3-term contingency - ANSWER -Also referred to as the ABC's of behavior
(antecedent-behavior-consequence). It illustrates how behavior is elicited by the
environment and how the consequences of behavior can affect its future
occurrence.
1) Antecedent- Traffic light turns red, Behavior- press foot onto the brakes,
Consequence- Car stops at intersection. 2) Antecedent- Therapist tells Sara "Say
cookie", Behavior Sara says "cookie" Consequence- Sara gets a cookie -
ANSWER -3-term contingency
,stimulus - ANSWER -Any physical object or event that has an effect on the
behavior of an individual. The stimulus can be internal (e.g. pain, hunger etc.) or
external.
The presentation of a food and the child says "I am hungry"(food is the stimulus).
The congestion the adult feels in their nose then they blow their nose (the
congestion is the stimulus). - ANSWER -stimulus
discriminative stimulus (SD) - ANSWER -Any event in the presence of which a
target behavior is likely to have consequences that affect its frequency.
"Touch the cat," "Give me red," "Where are you?," "How is the weather outside?"
- ANSWER -SD
stimulus control - ANSWER -The tendency for the target behavior to occur in the
presence of the SD but not in the presence of the S-delta. (S-delta is not on the task
list, therefore it will not be explained).
When the phone rings, you ANSWER it. (target behavior-ANSWERing the
phone) When the class bell rings in high school, the students change classes (target
behavior-changing classes). When asked "what is your favorite color?" the child
says "red" (target behavior-saying favorite color) - ANSWER -stimulus control
response - ANSWER -the specific instance of a particular behavior
When the phone rings, you ANSWER it. (response-ANSWERing the phone)
When the class bell rings in high school, the students change classes (response
changing classes). When asked "what is your favorite color?" the child says "red"
(response-saying favorite color)
Types of Responses: correct, incorrect and no response - ANSWER -response
discrete trial - ANSWER -One teaching technique used in ABA, 3-term
contingency. It has 3 components (antecedent, response, consequence). 1) "Touch
the cup." Child touches the cup. Therapist gives the child a piece of an apple. 2)
, Teacher says "Hello Donna." Donna says "Hi." Teacher smiles at Donna. 3)
Therapist says "tell me three things that are green." Child says "Grass, leaves and
grapes." Therapist says "Way to go!" - ANSWER -discrete trial
discrimination training - ANSWER -The process of reinforcing a target response
only when the target antecedent or SD is present. Teaching the client to "tell the
difference between two or more SDs."
Teaching the child to be able to tell the difference between their mom and dad in
pictures with saying "Touch mom" or "Touch dad" and the child responds
correctly. When holding up an apple teaching the child to ANSWER the different
questions of "What is it?" "What do you do with it?" and "What color is it?" using
only the apple as the stimulus. - ANSWER -discrimination training
Simultaneous discrimination training - ANSWER -When multiple objects are
placed in front of the child and they are asked to touch, point or pick up the item.
This type has a visual field and most likely involves using a table and chair or
sitting on the floor
Uses 7 step and the 4 step sequence of teaching (refer to initial training notes)
Examples of SDs that use this method: "Touch (color)", "Give me the (object)"
"Point to the (item)" - ANSWER -simultaneous discrimination training
successive discrimination training - ANSWER -When the target and the
distractors cannot be presented simultaneously. The target and the distractor occur
across successive trials
This type has NO visual field of stimuli.
Uses 3 step and the 2 step sequence of teaching (refer to initial training notes)
Examples of SDs that use this method: Telling the client to do an action like
"Jump." (They cant do anything else at the same time) Asking the client a question
like "What is your name?" (They cannot ANSWER anything else at the same
time) - ANSWER -successive discrimination training
