ABA Study Guide made from Quizzes 5,6,7,8 Complete Solution Comprehensive

ABA Study Guide made from Quizzes 5,6,7,8 Complete Solution Comprehensive Individualized Intensive early intervention - ANS-ABA techniques are broken down into 3 categories:

Comprehensive - ANS-refers to interventions that address a full range of life skills, from communication and sociability to self-care and readiness for school.

Early intervention - ANS-refers to programs designed to begin before age 4.

Intensive - ANS-refers to programs that total 25 to 40 hours per week for 1 to 3 years

Verbal Behavior - ANS-also known as VB, is a method of teaching language that focuses on the idea that a meaning of a word is found in their functions. The term was coined by B.F. Skinner. To teach a child with language delays a meaning of a word, one must first teach its function.

B.F Skinner - ANS-Who used analysis of Verbal Behavior or VB that's in conjunction with ABA to assess and facilitate the development of language skills?

VB or Verbal Behavior - ANS-What is still Applied Behavior Analysis but its emphasis is the functional analysis of language rather than behavior in general?

Skinner states the basic verbal parts of language include: - ANS-Echoics

Mands Tacts Intraverbals.

Echoics - ANS-Repeating what is heard or imitating what someone else has said

Mands - ANS-Asking for reinforcers that you want or requesting or demanding

Tacts - ANS-Naming or identifying objects, actions, events, etc.

Intraverbals - ANS-exchange of words between two individuals in which the exchanged words do not match conversation

Textual behavior - ANS-Skinner, 1957 is reading, without any implications that the reader understands what is being read.

Transcription - ANS-consists of writing and spelling words that are spoken Skinner, 1957

Generalization - ANS-occurs in steps three - six and prevents the child from just learning how to only expressively label something or how to only identify something among pictures and places as occurs often in ABA.

Verbal is a great approach that can be combined with other teaching methods such as Discrete Trial Training D.T.T or Natural Environment Training N.E.T? - ANS-Verbal is a great approach that can be combined with other teaching methods such as Discrete Trial Training D.T.T. or Natural Environment Training NET.

Discrete Trial Training D.T.T or Natural Environment Training N.E.T. - ANS-Verbal Behavior can be combined with what other treatment methods?

Item is considered Mastered when child knows the following - ANS-1. MAND

2. TACT

3. ECHOIC

4. INTRAVERBAL

5. RECEPTIVE

• RFFC Receptive labeling by Feature, Function, and Class

Transcription is also refered to as what? - ANS-Skinner also referred to this behavior as taking dictation, with the key repertoires involving not only the manual production of letters, but also accurate spelling of the spoken word

ABA also does what? - ANS-seeks to understand why a person is engaging in a behavior targeted for change by identifying and modifying the environmental variables that motivate, trigger and maintain behavior.

Learning - ANS-A relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience.

Ivan Pavlov - ANS-Founder of Classical Conditioning.

Classical Conditioning - ANS-Behaviors are learned by association and experiences. A form of behavioral learning in which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the power to elicit the same innate reflex produced by another stimulus.

Extinction - ANS-Process by which responses are weakened and eventually eliminated. Occurs when the response is repeatedly performed but is no longer reinforced

Spontaneous Recovery - ANS-The spontaneous return of a behavior following extinction.

The 3 major types of learning: - ANS-1.Classical Conditioning

2.Operant Conditioning 3.Cognitive learning

Classical Conditioning is used in what conditions? - ANS-a.Conditioned Emotional response C.E.R b.Phobias c.Positive emotions d.Drug Cravings e.Conditioned Taste aversions

Punishment does what two things? - ANS-a.introduces a aversive stimulus b.weakens a behavior

Negative Reinforcement does what two things? - ANS-a.removes an aversive stimulus b.strengthens a behavior

Reconditioning - ANS-The process of relearning a conditioned response after extinction.

Stimulus Generalization - ANS-Tendency of stimuli similar to the Conditioned stimulus to elicit the conditioned response.

Stimulus Discrimination - ANS-The ability to differentiate among related stimuli.

Operant Conditioning - ANS-Learning through consequences. The patterns of rewards, punishment & other consequences encourage or discourage the behaviors they follow.

B.F. Skinner - ANS-Founder of Operant Conditioning.

Thorndike's Law of Effect - ANS-States that any behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and any behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is likely to be stopped.
