ABC Narrative Recording - ANSWER-data are collected only when behaviors of interest are observed; recording is open ended scatterplot recording - ANSWER-A procedure for recording the extent to which a target behavior occurs more often at particular times than others; involves dividing the day into blocks of time, and using different symbols on an observation form to indicate the level of the target behavior (e.g., a lot, some, or not at all). Primary advantage of scatterplot recording - ANSWER-identify time periods during which the problem behavior occurs. Can we control behavior - ANSWER-No, we cannot, but we can manipulate environmental factors surrounding the behavior an we can control units of behavior: we can control responses, and we can predict choice. Purpose of a functional anslysis - ANSWER-the ability to yield a clear demonstaration of the variable or variables(function) that influence the occurence of a problem behavior repetition - ANSWER-In ABA therapy, one of the principles is to repeat things the same way each time so the child has a better chance to learn the skill correctly, but in developmental approaches we observe that children don't tend to adapt to new situations with the new skills Brief Functional Analysis - ANSWER-Conducting a functional analysis in a short period of time. Each condition is run for 5-10 mins. Each condition, except alone, must include an MO & SD that signal reinforcement is available. Trial Based Functional Analysis - ANSWER-An analysis in which a series of trials is interspersed among classroom activities. Each trial consists of two 1-minute components: (a) the establishing operation and contingency for problem behavior (test condition), and (b) continuous access to the reinforcer (control condition). Synthesized Functional Analysis - ANSWER-in the test condition mutliple contingencies are implemented simultanesouly when the problem behavior is demonstrated. in the control condition the same reinforcers are presented noncontingently and continously. latency-based functional analysis - ANSWER-An analysis in which each session is terminated as soon as a problem behavior occurs. The index of problem behavior is the latency from onset of the establishing operation to the first occurrence of the problem behavior. functional analysis of precursors - ANSWER-Conduct the functional analysis on a behavior that reliably precedes the target behavior. verification - ANSWER-is showing that dependent variables (DVs) would not change without intervention (independent variables: IVs). prediciton - ANSWER-involves anticipating what you think will happen in the future. replication - ANSWER-involves taking away the intervention, reintroducing it, and obtaining similar outcomes. Determinism - ANSWER-the philosophy that holds that every event, action, and decision results from something independent of the human will( the world is a lawlfully and orderly place)
