COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
Three-term contingency
The basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior;
encompasses the temporal and possibly dependent relations among
an antecedent stimulus, behavior, and consequence
Contingency
Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant
behavior and its controlling variables
Contingent
Describes reinforcement (or punishment) that is delivered only after
the target behavior has occurred
Rule-governed behavior
Behavior controlled by a rule (i.e., a verbal statement of an
antecedent-behavior-consequence contingency); enables human
behavior (e.g., fastening a seat belt) to come under the indirect
control of temporally remote or improbable, but potentially
significant consequences (e.g., avoiding injury in an auto accident)
,Contingency-shaped behavior
Behavior acquired by direct experience with contingencies
History of reinforcement
An inclusive term referring in general to all of a person's learning
experiences and more specifically to past conditioning with respect
to particular response classes or aspects of a person's repertoire
Behavioral assessment
A form of assessment that includes indirect and direct procedures
such as interviews, checklists, and tests to identify and define the
specific target behavior. In addition to identifying behavior(s) to
change, comprehensive behavioral assessment can uncover
functional relations between variables; it provides context on the
resources, assets, significant others, competing contingencies,
maintenance and generalization factors, and reinforcers (or
punishers) that can be combined to improve the efficiency of an
intervention
Target behavior
The specific behavior selected for change
Criterion-referenced assessment (cra)
,Measures a child's skill performance across recognized and
commonly accepted "developmental milestones"
Curriculum-based assessment (cba)
The data that are obtained bear uniquely on the daily or weekly tasks
the learner performs in response to planned lessons
Anecdotal observation/abc recording
A form of assessment that includes indirect and direct procedures
such as interviews, checklists, and tests to identify and define the
specific target behavior. In addition to identifying behavior(s) to
change, comprehensive behavioral assessment can uncover
functional relations between variables; it provides context on the
resources, assets, significant others, competing contingencies,
maintenance and generalization factors, and reinforcers (or
punishers) that can be combined to improve the efficiency of an
intervention
Ecological assessment
An assessment protocol that acknowledges complex
interrelationships between environment and behavior. An ecological
assessment is a method for obtaining data across multiple settings
and persons
, Reactivity
The effects that an assessment has on the behavior being assessed
Habilitation
Occurs when a person's repertoire has been changed such that
short- and long-term reinforcers are maximized and short- and long-
term punishers are minimized
Relevance of behavior rule
Holds that only behaviors likely to produce reinforcement in the
person's natural environment should be targeted for change
Behavioral cusp
A behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend
well beyond the idiosyncratic change itself because it exposes the
person to new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, responses,
and stimulus controls (i.e., crawling, reading)
Pivotal behavior
A behavior that, when learned, produces corresponding
modifications or covariation in other untrained behaviors
