Abative effect
A type of behavior-altering effect that causes an in-the-moment decrease in the current frequency of behavior that’s been reinforced by a specific stimulus.
ABC continuous recording
A direct and descriptive measurement and assessment procedure in which instances of a naturally occurring target behavior and the specific environmental events (antecedents and consequences) accompanying the behavior are recorded. …
ABC narrative recording
A direct and descriptive measurement, and assessment procedure in which instances of a naturally occurring target behavior and the specific environmental events (antecedents and consequences) accompanying the behavior are recorded. …
Abolishing operation
A type of motivating operation that is the product of satiation that, at that moment, decreases the effectiveness of the stimulus as a reinforcer as well as the current frequency …
Accuracy
Measurement is trustworthy when the degree to which what was quantitatively measured (observed value) is representative of what actually occurred (true value); in other words, the data collected accurately represents …
C-8 Evaluate the validity and reliability of measurement procedures.
Adaptation
Refers to the changes in operant responding due to the repeated presentation of a particular antecedent stimulus.
Adjunctive behaviors
Behaviors that that occur in between the provision of reinforcement when reinforcement isn’t available and are maintained independent of reinforcement contingencies, but exist due to the contingencies being available for …

B-5 Define and provide examples of schedules of reinforcement.
Affirmation of the consequent
Demonstrating that the independent variable controls the dependent variable (behavior) by showing a functional relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, evidenced by a change in responding occurring …
Alternative schedules of reinforcement
A compound schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered when the requirement of either a ratio or interval schedule is met, regardless of which of the component schedule requirements …

Analytic
A dimension of ABA, which explains that a functional relationship is demonstrated when manipulated events (independent variables) produce a reliable change in any measurable dimension of the targeted behavior (dependent …
