1. Motivating Operations (MO): An environmental variable that alters the reinforc- ing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event. 2. Contingency: Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior an it's controlling variables. 3. Satiation: Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its effectiveness and for this reason the rate of responses declines. 4. Positive Reinforcement: A type of reinforcement in which the presentation of the stimulus is contingent upon...

1. Knowledge of deficits in social emotional-reciprocity: for example, from ab- normal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to re- duced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions. Ex: Not responding to regular greeting, no eye contact when called by name, unable to recognize emotions, do not understand jokes, unable to recognize body language or facial expression 2. Knowledge of deficits in nonverbal commun...

1. Which of the following statements is true? A. Accurate data is sometimes necessary for making sure that behavior change plans are relevant to the person receiving them. B. Accurate data is always necessary for building behavior change plans and measuring progress. C. If most of the data collected is accurate, then it will be enough to make decisions about the behavior. D. If only a small amount of data is collected over time, we still can make conclusions about the success of failure of a...

1. The integrated neurobehavioral approach considers... ANS state of arousal, cog- nition, language, and social-emotional 2. If a client doesn't understand a demand, you can... ANS provide visual information, give a prompt, or model 3. If you realize you know the clients mom outside of the client, you must...- ANS inform your supervisor because you cannot provide therapy for the child as it constitutes as a dual relationship 4. Early intensive behavioral intervention for a 3 yr old is M...

1. Forward Chaining: Begin with the first SD- response component in the chain and then continue forward through the remaining SD-response components. Example: Teaching a child to brush their teeth from the beginning of the task with the SD "Brush your teeth" the child gets the tooth brush, turns on the cold water, puts the toothbrush under the water... eventually then gets towel, wipes mouth and hands and hangs towel up. The reinforcer will be AFTER THE TARGET STEP and the Therapist will co...

Contingency - ANSWER-Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior an it's controlling variables. Satiation - ANSWER-Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its effectiveness and for this reason the rate of responses declines. Positive Reinforcement - ANSWER-A type of reinforcement in which the presentation of the stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting in an increase in the future probability of that response Negative Reinforcement - ANSWER-A...
