Mark all the intervals where at least 1 person scored the nonoccurrence of the behavior. Using only the intervals where at least 1 person scored the nonoccurrence of the behavior divide the agreements of both observers by the total number of trials in which at least 1 person scored the nonoccurrence of the behavior and multiply by 100 3/8 * 100 = 37.5%
An untrained stimulus-stimulus relation that emerges as a product of training two other stimulus-stimulus relations. In Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), transitivity is one of the key principles of stimulus equivalence. It refers to the ability to derive a relationship between two stimuli that have not been directly trained together. Here’s how it works: Examples: Applied Behavior Analysis (2nd Edition) Need ABA study cards? Click here.
Reflexivity is also known as generalized identity matching. In the above example if you are able to select a picture of a bike as the missing picture you would be demonstrating reflexivity if you also had no prior matching training or reinforcement for doing so.

Symmetry if A = B then B = A. The learner is taught when presented with the picture grapes (sample stimulus A) to select the written word grapes (sample stimulus B). When presented with the written word grapes (sample stimulus B), without additional training or reinforcement, the learner selects the picture of grapes (sample stimulus A). Training: A child learns to match the spoken word “dog” (Stimulus A) to a picture of a dog (Stimulus B). Symmetry: The child demonstrates symmetry by independently matching the picture of a dog (Stimulus B) to the spoken word “dog” (Stimulus A) without direct training on that specific pairing.

The compound schedules of reinforcement are:
Prompts are either stimulus prompts or response prompts. Response prompts are supplementary antecedent stimuli used to occasion a correct response in the presence of an SD that will eventually control the behavior. With response prompts you have modeling, verbal instructions, and physical guidance. Verbal instructions can be either vocal or non vocal. Vocal instructions are oral and non vocal instructions can be either written words, pictures, or manual signs. Stimulus prompts are movement, position, and redundancy.

Use this data sheet when you want to increase a behavior at the same time that you want to decrease a different behavior that has the same function as the first behavior. Doing so on the same datasheet allows you to see how quickly your student is progressing. For example, suppose a student is calling out in class, and you would like them to raise their hand instead of calling out. If you only track calling out, you will not know if they made any progress with raising their hand. You can download this data sheet here.
Learn how to calculate scored-interval, unscored-interval, and interval-by-interval Interobserver agreement IOA Using the following data: Calculate scored-interval IOA 2/7 * 100 = 28.57% Calculate unscored-interval IOA 3/8 * 100 = 37.5% Calculate interval-by-interval IOA 5/10 * 100 = 50%
Applied Behavior Analysis is the science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior. By John O. Cooper, Timothy E. Heron, William L. Heward. Applied Behavior Analysis (2nd Edition) The principles of Applied Behavior Analysis can be seen at work in a wide variety of applications. Applied Behavior Analysis isn’t just for people with Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorders. For example, ABA can be used to help a person to eat healthier, and to exercise more. ABA can be used to teach toilet training and language to a typically developing toddler or chemistry and algebra to a high school student. ABA can also be used to get people to recycle and to conserve household energy use. ABA programs have been successful in teaching new skills to individuals with…
