Standard 5: Biological Explanations
10
Behavioral Explanation 1
The Behavioral Explanation states that both adaptive and maladaptive behavior is
learned and that learning results as a consequence of behavior.
**Behavior that results in pleasing consequence more likely to be repeated
**Behavior that results in unpleasing consequence is less likely to be repeated
The Behavioral Theory makes three important assumptions:
1) 3 part behavioral sequence
2) Behaviors/responses are result of antecedents
3) Changes to behaviors/responses can be done by manipulation of A/C
Antecedent
• Stimuli/events
that occur just
before behavior
Behavior
Consequence
• Observable
response
• Stimuli/events
that happen
after behavior

How to Kill a Reinforcer 101

Do not attend to balance between effort and
reinforcer (quality/quantity)

Do not select reinforcers that compete with
reinforcers maintaining problem behaviors

Do not attend to the principles of ABA
(schedules of reinforcement, errorless teaching,
short ITI’s, prompting, functional skills)
20
Types of Reinforcers
Primary
(Unconditioned)
Secondary
(Conditioned)
Basic Human needs
Food, water, air, sleep,
reduce pain,
temperature, activity
etc…
Generalized r+:
Tokens, money, tickets,
poker chips
Sensory reinforcers:
includes self
stimulatory behaviors

Jenny’s therapist assessed Jenny’s on task
behavior (writing, reading a page or
calculating problem) an average of every 6
minutes (4,5,6,7,8). If Jenny was on task
she would receive 1 point. Points can be
redeemed for extra recess time.

DR Practice (1)

Lacee is a non-vocal 6 year old with autism.
She has 4 signs which include milk, cereal,
candy and ball. During 1:1 instruction with her
tutor she will engage in a few tasks and then
will start throwing materials and scratching
her aide. Her aide quickly cleans up the work
items and throws her hands up saying she is
not paid enough for this. Work time is then.
Lacee’s scratching and throwing behavior
increases and begins to occur each time 1:1
instruction begins with her aide.

DRO Reset Schedule (2)

Kalee engages in self talk where she will yell out movie phrases or
words very loudly and then laugh hysterically.This behavior is
contributing to Kalee’s isolation in that her family doesn’t like to
take her in public and the school won’t allow her to be in the
general education classroom because it is so disruptive.You
observe Kalee for 60 minutes during centers time. During your
observation she engages in self talk 20 times. When she engages in
self-talk the therapist redirects her back to the task and asks her to
be quiet and must repeat this several times before Kalee attends to
her therapist. During 15 of the self talk episodes, the therapist is
cleaning up and prepping stations and does not provide a
consequence for the behavior. During your observation she is being
asked to engage in puzzles, tracing letters, sorting beads, and
counting activities.You also note that when given free choice, Kalee
chooses activities such as self talk, singing, listening to music,
humming, placing toys that vibrate to her ears, and snapping her
fingers by her ears or clapping loudly.
51
DRO Fixed-Interval
Interval schedule is fixed and R+ delivered
at end of interval during which the
response does not occur
 Must go for the entire interval with no
occurrence of behavior to receive R+
 If target behavior occurs, no R+ delivered
at end of the interval and student gets
another chance at next interval
 PWOP page 73-74 figure 6.3

52
DRO FI Schedule (3)

Amy frequently engages in removing her clothes. She
takes off her shoes, pants and shirt while at school or
in the community with her family. She has identified
sensory needs as identified by an Occupational
therapist and Sensory Integration Specialist. Amy has to
keep her clothes on for longer periods of time on in
order to be in environments outside of her home. You
observe Amy in her home for 3 hours during which she
removes her clothing 3 times. During your observation,
Amy is engaged in activities of her choice such as
computer, self stimulatory play with a fan and rocking
back and forth while humming. Amy’s family states she
removes clothes when she is alone, when engaged in
preferred and un-preferred activities and even in her
sleep.
53
DRO Increasing Interval
Way of thinning or fading R+
 As student can refrain from engaging in TB
over several intervals, slowly increase the
interval size
 Must increase reinforcer quality or quantity
as intervals increase
 PWOP 74 figure 6.4

54
DRO Increasing Interval Schedule
(4)

Jack was doing really well on his DRO FI30min schedule. He currently has 5 30
minute intervals in a row where he has
refrained from spitting. Each 30 minutes Jack
refrains from spitting he gets to play 1 round
of angry birds. The amount of time spent
accessing his reinforcer is starting to
interfere with routines in the day because
activities are stopped every 30 minutes to
deliver the reinforcer.


Useful for learners who need frequent feedback
regarding performance to maintain a level of responding
Used for low rate behaviors
Allows for shorter intervals, frequent feedback and
increasing amounts of R+
Interval size remains the same but as student refrains
from TB for more consecutive intervals the R+ gets
bigger and better
Requires use of reinforcers that can be given in
increasing units (tokens, minutes on activity, beverage,
etc…)
Transition from FI to DROP schedules

DRO Progressive Schedule (5)

Mike has Asperger’s and is working on gaining more
appropriate social skills. Mike’s IBI provider has been
using a token system with Mike that has been very
effective in modifying various behaviors. Mike’s IBI
provider wants to use a token system where Mike
can earn points when he refrains from kissing and
hugging strangers. He wants to reward Mike for
going longer periods of time without engaging in this
behavior. He wants a system his family can easily use
as well when Mike is not with him. Mike can trade
points earned for activities and items that he does
not otherwise get access to. Create a DROP
schedule for Mike using a 1 hour interval.

