✔✔Replacement Behavior Interventions - ✔✔Eliminating reinforcement for a problem bx
while reinforcing a replacement bx.
✔✔Types of replacement Behavior interventions - ✔✔Differential reinforcement of other
behavior (DRO)
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)
Differential reinforcement of low rates of behavior (DRL)
✔✔Types of time out - ✔✔Non exclusionary
Exclusionary
Seclusionary
✔✔Autism - ✔✔Characterized by impairment in ability to form normal social
relationships, impairment in ability to communicate with others, and repetitive behavior
patterns
✔✔3 types of functional behavior assessment - ✔✔1. Indirect
2. Descriptive
3. Experimental functional analyses
, ✔✔Types of reinforcement - ✔✔Positive, negative, automatic
✔✔Automatic reinforcement - ✔✔Behavior itself produces the reinforcement
✔✔Automatic Positive Reinforcement - ✔✔The bx is reinforcing on its own, b/c it
produces a sight, sound, taste, feel, smell, or motion that the child enjoys. Often
maintains stereotypical bx.
✔✔Examples of social positive reinforcement - ✔✔Attention, access to tangibles
✔✔Examples of automatic negative reinforcement - ✔✔Relief from a painful stimulus,
escape from aversive sensory stimulus
✔✔Socially Mediated Reinforcement - ✔✔Reinforcer is provided by another person
✔✔Examples of automatic positive reinforcement - ✔✔Reinforcing sensory stimuli, self-
stimulatory bx
✔✔Examples of social negative reinforcement - ✔✔Escape from demands, escape from
aversive setting, escape from sensory stimuli
✔✔Attention Function (of behavior) - ✔✔Whether it be positive or negative attention,
behavior occurs b/c some type of attention is given
✔✔Escape Function (of behavior) - ✔✔Escape from demands or tasks being placed on
them
✔✔2 goals of behavior management - ✔✔1. Reduce problem behavior
2. Build alternative appropriate behaviors that serve the same function
✔✔4 basic functions of behavior - ✔✔1. Social positive
2. Social negative
3. Automatic positive
4. Automatic negative
✔✔Behavior Deficits in Individuals with Autism - ✔✔Language, play, social skills,
perspective taking/theory of mind, executive function, motor skills, self-help, school
skills
✔✔Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity - ✔✔Ranging from abnormal social approach
and failure of normal back-and-forth convo.; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions,
or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions.
