Q: What is Frequency?
The number of times a behavior occurs
Q: What is Rate?
A: Frequency of behavior divided by time. Used when observation lengths differ
Q: What is Duration?
A: How long a behavior lasts from start to finish.
Q: What is Latency?
A: The time between the SD (instruction) and the start of the response.
Q: What is IRT (Interresponse Time)?
A: The time between two instances of the same behavior.
Q: What is a Permanent Product?
A: A lasting outcome of behaviorsuch as completed worksheets.
Q: What is Partial Interval Recording?
A: Record if behavior occurs at any point in an interval; tends to overestimate.
Q: What is Whole Interval Recording?
A: Record if behavior occurs during the entire interval; tends to underestimate.
Q: What is Momentary Time Sampling?
A: Record if behavior occurs at the end of the interval.
Q: What is the Dead Man’s Test?
A: If a dead man can do it, it’s not a behavior.
Q: What is an SD (Discriminative Stimulus)?
A: A signal that reinforcement is available for a specific behavior.
Q: What is an SΔ (S-Delta)?
A: A signal that reinforcement is not available for a specific behavior.
Q: What is Differential Reinforcement?
A: Reinforcing desired behavior while withholding reinforcement for undesired behavior.
Q: What is DRA?
A: Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior – reinforce an alternative behavior.
Q: What is DRO?
A: Differential Reinforcement of Other behavior – reinforce when problem behavior does not occur.
Q: What is DRI?
A: Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible behavior – reinforce a behavior that cannot occur at the same time as the problem behavior.
Q: What is Extinction?
A: Withholding reinforcement previously delivered for a behavior.
Q: What is Shaping?
A: Reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior until the target behavior is reached.
Q: What is Chaining?
A: Teaching a sequence of steps to complete a skill (forward backward)
Q: What is Discrete-Trial Teaching (DTT)?
A: Structured teaching with SD → Response → Consequence → Intertrial Interval.
Q: What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)?
A: Teaching in naturally occurring settings using client motivation.
Q: What is a Token Economy?
A: A system where tokens are earned and exchanged for backup reinforcers.
Q: What are Session Notes?
A: Objective measurable
Q: What are Professional Boundaries?
A: Avoiding dual relationships gifts