Charlie is a non-verbal 8 year old boy who used to scream and
bite his aide whenever she asked him to sit and do work. His
previous IBI provider did some analysis and discovered when he
engaged in this behavior the task was removed and he was
placed in time out. His behavior of screaming and biting
increased over time. She was able to teach Charlie a
replacement behavior of asking for a “break” which resulted in
removal of the task for a period of time. She also made his
work time less difficult and made sure Charlie had lots of
reinforcers available. If Charlie does engage in the problem
target behavior, he is redirected back to his assignment and the
task remains in place. The problem now is Charlie asks for a
break all the time and it is difficult to teach Charlie any new
skills.
 During a 1-hour observation, Charlie asks for a break 20 times

Ava engages in finger play that occurs so frequently it is
beginning to cause damage to her joints. She will twist
and pop her fingers and her family is worried about the
continued damage she is doing. It is reported she does it
most when in the community with her family or
therapist. You observe Ava at the store with her parents
for 30 minutes. During your observation she engages in
finger play a total of 30 times. You do not see any
patterns that suggest this behavior is maintained by
attention, escape from task or to obtain anything from
her parents. You suspect the behavior is resulting in
internal consequences for Ava, possibly sensory related
or to reduce anxiety. You also observe that she enjoys
being piggy backed by her dad or riding on the front of
the cart.


Joe almost exclusively engages in playing, twirling, twisting
and pulling on his hair or anyone else’s hair who happens to
be nearby. It is determined through analysis that this
behavior serves as a stimulation behavior and the aspects
that Joe likes are the repetitive motion and the input from
the hair on his fingers. Since he will do it to others as much
as on himself, it is not thought that the feeling on his head
has a reinforcing component. This behavior is preventing Joe
and his family from accessing typical environments and is
keeping Joe isolated from his peers and community. If his
parents or anyone tries to remove the hair or stop him he
grabs it hard in an effort to keep the hair which causes pain
to the other person and makes people scared of Joe.

1) When asked about her medical history, Ava’s mother
reports that Ava often experiences urinary tract
infections. Because Ava is non-verbal she can not
verbalize when she is in pain or feeling discomfort. Ava
is currently working on potty training as a goal. Ava will
hold her urine for so long OR will not empty her
bladder completely when she urinates which can cause
bladder infections. Fill in the 4 part behavioral sequence
from the scenario given:
It was snack time and Ava was shown her visual schedule.
He teacher pointed to the toilet picture indicating it
was time to go potty and wash her hands before snack.
Ava ran around the room screaming, arching her body
and flopping to the floor.

2) During the functional assessment interview, Raj’s
mom indicated that her son is sometimes very
sensitive to sound. He will cover his ears and mom
is not sure why until shortly after when she hears a
siren or other loud noise approaching. Fill in the 4
part behavioral sequence from the scenario given:
Raj’s family uses a pressure cooker to cook rice in
their kitchen. It is always left out on the stove even
when not in use. When it is time to go outside to
play you must go through the kitchen to get to the
back door. You say to Raj “let’s go outside” as you
point to the back door. He screams and runs away
from you into the basement.

Steps to Conducting a Functional
Assessment
STEP
How to Collect Information
1. Define the target behaviors and
pattern of occurrence
•Review of daily schedule and routine
2. Develop a hypothesis about the
target behavior
•Conduct interview
•Direct observation
3.Validate your hypothesis
•Functional Analysis: can you turn TB
on and off?

Reinforcers
Identified what purpose behaviors serve? What
consequences does individual want? Do you have
reinforcers that will keep value of escape low?
Preventions
Identified what antecedents trigger desired and
undesired behavior? Are you incorporating these into
teaching model?
Functional Skills
What are you teaching? Are the skills functional?
What next?
Do you know where skills are going? Where is plan
going for this person? What’s the big picture

Sd: written word
Prompts: Verbal, mimetic,
gesture (sign or other visual
support)
Sd: written word
Prompts: Fade in and highlight
letter formation, word shaped like
label
Sd: “go play”
Prompts: point to kitchen
center, physically guide to
kitchen center, “go play at
kitchen center.”
Sd: “go play”
Prompt: Distributed several articles
child liked such as flashing toys,
mirrors, etc, to “lure” child to go to
the center.
Sd: enter into play with
peers
Prompts: pointing to friends,
physical guidance to friends,
indirect/direct verbal ‘what
are your friends doing/go
with friends.”
Sd: enter into play with peers
Prompts: Place squares around
table for peers to stand on, one left
empty for child. Empty square
signals to child the correct
response. Fade out square by
making smaller and smaller until
gone
Study:
Teaching child to branch out
from repetitive play to
experience and play with
various centers in school.
Wanted child to play in
dramatic play area- kitchen
Study:
Teaching child to engage in
same activity that peers are
engaging in instead of
withdraw and repetitive selfstimulatory behaviors. Using

Reasons to use this method of recording:
1. Ensures systematic fading of prompts
2. Can analyze if student has been at level of prompt too long (avoid prompt
dependency)
3. Tells you at what prompt student is performing successfully so you can ensure
errorless learning (minimize errors)
