Applied Behavior Analysis is used to define the systematic methods employed for
behavior change taught in this course
Extinction is the elimination of a behavior resulting from the application of aversive
procedures.
Effective rules describe observable behaviors.
Generalized reinforcers may be exchangeable for something of value.
page-pf2
A prompted response is NOT under stimulus control.
It is unethical to eliminate a behavior if an individual lacks an alternative behavior to
serve that behavior's function.
Developmental theories verify and prove that inappropriate and maladaptive behavior
can be explained by a failure to reach or pass a particular stage.
A complex behavior may be learned by reinforcing individual responses occurring in a
page-pf3
sequence. This instructional procedure is called antecedent prompting.
The function of inappropriate behavior represented in the alone condition is to gain
positive reinforcement.
Teacher characteristics are not important in establishing an effective classroom and
instruction.
When replacing an inappropriate behavior with one that is appropriate, the new
behavior must serve the same function as the old.
page-pf4
Self determined contingencies and teacher determined contingencies can be equally
effective in producing behavior change.
Interval and time sampling data are reported as number or percent of total intervals
during which a behavior occurs.
Cumulative graphs always demonstrate an upward curve if any behavior at all is being
recorded.
page-pf5
Self-punishment is more effective that self-reinforcement.
An advantage of transferring behavior management from the teacher to the student is
that the student becomes more independent.
Behaviors that are voluntary in nature rather than reflexive are usually associated with
operant conditioning.
Functional skills are more prone to be maintained by the natural environment.
page-pf6
Interval recording is typically used for long observation periods.
It is unethical to exclude any student from the regular classroom regardless of its
positive or negative effects.
In mediating generalization, students are taught to monitor and report their own
generalization of appropriate behavior.
Token reinforcement systems require two components: tokens and back up reinforcers.
page-pf7
A reinforcer that has been associated with a variety of behaviors or with access to a
variety of other reinforcers is known as an activity reinforcer.
Stimulus control is the term used by applied behavior analysts to describe bringing
behavior under control of time, place, and circumstances.
On a cumulative graph, data points are plotted at the appropriate intersections without
regard to performance during the previous session.
page-pf8
With the changing criterion design, a functional relation is demonstrated if the
individual's performance level occasionally matches the continually changing criterion
for performance.
At Bloom's learning level of analysis, the student should demonstrate the ability to
bring parts together resulting in a different, original, or creative whole.
A multiple baseline design is appropriate to use when the target behavior calls for
immediate action.
page-pf9
A student is told that she has to sit and watch for minutes due to acting inappropriately.
This is an example of nonexclusionary time-out.
The function of inappropriate behavior represented in the demand condition is negative
reinforcement.
Gestalt psychology's emphasizes humans imposing structure on their environment and
seeing relationships rather than individual objects or events as separate entities.
Under the play condition of behavior, instances of inappropriate behavior is minimal or
nonexistent for a student.
page-pfa
Providing oneself with verbal prompts is called self instruction.
Token reinforcement systems allow a student to become accustomed to delayed
gratification.
Negative reinforcement is the contingent removal of some unpleasant stimulus that
increases behavior.
page-pfb
A traffic ticket for speeding is an example of an independent variable.
One way of using visual inspection for evaluating single subject designs is by looking
at the means of the data phases.
It is not ethical to assure parents that if a procedure is used, their child will no longer
require placement in a special class.
