5.Amplitude/intensity
7 Dimensions of ABA 1. Applied
2.Behavioral
3.Analytic
4.Technological
5.Conceptual systems
6.Effective
7. Generality
Anecdotal data A method of descriptively recording the behavior emitted by the
learner, the response of others, and information about the environment.
Antecedent What occurs before the behavior that then influences behavior - an
environment or a stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a
behavior of interest.
Antecedent Behavior Consequence Data (ABC data) a combination of information about what happens before,
during and after a behavior. A form of continuous measurement.
, Applied Behavior Analysis The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are
applied systematically to improve socially significant behavior and
experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for
behavior change.
Assessment Method Preference Assessment Presenting objects and activities systematically to the individual to
reveal a hierarchy or ranking of preference
1. Single item/single stimulus
2.Forced choice
3.Multiple choice
- Multiple choice with replacement
- Multiple choice without replacement
Assist Training Stakeholders RBT can assist with training stakeholders by giving them instruction,
modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with regard to behavioral skills
training.
Attention Function A function of behavior in which the individual is reinforced by receiving
attention from others.
Automatic Reinforcement The behavior itself is reinforcing and is not dependent on social
interaction or receiving a tangible item.
Backward Chaining Training begins the link with the last behavior in the sequence. Trainer
performs all but the last step until learner masters the last two steps and
so on.
Backward chaining with leaps ahead Follow the same procedure as backward chaining but not every step in
the task analysis is trained.
Baseline Data Data taken before an intervention takes place. Describes the existing
level of performance.
Behavior An activity of living organisms
- What an individual does (how they respond in the situation)
- It is observable and measurable
Block Trials Repeatedly asking for an item for a designated number of trials, and
then moving to another item for the same number of trials.
Caregiver Interview Preference Involves obtaining information from the individual's parents, friends and
teachers about what the individual likes/prefers.
Chaining A specific sequence of discrete responses, each associated with a
particular stimulus condition.
Client Dignity Be respectful and thoughtful about the client's needs and wants.
- never do or say something in front of your client that you would not if
working with a typical developing child.
Communication Communication with stakeholders as authorized.
- Follow protocol of how to communicate
- Communicate effectively with all team members.
