Stimulus conditions, or conditions that lead up to the behavior of interest |
Antecedent Conditions |
|
An assessment approach that focuses on the interactions between situations and behaviors for the purpose of effecting behavioral change. |
Behavioral Assessment |
|
Interviews conducted for the purpose of identifying a problem behavior, the situational factors that maintain the behavior, and the consequences that result from the behavior. |
Behavioral Interview |
|
Role-playing |
Behavioral Rehearsal |
|
is usually used in cases where the patient is trying to develop a new response pattern |
Behavioral Rehearsal |
|
An assessment approach recognizing that the person’s thoughts or cognitions play an important role in behavior. |
Cognitive Behavioral Assessment |
|
An assessment approach that calls for the functional analysis of the client’s thinking processes. |
Cognitive Functional Approach |
|
In this approach, the clinician completes a careful analysis of theperson’s cognitions, how they are aiding orinterfering with performance, and under whatsituations this is occurring |
Cognitive Functional Approach |
|
Outcomes, or events that follow from the behavior of interest. |
Consequent Events |
|
An observational method in which the clinician exerts a certain amount of purposeful control over the events being observed |
Controlled Observation |
|
also known as analogue behavioral observation |
Controlled Observation |
|
Controlled Observation (other term) |
analogue behavioral observation |
|
may be preferred in situations where a behavior does not occur very often on its own or where normal events are likely to draw the patient outside the observer’s range. |
Controlled Observation |
|
An assess ment procedure in which the clinician places individuals in carefully controlled performance situations and collects data on their performance/ behaviors, their emotional reactions (subjectively rated), and/or various psychophysiological indices. |
Controlled Performance Technique |
|
Completed by the client, it provides the client and therapist with a record of the client’s automatic thoughts that are related to dysphoria or depression. |
Dysfunctional Thought Record |
|
A new method of behavioral assessment in which participants record their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors as they occur in the natural environment. |
Ecological Momentary Assessment |
|
This is typically accomplished through the use ofelectronic diaries. |
Ecological Momentary Assessment |
|
In the context of behavioral assessment, the extent to which the behaviors analyzed or observed are representative of a person’s typical behavior |
Ecological Validity |
|
A technique used in behavior assessment in which individuals carry handheld computers that are programmed to prompt the individuals to complete assessments at that moment in time, in participants’ natural environment. |
Electronic Diaries |
|
A central feature of behavioral assessment |
Functional Analysis |
|
careful analyses are made of the stimuli preceding a behavior and the consequences following from it to gain a precise understanding of the causes of the behavior. |
Functional Analysis |
|
Observation that is carried out in the patient’s home by trained observers using an appropriate observational rating system. |
Home Observation |
|
Observation that is carried out in psychiatric hospitals or institutions using an observational device designed for that purpose. |
Hospital Observation |
|
A primary technique of behavioral assessment |
Observation |
|
is often used to gain a better understanding of the frequency, strength, and pervasiveness of the problem behavior as well as the factors that are maintaining it |
Observation |
|
A phenomenon in which observers who work closely together subtly, and without awareness, begin to drift away in their ratings from those of other observers. |
Observer's Drift |
|
Physical, physiological, or cognitive characteristics of the client that are important for both the conceptualization of the client’s problem and the formulation of effective treatments. |
Organismic Variable |
|
Used to assess central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, or skeletomotor activity |
Psychophysiological Measures |
|
is that they may assess processes (e.g., emotional responsivity) that are not directly assessed by self-report or behavioral measures, and they tend to be more sensitive measures of these processes than alternative measures. |
Psychophysiological Measures |
|
Examples of Psychophysiological Measures (4) |
1. event-related poten- tials (ERPs), 2. electromyographic (EMG) 3. electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, 4. electrodermal activity (EDA). |
|
In the context of observation, the phenomenon in which individuals respond to the fact that they are being observed by changing their behavior. |
Reactivity |
|
A technique in which patients are directed to respond the way they would typically respond if they were in a given situation. The situation may be described to them, or an assistant may actually act the part of another person. |
Role Playing |
|
—that is, the goal is to gather examples that are representative of the situations and behaviors of interest. |
Sample |
|
Behavioral observation that is conducted in the school setting. |
School Observation |
|
An observational technique in which individuals observe and record their own behaviors, thoughts, or emotions (including information on timing, frequency, intensity, and duration). |
Self Monitoring |
|
that is, the goal is to identify marks of underlying characteristics. |
Signs |
|
A controlled observation technique in which the clinician places individuals in situations more or less similar to those of real life and then observes their reactions directly |
Situational Tests |
|
A model for conceptualizing clinical problems from a behavioral perspective. |
Sorc Model |
|
Meaning of SORC model. |
1. S the stimulus or antecedent conditions that bring on the problematic behavior, 2. O the organismic variables related to the behavior, 3. R the response or the behavior itself, 4. C the consequences of the behavior. |
|
the length of time observations will be made and the type and number of responses that will be rated |
Unit of analysis |
