  1. 3. The targeted behaviors that the learner is to learn are video recorded, then the learner watches the video and is given the chance to memorize, imitate and generalize those behaviors.
  2. 10. Arranging a teaching situation in which the learner imitates a target behavior performed by a model for a learner to imitate.
  3. 11. used to break complex tasks into a sequence of smaller steps
  4. 12. the implementation of reinforcing only the appropriate response (or behavior you wish to increase) and applying extinction to all other responses.
  5. 13. The use of an assessment tool(s) to guide an individualized treatment plan. Typically conducted by a BCBA.
  6. 14. visual supports that teach a person to transition from one activity to another activity independently
  7. 18. describe a rate of responding and its resistance to change following an alteration in reinforcement conditions, (i.e. Giving fast paced known directions to increase compliance)
  8. 19. refers to using a picture or other visual item to communicate with a child who has difficulty understanding or using language. These can be photographs, drawings, objects, written words, or lists.
  9. 20. a form of group or individual instruction designed to teach learners ways to appropriately interact with peers, adults, and other individuals.
  10. 21. the assistance provided to the learner after the presentation of the instructional stimulus but before the response to assure a correct response.
  11. 22. Using a story or visual sequence to teach a social skill
Down
  1. 1. a form of behavior modification designed to increase desirable behavior and decrease undesirable behavior with the use of tokens. Individuals receive tokens immediately after displaying desirable behavior. The tokens are collected and later exchanged for a desired object or activity.
  2. 2. Refers to behavior change that occurs when that behavior occurs outside of the learning environment. This can be across people, settings, or behaviors.
  3. 4. Adding or removing a stimulus that affects the future likelihood of it occurring under similar conditions.
  4. 5. A procedure consisting of instruction, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and feedback that is used to teach new behaviors or skills
  5. 6. interventions help learners independently regulate their own behaviors and act appropriately in a variety of home, school, and community-based situations.
  6. 7. Using reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior
  7. 8. observations or trial-based evaluations that allow practitioners to determine a preference hierarchy.
  8. 9. antecedent stimuli are manipulated to evoke desirable behaviors, so that they can be differentially reinforced, and to decrease undesirable behaviors that interfere with the desirable behaviors.
  9. 13. involves teaching the most meaningful vocabulary in the most naturalistic way for them to access reinforcement in their natural environment.
  10. 15. Teaches skills outside of a structured setting where the setting is related to the skills. Reinforcers are based on preferred items native to the learning environment and “natural consequences” and contingencies are available.
  11. 16. a structured ABA technique that breaks down skills into small, “discrete” components
  12. 17. the discontinuing of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior; the primary effect is a decrease in the frequency of the behavior until it reaches a pre-reinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur.
