Default Technologies
Default technologies are often intrusive, coercive, or punishment based and are often selected arbitrarily. FBA discovers why a behavior changes which suggests how it can be changed. FBA decreases reliance on default technologies.
Analog Conditions
Arranging the variables that may affect behavior in a systematic approach in a simulated setting rather then the natural environment in order to determine the function.
Undifferentiated Results
Data from an FBA show that problematic behaviors are variable across all conditions.
Social Positive Reinforcement
A positive reinforcement contingency in which the delivery of the reinforcer is mediated by another person.
Tangible Reinforcement
Gaining access to an item after exhibiting a behavior. Edible or material objects a child wants, such as stickers, stamps, or certificates. Positive behavior reinforced by these.
Automatic Positive Reinforcement
gaining access to an stimulus not controlled by social mediation, When a behavior produces a reinforcing consequence automatically (the reinforcing consequence is not delivered by a person), the behavior is said to be maintained by itself.
Social Negative Reinforcement
A negative reinforcement contingency in which the removal of the aversive stimulus is mediated by another person.
Automatic Negative Reinforcement
A negative reinforcement contingency in which the behavior removes an aversive stimulus without the mediation of another person.
Functional behavioral assessment-developing intervention
A systematic method of assessment for obtaining information about the purposes (functions) a problem behavior serves for a person; results are used to guide the design of an intervention for decreasing the problem behavior and increasing appropriate behavior.
functional behavior assessment-prevention
An intervention created from a FBA addresses the reinforcing functions of a behavior rather than over-riding or competing with the function.
3 methods of conducting functional behavior assessment
function experimental analysis, descriptive assessment, and indirect assessment
Functional Analysis
An analysis of the purposes (functions) of problem behavior, wherein antecedents and consequences representing those in the person's natural routines are arranged within an experimental design so that their separate effects on problem behavior can be observed and measured.
Functional Analyses 4 conditions
Control, contingent attention, contingent escape, and alone
Control Condition
Reinforcement is freely available and no demands are placed target, behaviors are ignored.The condition of an experiment that contrasts with the experimental condition and serves as a comparison for evaluating the effect of the treatment.
Contingent Attention Condition
Attention is given only after the target behavior is demonstrated.
