Dependent Group Contingency - ANSWER The group's reinforcer is dependent on the behavior of an
individual or small group of individuals.
Independent Group Contingency - ANSWER All members of a group are offered a contingency, but only
the individual's who meet the contingency earn the reinforcement.
Interdependent Group Contingency - ANSWER In order for the group to earn reinforcement, all of the
individuals in a group must meet the criterion of the established contingency.
Response Prompts - ANSWER Act on the response itself, NOT on the antecedent stimuli (e.g. verbal,
model, physical prompt).
Stimulus Prompts - ANSWER Act on the antecedent stimuli, NOT on the response (e.g. movement,
position, redundancy).
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) - ANSWER A procedure in which behavior
cannot be emitted simultaneously with the challenging behavior (e.g. the behavior being reinforced and
the behavior on extinction cannot occur at the same time).
Differential Reinforcement of Alternate Behavior (DRA) - ANSWER A procedure in which one reinforces
occurrence of behavior that provides a desirable alternative to the problem behavior; alternate and
challenging behavior are not incompatible.
Differential Negative Reinforcement of Incompatible/Alternate Behavior (DNRI/DNRA) - ANSWER Terms
used to refer to differential reinforcement procedures that specifically involve escape as the reinforcer.
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) - ANSWER A procedure in which reinforcement is
contingent on the absence of the challenging behavior.
, Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Responding (DRH) - ANSWER A schedule of reinforcement
that provides reinforcement for emitting behaviors that are at or above a pre-established rate; helps to
increase behaviors that are too infrequent.
Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates of Responding (DRD) - ANSWER A schedule of
reinforcement that provides reinforcement when the number of responses in a specified time period is
less than, or equal to, a prescribed limit; helps to decrease behaviors that occur too frequently, but not
eliminate it entirely.
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding (DRL) - ANSWER A schedule of reinforcement that
provides reinforcement only if the behavior occurs following a specific period of time during which it did
not occur or since the last time it occurred; by increasing IRT, you are lowering rate of responding.
7 dimensions of ABA- Behavioral - ANSWER Observable events.
7 dimensions of ABA- Applied - ANSWER Improves socially significant behaviors.
7 dimensions of ABA- Technological - ANSWER Defines procedures clearly and in detail so they are
replicable.
7 dimensions of ABA- Conceptually Systematic - ANSWER All procedures used should be tied to the basic
principles of behavior analysis from which they were derived.
7 dimensions of ABA- Analytic - ANSWER A functional relationship is demonstrated.
7 dimensions of ABA- Generality - ANSWER Extends behavior change across time, settings, or other
behaviors.
7 dimensions of ABA- Effective - ANSWER Improves behavior in a practical manner, not simply making a
change that is statistically significant.
Mentalism - ANSWER Approach to explaining behavior that assumes an inner dimension exists and
causes behavior (Freud)
