A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which the same learning trial (SD) for an acquisition skill is presented several times in a row.
G-9 Use discrete-trial, free-operant, and naturalistic teaching arrangements.
G.13 Design and evaluate trial-based and free-operant procedures.
A self-management procedure that aims to decrease challenging behavior by having an individual engage in the repeated performance of the challenging behavior.
A behavioral concept that maintains that behavior is produced in direct proportion to the reinforcement that is available for that behavior. Hint: We make behavior choices at every moment, and
B-5 Define and provide examples of schedules of reinforcement.
B.23 Identify ways the matching law can be used to interpret response allocation.
A conditional discrimination procedure in which a stimulus is presented and taught to match a secondary stimulus. Reinforcement is delivered for correctly matching the two antecedent stimuli. Matches can include
G-12 Use equivalence-based instruction.
G.19 Design and evaluate procedures to promote emergent relations and generative performance.
Refers to the changes in a subject over the course of the study that result from natural growth and development.
D-2 Distinguish between internal and external validity.
D.3 Identify threats to internal validity (e.g., history, maturation).
A horizontal line on a line graph established by calculating the average of the graphed data points; used to signify the degree to which data points converge on the y-axis.
Data that represents an unwarranted and misleading picture of behavior because of how it was measured, typically a product of time-sampling, limiting measurement scales, or poorly scheduled measurement periods.

C-8 Evaluate the validity and reliability of measurement procedures.
C.8 Evaluate the validity and reliability of measurement procedures.
When an observer’s measurement is influenced by an expectation or belief they hold rather than what actually occurred.
C-8 Evaluate the validity and reliability of measurement procedures.
C.8 Evaluate the validity and reliability of measurement procedures.
Uncontrolled variables related to the environment, the measurement tools, or a data collector’s behavior that may interfere with the measurement of behavior and therefore impact the outcomes and/or the effectiveness
A horizontal line on a line graph established by calculating the median of the graphed data points, used to signify the degree to which data points converge on the y-axis.
