SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔Reinforcement in PRT - ✔✔Naturalistic & Contingent: Getting what they wanted by
producing the desired bx. (asking for something and getting it.)
Reinforce attempts, but not with same magnitude as successful trials.
✔✔Self Initiated Interactions - ✔✔Asking, "what's that?" "Help!" "Look!" "Where is it?"
"What's happening?" etc.
Using Joint Attention- looking, pointing, labeling, commenting.
✔✔Prompt Heirarchy for Fading - ✔✔FPP
PPP
VP
MP
GP
PP
ViP
Natural Cue
✔✔Inter-observer agreement - ✔✔Percentage of data agreement for an interval/
observation period. Measurements in frequency, duration, intervals
✔✔Total count IOA - ✔✔smaller count/larger count*100%
Used for event recording
✔✔Mean-Count-per-Interval IOA - ✔✔(Int 1 IOA +Int 2 IOA + ....+Int N IOA)/N intervals
x 100%
For Frequency counts
✔✔Exact Count per Interval IOA - ✔✔% total intervals both observers recorded same
count
# intervals w 100% IOA/ n intervals x 100%
For frequency counts
✔✔Partial Agreement w/in Intervals IOA - ✔✔Sum of all Interval IOA /#Intervals *100%
same as "Mean count per interval" IOA
, For Frequency counts
✔✔Interval by interval IOA - ✔✔# intervals w agreement/ Total # intervals x100%
Interval counts
✔✔Scored Interval IOA - ✔✔# int agreement occurred/ total # intervals where bx
occurred (agree/disagree) x100%
Interval counts
✔✔Unscored interval IOA - ✔✔# int agreed not occur/ sum intervals did not occur
(agree/ disagree) x 100%
Interval counts
✔✔Total duration IOA - ✔✔Shorter duration/ Longer duration x 100%
Duration based data
✔✔Mean Duration per occurence - ✔✔Sum (duration IOAs)/ # intervals x 100%
✔✔What is Discriminated stimulus? - ✔✔a stimulus in the prescene of which a
response has a higher probability of occurence as it is lkely to be reinforced
✔✔What is TEACCH developed on? - ✔✔understanding the learning characteristics of
individuals w/ autism and the use of visual supports to promote meaning and
independence
✔✔What are the principles of TEACCH? - ✔✔- understanding the culture of Autism
- developing an individualized person- family- centered plan for each clien rather than
using a standard curriculum
- structuring the physical enviornment
- using visual supports to make the sequence of daily activities predictable and
understandable
- using visual supports to make indv tasks understandable
✔✔Why autism is considered a spectrum disorder? - ✔✔ASD can have a range of
symptoms
✔✔Identify the currently accepted prevalence rates of autism. - ✔✔1 in 59
✔✔What does DSM stand for? - ✔✔Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders
