Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Techniques Quiz

ABA aims to comprehend and enhance behaviors through systematic analysis.

Adding a token for task completion exemplifies positive reinforcement by adding a desirable stimulus.

Behavioral decomposition involves analyzing complex behaviors by breaking them into simpler parts.

Reinforcement in ABA refers to consequences that boost the probability of behavior repetition.

Matching to sample exemplifies a discrete trial teaching method where tasks are presented in distinct, controlled trials.

Shaping in ABA involves reinforcing closer approximations of desired behavior until the target behavior is achieved.

SD, or Discriminative Stimulus, signals the availability of reinforcement for a specific behavior.

Negative punishment involves removing a favorable stimulus to decrease the likelihood of behavior recurrence.

Negative reinforcement involves increasing the likelihood of behavior by removing an aversive stimulus after its occurrence.

Functional analysis involves systematically evaluating factors impacting behavior to understand their function.

Generalization, a key component of BIP, ensures the application of learned behaviors across various settings and contexts.

Incidental teaching, a naturalistic strategy in ABA, capitalizes on naturally occurring learning opportunities within the individual's environment.

Effective reinforcers in ABA are promptly delivered following the desired behavior.

Behavior assessment in ABA primarily focuses on determining the purpose or function served by problem behaviors.
