learned, produces corresponding or co-variations in other adaptive UNTRAINED
behaviors.
Respondent Behavior - ANSWER -The response component of the stimulus-response reflex
-behavior that is elicited, or induced, by antecedent stimuli.
Science - ANSWER Systematic approach to the understanding of natural phenomena-as evidenced by
description, prediction and control.
Risk Factors (Autism Spectrum Disorder) - ANSWER -Intellectual disability and language impairment
-Parental age, low birth weight, fetal effects
-Heritability 37-90%
-Difficulties in planning, coping with change, sensory sensitivity
