difficulties with synthesizing details or pieces of information into a concept or "big picture."

difficulties with observing others' behaviors, speech, and body language and making an inference about what they are thinking/feeling.

some individuals with autism will exhibit challenging behavior if she/he is hypersensitive to sensory experiences

progression of physical and cognitive skills along an expected path of an average person

progression of physical and cognitive skills along a deviated path of an average person

a neurological disorder that is associated with structural differences in the brain. These neurological differences result in atypical development/performance of social communication and engagement in repetitive behaviors/restricted interests

a conceptual representation of autism symptoms that indicate a gradient of impairments among those diagnosed with the disability. That is, it manifests in different ways of strengths and deficits among those who share the diagnostic label

use of an object/action/idea/person during paly to represent another object/idea/action/person

subtle social rules or guidelines that are not directly taught but are assumed to be known.

science of behavior, principles of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially significant behavior

a model to analyze behavior that breaks it down into what happens before, during, and after. This is known as the antecedent-behavior-consequence model

objective description of the behavior that describes the behavior with specific, observable words. Action verbs that are not interpretable, ensures that data collection is stable across different people

can a dead man do it? def of behavior is objective, measurable, only performable by a living person

stimulus change is delivered contingent on behavior, as a result the future probability of the behavior increases. a behavior produces something that benefits a person, and as a result they do it again in the future to get the same benefit. +

a thing or event that evokes a specific function reaction

occurring or existing only if (certain circumstances) are the case; dependent on

stimulus change is removed contingent upon a behavior, and as a result the future probability of the behavior increases. A behavior produces the removal of something the person does not like, and as a result the behavior occurs again in the future to remove that stimulus under similar circumstances. +

stimulus change is delivered contingent upon behavior, and as a result the future probability of the behavior decreases. A behavior produces something that makes a persons situation worse, and as a result they do not do it again in the future. -Example: a child hits a child and is spanked by parent, stops hitting.

stimulus is removed contingent upon behavior, behavior decreases in future. -

child hits child to get a toy, parent takes away toy, child stops hitting

Escape, attention, tangible/activity, sensory

gets ride of aversive stimulus or delays it. Falls to floor when asked to perform difficult task

access to another person's attention, eye contact, facial expression

preferred item to hold, activity.

smell, tactile feeling, taste, sound, as a product of engaging in behavior. Rubbing lotion on arms/

a principle of science that states the universe is a lawful and orderly place

stimulus that occur right before the behavior

anything a person says or does

a stimulus change that occurs right after the behavior

the purpose that a behavior serves

sensory

a systematic assessment designed to produce information about what purposes the behavior is serving. 3 types- Functional Analysis (direct), Descriptive analysis (ABC recording), indirect assessment (observation and interview).

direct method of functional assessment that involves systematic manipulation of antecedents and consequences and measurement of a target behavior in order to determine its functions.

direct method of functional assessment that involves watching a target behavior and objectively identifying ABC's.

functional assessment method that does not involve directly watching a person, structured/unstructed interviews.

a process by which reinforcement is withheld for a response under certain stimulus condition and delivered for a response under other stimulus conditions

SD a stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement due to a prior history in which a behavior was emitted in its presence and reinforcement was delivered/produced

a stimulus change that neither evokes nor elicits a response

stimulus change in the environment that temporarily alters the reinforcing properties of a stimulus; and temporarily alters the probability that a person will engage in behavior that in the past, produced that stimulus

a stimulus change that temporarily increases the value of a stimulus and evokes all behavior that in the past produced that stimulus

a stimulus change that temporarily decreases the value of a stimulus and decreases the probability of a behavior occurring in the past produced that stimulus.
