ABC Recording |
The observer records a descriptive, temporally sequenced account of all behaviors of interest and the antecedent conditions and consequences for those behaviors as those events occur in the clients natural environment |
|
Anecdotal Observation |
A basic form of direct continuous observation called ABC recording |
|
Behavior Checklist |
This provides a description of specific behaviors and the conditions under which each behavior occurs and consequence events that may affect the frequency, intensity, or duration of behaviors |
|
Behavioral Assessment |
Include indirect and direct procedures such as interviews, checklists, and tests to identify and define the specific target behavior; it can uncover functional relations between variables |
|
Behavioral Cusp |
Occurs when a learner performs a new behavior that sets the occasion to access reinforcers that otherwise would not have been available |
|
Ecological Assessment |
A great deal of information is gathered about the person and the various environments in which that person lives and works |
|
Function-Based Definition |
Designates responses as members of the targeted response class solely by their common effect on the environment |
|
Habilitation |
The degree to which the persons repertoire maximizes short and long term reinforcers for that individual and for others, and minimizes short and long term punishers |
|
Normalization |
Use of progressively more typical environments, expectations, and procedures to establish and/or maintain personal behaviors which are as culturally normal as possible |
|
Pivotal Behavior |
A behavior that, once learned, produces corresponding modifications or covariations in other adaptive untrained behaviors |
|
Reactivity |
Effects that an assessment has on the behavior being assessed. The person being observed is aware of the observers presence and purpose which can influence the subjects behavior |
|
Relevance of Behavior Rule |
The target behavior should be selected only when it can be determined that the behavior is likely to produce reinforcement in the persons natural environment |
|
Social Validity |
Behavior analysis efforts that not only target important behaviors, but also change those behaviors in a positive and meaningful way |
|
Target Behavior |
The specific behavior selected for change |
|
Topography-Based Definition |
Identifies instances of the target behavior by the shape or form of the behavior |
