ABAT exam questions with correct answers 2023 updatedLeast Restrictive Environment (LRE) connected with IDEA - students spend as much time as possible mainstreamed in general education courses IEP Goals and objectives one annual goal: 3 objectives // smaller benchmarks that the client will meet throughout the year Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) federal law passed in 1975 // required schools to provide education to eligible individuals // Purpose: FAPE - free and public education 3 term contingency Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence Matching Law intensity of reinforcement matches the intensity of the unexpected demand Satiation Satisfaction "having your fill of something" deprivation no continuous access to item positive reinforcement the reinforcement of a response by the addition or experiencing of a pleasurable stimulus negative reinforcement increasing the strength of a given response by removing or preventing a painful stimulus when the response occurs positive punishment the administration of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior's recurring negative punishment A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus), that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions. schedules of reinforcement different patterns of frequency and timing of reinforcement following desired behavior continous reinforcement a type of learning in which behavior is reinforced each time it occurs fixed interval reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed variable interval reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals fixed ratio reinforces a response only after a specified number of responses variable ratio reinforces a response after an unpredictable number of responses shaping reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior forward chaining used when the first steps are easier than the last. Fades prompts from first steps, then second step, and so on. Client should independently complete the first steps and BI prompts everything else backward chaining most commonly used. Fade prompts from the last steps and so on. BI prompts all the beginning steps and client should independently complete the last steps Types of prompting Least to most: Postural , gestural, model , visual , verbal , physical response generalization giving a response that is somewhat different from the response originally learned to that stimulus "being able to respond with sandals, tennis shoes, heels all in response to the SD "shoes" stimulus generalization the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is only similar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response "recognizing a dog when you see it on tv , park, outside" DTT (Discrete Trial Training) Break skills down into smaller steps , teach single discrete specific behaviors. Once specific behaviors are mastered we chain to get more complex behaviors Errorless learning strategy that ensures the child always responds correctly serial thinking theory that autistic children cant process more than one piece of information at a time Functions of behavior 1. Sensory/Automatic Reinforcement 2. Social Attention 3. Tangibles/Access 4. Escape/Avoidance Perservaration behavior that is repetitive in nature, get stuck on reading he schedule of the day over and over again BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) provides proactive and reactive strategies to problem behaviors // helps relate behavior reduction goals with objectives and describes the plans to meet those goals What can be created after an FBA is conducted? BIP Functional Behavior Assessments or FBAs helps determine what relationship? The relationship between goals and objectives. Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) analytical process based on observations, review of records, interviews and dat analysis to determine the function the behavior serves for the student, how that function can be met more appropriately and how the environment can be altered to better support general positive behaviors Who conducts FBA? school psychologist but may be conducted by any qualified or trained person on the IEP team including SLPs and teachers exclusionary removing the client from the reinforcing environment ( student is throwing sand so he is sent inside to work)
