Applied Behavior Analysis - answer-The science of human behavior as applied to real
life situations. It is the application of behavior laws to change socially significant
behavior to a meaningful degree.
Behavior - answer-Any observable movement of a living thing. Have one or more
dimensions that can be observed and measured, impacts the environment, bound by
laws.
Covert Behaviors - answer-Behaviors that cannot be observed by others, exp, thoughts,
emotions, attitudes
Behavioral definitions - answer-Should be operational, include verbs describing the
behavior, objective and unambiguous, does not rely on internal states, a label of good
or bad is not used. A novice should be able to recognize the behavior without having
seen it before.
Discrete Trial Instruction (DTI) - answer-One on one, breaking skills into smaller steps,
teaching one step at a time until mastery, providing repetition, uses prompting and
prompt fading procedures, uses positive reinforcement.
Discrete Trial Cycle, SD chain - answer-Instruction (SD), response, consequence
(feedback), inter-trial interval (pause)
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - answer-Stimuli in the environment that signal behavior
and that are associated with reinforcement. SDs should be clear concise, and simple in
the beginning.
Response - answer-The behavior that is done in response to the instruction. It can be
correct or incorrect
Consequence/Feedback/SR (Reinforcing Stimulus) - answer-Consequence that
immediately follows the response
Inter-Trial Interval - answer-Pause after the reinforce has been given
Prompt - answer-Assistance given to facilitate correct responding. Prompting reduces
frustration and increases rate of learning. The prompt should occur with the SD or
immediately after the SD is given.
Types of Prompts - answer-Physical, Model, Verbal, Gestural, Proximity or positional,
Visual
