__________ is commonly referred to as behavioral momentum - ANSWER-High-
probability, low- probability sequence
"Analytic" refers to - ANSWER-Functional Relation
• there was an experimental control that is likely caused by the intervention or
arrangement of environmental events
• replicable
"Applied" refers to - ANSWER-Social Significance
• don't change behavior if it doesn't make participants life better
"Conceptually Systematic" refers to - ANSWER-• interventions come from the behavior
analyst
• enables consumer to derive similar procedures
• assists in integrating a system, and not a collection of tips
"Effective" refers to - ANSWER-• "did it work?"
• produces practical results
• must reach clinical or social significance
• noticeable change
"Generalized" refers to - ANSWER-When a behavior proves durable overtime in a
variety of environments, or spreads to a variety of behaviors
"Technological" refers to - ANSWER-Repeatability
• written descriptions of all procedure to sufficiently replicate

5. Conceptual Systems
, 6. Effective
7. Generality
A discriminative stimulus signals the store is open for - ANSWER-reinforcement
Abolishing Operation - ANSWER-Abolishes the effectiveness of a particular form of
reinforcement or punishment
Antecedent - ANSWER-A stimulus or event that occurred in a persons environment
immediately before a behavior
antecedent modifications - ANSWER-Changing some aspects of the learners
environment to prevent challenging behaviors
ASD replaced what 3 previous disorders? - ANSWER-• Autistic disorder
• Aspergers
• Not otherwise specified
Attention functions - ANSWER-Are behaviors that continue to occur because they help
an individual get attention from others , a form of positive reinforcement
Automatic Positive Reinforcement depends on the actions of others - ANSWER-False
Behavior - ANSWER-Anything a person says or does a.k.a response
behavior emergency - ANSWER-An episode of behavior that represents a clear danger
to the learner or other
Celeration - ANSWER-a measure of how rates of responding change over time
Common automatically reinforced behaviors - ANSWER-Include behaviors that produce
visual stimulation such as gazing at ceiling fans, turning light switches on and off,
flapping hands, etc
Comprehensive Treatment - ANSWER-Treatment in which learners receive 25-40 hours
of one on on treatment and designed to address all major areas of skill deficits and all
challenging behaviors that an individual has.
Consequence - ANSWER-A stimulus that occurs in a persons environment immediately
following a behavior
Continuous Measurement - ANSWER-Records all of the behavior as it actually occurs
during an observation.
Dimensions of Behavioral: - ANSWER-• observable and measurable responses
• precise definition that describes behavior and NOT the outcome
