Operational Definition - ANSWER-What does the behavior look
like, what happens exactly, what does it sound like?
4 Functions of Behavior - ANSWER-SEAT
1. Sensory
2. Escape/Avoidance
3. Attention
4. Tangible
Sensory Function - ANSWER-One of the four functions of
behavior in which an individual tries to gain sensory output.
Individuals behave a certain way because it feels good to them.
Automatic Reinforcement - ANSWER-(AKA self-stimming) The
behavior itself is reinforcing and is not dependent on social
interaction or receiving a tangible item.
Escape/Avoidance Function - ANSWER-A function of behavior to
escape or avoid having to do something.
,Natural Environment Training (NET) - ANSWER-Is loosely
structured, and uses or contrives a leaner's motivation and
activities and not an exclusively teacherselected set of
materials, as the basis for the lesson.
Often used to teach child to mand or request.
Verbal Behavior - ANSWER-Behavior that is reinforced through
the mediation of another person's behavior.
Involves a social interaction between speakers and
listeners. Listener reinforces the speaker.
Mand, Tact, Echoic, Intraverbal, Textual, Transcription -
ANSWER-6 Elementary Verbal Operants
Mand - ANSWER-Short for demand, command or reprimand.
A type of verbal operant in which a speaker asks for (or states,
demands, implies, etc.) what he needs or wants.
Only type of verbal operant that directly benefits the speaker b/c
the mand allows the speaker to receive reinforcers.
Tact - ANSWER-Short for contact.
A type of verbal operant in which speaker names things and
actions that the speaker had direct contact with through any of
the sense modes.
,Echoic - ANSWER-A type of verbal operant that occurs when a
speaker repeats the verbal behavior of another speaker.
Occurs in response to other verbal behavior.
Listener is "echoing" what they hear.
Intraverbal - ANSWER-A type of verbal operant in which a
speaker differentially responds to the verbal behavior of others.
- Conversation
- Answering questions
- Filling in the blank
Textual - ANSWER-Reading written words.
(i.e. A child says shoe because the word "shoe" is written)
Transcription - ANSWER-Writing and spelling words that are
spoken.
(i.e. A child writes "shoe" because they hear the word "shoe")
Generalization - ANSWER-When the effort of reinforcement is
extended beyond the conditions in which the training has taken
place or to behaviors other than those included in training.
Stimulus Generalization - ANSWER-Generalization or transfer of
a response to situations other than those in which the training
takes place.
, It has taken place if a response reinforced in one stimulus
setting also increases in other stimulus settings.
Across people: The learner's ability to respond to people other
than those involved in the original teaching
Across environments: The learner's ability to respond in
different locations other than the "table and chair"
(i.e. responds to different SD's for same behavior like "sit here",
"sit down", "have a seat")
Response Generalization - ANSWER-The changes in behaviors
or responses other than those that have been trained or
developed.
(i.e. you teach a child to put away toys following the SD "clean
up" and the child also begins to throw away garbage and put
books on the shelf)
Maintenance - ANSWER-Refers to maintaining responses over
time.
So something leaned at time 1 would also be evident at times 2,
3 and 4.
Implement Generalization and Maintenance Procedures -
ANSWER-Start by slowly fading prompts and using natural
reinforcement contingencies; use multiple settings, people and
stimuli; train loosely and use random rotation; use variable
