A compound schedule of reinforcement in which two or more un-signaled (No SD) basic schedules of reinforcement are in effect and must be met successively for the response to contact…

When the source of reinforcement for a behavior is access to specific socially mediated tangible items.

The four main sources of reinforcement for any wanted or unwanted behavior.

When the source of reinforcement for a behavior is escaping a socially mediated stimulus that is aversive to the individual.

A direct assessment, requiring direct observation of a behavior in naturally occurring conditions, to identify the environmental events associated with the behavior in order to hypothesize a function.

A formula that generates information from ABC recording to assess the statistical possibility that a target behavior will occur under specific antecedent and/or consequence conditions.

When the source of reinforcement for a behavior is access to socially mediated attention.

When the source of reinforcement for a behavior is self-mediated access to specific reinforcement or escape from aversive stimuli.

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.…

Focusing on ABC data collection, PTB co-founder Dana Meller discusses functional assessment procedures. Dana explains how to generate mathematical probabilities for target behaviors based on specific antecedents and consequences, providing a step-by-step guide to quantitatively analyzing the gathered information. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections F-7: Conduct a descriptive assessment of problem behavior and F-9: Interpret functional assessment data.

Get a comprehensive overview of ABC Recording Methods. PTB co-founder Dana Meller breaks down the two types, along with their differences, benefits, and practical applications. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections F-7: Conduct a descriptive assessment of problem behavior; and F-9: Interpret functional assessment data.

PTB co-founder Dana Meller discusses the two types of ABC recording methods, focusing on each technique's differences and accuracy concerns. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section F-7: Identify the defining features of single-subject experimental designs (e.g., individuals serve as their own controls, repeated measures, prediction, verification, replication).

Test your knowledge of interpreting descriptive assessment ABC data with PTB co-founder Dana Meller. Here she discusses conditional probability, including the rules that apply, and provides a step-by-step example using the calculation formula and how to report these data. Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections F-7: Conduct a descriptive assessment of problem behavior; F-9: Interpret functional assessment data.
