ABA FLUENCY EXAM LATEST UPDATED
Reinforcement - ANSWER strengthens or increases behaviour
positive reinforcement - ANSWER something is added; increases
behaviour
negative reinforcement - ANSWER something removed; increased
behaviour
primary reinforcers - ANSWER biological; air, food, water
secondary reinforcers - ANSWER learned; favourite candy, movie,
praise, etc.
punishment - ANSWER decreases future display of behaviour
positive punisher - ANSWER something added; decreases behaviour
negative punisher - ANSWER something removed; decreases behaviour
3 term contingency - ANSWER ABC; antecedent - behaviour -
consequence
behavioural function - ANSWER idea behaviour occurs for a reason
(escape or gain)
antecedent - ANSWER immediately before behaviour
behaviour - ANSWER measurable, observable; movement of some part
consequence - ANSWER A stimulus change that follows a behaviour of
interest.
,environment - ANSWER conglomerate of real circumstances; behaviour
cannot occur in the absence of
repertoire - ANSWER all behaviours a person can do
operant conditioning - ANSWER operant learning occurs; consequences
result in an increased or decreased frequency
stimulus class - ANSWER share specified common elements along
formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions (e.g. dogs, houses, cars)
discriminative stimuli (Sd) - ANSWER type of antecedent that triggers
behaviour with history of being reinforced
habituation - ANSWER decrease in responsiveness to repeated
presentation of stimulus
operant behaviour - ANSWER behaviour that operates on environment,
controllable by the individual
ontogeny - ANSWER history of development of individual during its
lifetime
phylogeny - ANSWER history of natural evolution of species
reflex - ANSWER stimulus to response; consists of antecedent and
respondent's behaviour
respondent behaviour - ANSWER response component of reflex; elicited
by antecedent stimuli
response - ANSWER single instance of occurrence of class or type of
behaviour
response class - ANSWER group of responses; varying topography;
producing same results
, respondent conditioning - ANSWER stimulus to stimulus pairing; neutral
stimulus becomes conditioned (Pavlov)
automaticity (of reinforcement) - ANSWER behaviour is modified by its
consequences irrespective of the person's awareness
unconditioned stimulus (US) - ANSWER stimulus component of
unconditioned reflex; elicits respondent behaviour without prior learning
stimulus - ANSWER energy change that affects an organism through
receptor cells
socially mediated contingency (reinforcement) - ANSWER contingency
which antecedent stimulus and/or consequence for behaviour is
presented by another person
selectionism - ANSWER theory that life evolves as result of interaction
between function and survival value of function
applied - ANSWER deals with a problem of social importance/social
significance
conceptual - ANSWER based on a specific theory
effective - ANSWER produces robust and important effects
technological - ANSWER described so it can be replicated by others
behavioural - ANSWER observed and measured
analytic - ANSWER data-based
generality - ANSWER operates in new environments; continues after
formal treatment ends
7 dimensions of ABA - ANSWER GET A CAB - generality, effective,
technological, analytic, conceptual, applied, behavioural
