Solutions Graded A+
Rule-governance - Answer: o A rule specifies a contingency
o It may evoke or abate behavior without the behavior having to directly experience the contingency
Organizational behavior management (OBM) - Answer: o A sub-discipline of ABA, which is the
application of the science of behavior
o Guided by the single theory of human behavior and has historically emphasized identification and
modification of the environmental variables that affect directly observable or verifiable employee
performance
Components of OBM - Answer: o Performance management (PM)
o Behavior systems analysis (BSA)
o Behavior-based safety (BBS)
o Pay for performance
Performance management - Answer: The management of an individual employee or a group of
employees through the application of behavior principles
Interventions used in PM - Answer: o Goal setting
o Feedback
o Job aids
o Token systems
,o Lottery systems
Behavior - Answer: Anything a living organism does
Result - Answer: What is left after a behavior
Clinical tasks - Answer: Implementing behavior plans, collecting data, implementing emergency
procedures
Variables affecting performance - Answer: o Antecedents
o Equipment and processes
o Knowledge and skills
o Consequences
Performance monitoring - Answer: o Procedural integrity (IV integrity)
o Monitoring effectiveness of behavior plan (DV integrity)
Problems with conducting monitoring - Answer: o Monitoring is hidden
o Staff don't know why they are being monitored
o Monitoring is done impolitely
o Results of monitoring are not shared
Incorrect use of monitoring data - Answer: Used primarily for punishment, typically delayed punishment
What to do with data - Answer: o Reinforcement and corrective feedback for the staff member
o Minimum of 4:1 instances of reinforcement to corrective feedback
o Reinforcement every chance
Why data collection doesn't sustain - Answer: o Problematic definitions
,o Unclear roles
o Insufficient materials
o Insufficient training
o Complexity of intervention
o Failure to generalize
o Competing contingencies
o Staff dissatisfaction
Types of integrity - Answer: o Observation
o Permanent product
o Self-report
Steps to effective performance monitoring - Answer: o Pinpoint- Specify what it is the staff are supposed
to be doing
o Develop a tool that contains each component
o The observer collects data as the staff
implements a behavior plan
o Determine if the staff meets a specified level of criteria
o Often the target behavior can be collected simultaneously
Pinpoints - Answer: o Observable
o Measureable
o Reliable
Develop a tool - Answer: o Create a data sheet
o Designate space for identifying information
o List the key components for successful implementation and make room to note
o Have a space to take notes
, How often to monitor - Answer: o 80% agreement for most plans
o At least once per week
Increase monitoring if - Answer: o Data is being collected on a vital skill/dangerous problem behavior
o New plan
o Problems are noticed
When collecting data on deceleration - Answer: o Arrange observations when problem behavior is most
likely
o More worried about low agreement
o Integrity is more important in some procedures as opposed to others
Reactivity - Answer: A change in behavior when being observed
Reducing reactivity - Answer: o Monitor frequently
o Self-monitoring
o Monitoring results
o Covert monitoring
o Using reactivity to your advantage
Reasons for selecting target behavior - Answer: o Helps individual achieve outcomes.
o Behavior deficit makes the person too
dependent on others.
Problems with behavior - Answer: o Can't Do: Skill Deficit
o Problem with strength
o Won't do
o Does, but only under limited circumstances
o Does at the wrong time or in the wrong place
