Data Definitions and Consequence Interventions Justin Daigle, MA, BCBA, LBA Program Director
Some measureable, quantifiable dimension of behavior (such as duration, frequency, average, etc) Data
A measure of total time in which a behavior occurs. Duration
Count of occurrence of a target behavior Frequency
Time between the a response and another response of either the same typography or function Inter-response time (IRT)
A measurement method in which the presence or absence of behaviors are recorded at precisely specified time intervals Momentary Time Sampling
Shaping by Successive Approximations Recall previous discussion
A teaching procedure in which several independent behaviors are taught, one-at-a-time in sequence. (see handout) Chaining
Using chaining to teach a response while selecting the response to be taught from the first step to the last step Forward Chaining
Using chaining to teach a response while selecting the response to be taught from the last step to the first step Backward Chaining
A series of behaviors that occur immediately after one another that are reinforced at the same time. Example: In order to get food, rat must push red button and then blue button. Behavior Chain
Typical intervention used for decrease frequency of automatic reinforced behavior. Contingent upon the target behavior, client is given a series of demand (often incompatible demands). Demands do no stop until client has responded correctly three times without engaging in target behavior. Response Interrupt and Re-Direction (RIRD)
A punishment procedure in which a partial amount of a given reinforcer is removed contingent upon problematic behavior. Response Cost
A punishment procedure contingent upon problematic behavior in which the client is asked to restore the environment its previous state. Further, it requires the instructor to repeat this process three times as a consequence to the behavior. Overcorrection(using Positive practice)
The discontinuation of a reinforcer for a previously reinforced behavior. Extinction
A temporary increase in duration, frequency, and intensity of a target behavior after an extinction procedure is introduced. Extinction Burst
A temporary variance of behavior topographies after an extinction procedure is introduced. Extinction Induced Variability
A temporary increase in the probability of aggression when undergoing an extinction procedure Extinction Induced Aggression
A behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the target behavior suddenly, but temporarily, begins to occur after its frequency has decreased. Spontaneous Recovery
Any system whereby participants earn generalized conditioned reinforcer (such as tokens, coins, points, chips, etc) as an immediate consequence for a target behavior. Participants “cash in” to receive a backup reinforcer. Used to delay reinforcer and to avoid satiation. Token Economy
We don’t really target the behaviors, we target a frequency, duration, etc of a behavior. So if a behavior occurs at a high frequency and a high duration, two separate interventions may need to be used. Remember
