EXAM 1 EDF 6226 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS 2025/2026 GRADED A+ BEST FOR REVISION.

1. Four phases of intervention model: Assessment Planning Implementation Evaluation 2. 5 phases of assessment: - Screening -Defining problems or criteria for achievement -Pinpointing target behaviors -Monitoring progress -Following up 3. Indirect measures: Interviews Checklists 4. Direct measures: tests and direct observation 5. direct observation: direct and repeated, preferred method 6. Anecdotal observation: ABC recording. Recording a descriptive, temporally sequenced account of all behaviors of interest and the antecedent conditions and consequencesforthose behaviors asthose events occurin the natural environment. 7. Ecological assessment: *Recognizes the interactions of environment and be- havior *Information gathered about the person and the environment they are in - Costly 8. Reactivity: effects of assessment on behavior being assessed - obtrusive, self-monitoring 9. Reactivity is most likely: when the person being observed is aware of the observer's presence and purpose 10. operational definition: function or topography based 11. Social significance: consider whose behavior is being assessed and why 12. Habilitation: the degree to which the person's repertoire maximizes short and long term reinforcersfor that individual and for others, and minimizesshort and long term punishers 13. Behavior cusp: -behaviors that open person's world to new contingencies - crawling, reading 3 / 10 -socially valid -generativeness -competes with inappropriate responses -degree that others are affected 14. pivotal behavior: A behavior, once learned, that produces changes in other untrained behaviors. 15. function-based definition: designates according to effects on the environment 16. topography-based definition: identifies the shape or form of the behavior 17. Measurement: The process of applying quantitative labels to observed proper- ties of events using a standard set of rules. 18. repeatability: behavior can be counted 19. count: a simple tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior 20. rate: the number of responses per unit of time 21. celeration: a measure of the change in rates of responding per unit of time 22. Free operant: have discrete onset and offsets - do not depend on discriminative stimuli 23. Discrete trial: - response rates
