List the Scheduling Reinforcement. - correct answer - Fixed Ratio
- Fixed Interval
- Variable Ratio
- Variable Interval
Define Fixed Ratio. - correct answer (Set responses): The number of times an action must be done in
order to receive an award.
FR2 (Fixed Ratio of 2) - correct answer A fixed ratio schedule of 2 means reinforcement is delivered after
every 2 correct responses. (Go up 1 or down 1)
Define Fixed Interval. - correct answer (Set time): the first response is rewarded only after a specified
amount of time has elapsed.
FI2 (Fixed Interval of 2) - correct answer A fixed interval of 2 means a response is reinforced only after 2
minutes has elapsed.
Define Variable Ratio. - correct answer (Average response): a response is reinforced after an
unpredictable/random number of responses. (Go up 1 or Go Down 1).
VR3 (Variable Ratio of 3) - correct answer A variable Ratio of 3 means reinforcement will be delivered
either at the 2nd response, 4th response, and the 3rd response.
Define Variable. - correct answer Average
, Define Fixed. - correct answer Set
Define Interval. - correct answer Time
Define Ratio. - correct answer Response
Naturalistic Environment Teaching - correct answer A strategy used within ABA therapy that focuses on
teaching skills in the natural context where they would typically be used.
List Chaining. - correct answer - Forward Chaining
- Backward's Chaining
- Total Task Analysis
Define Forward Chaining. - correct answer Teaching the sequence beginning with the first step.
The learner is initially taught the first step of the complex skill. Once that step is mastered, subsequent
steps are gradually introduced.
Independent (least to most prompt) the proceed with full physical.
Define Backward Chaining. - correct answer Provide full physical help then allow the last step to be
independently done by a child. If needed (least to most prompting/ full physical).
Total Task Analysis - correct answer A breakdown of a complex behavior into small, teachable units that
establish a behavior chain
