You're welcome!

I'm glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting these videos. I am a very concrete thinker and so this is very helpful for breaking down abstract terms.

@@VictoriaGallegos-b5y I'm glad to hear that you find my videos helpful.

Will do!

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for watching my videos.

You're welcome!

Probably same thing

So sorry! I chose the wrong video. I just fixed the title, and I'll be posting negative reinforcement in the near future!

Think about it logically if punishment is defined here as a decrease in behaviour, then reinforcement must be an increase in behaviour so negative reinforcement must be when you do something negative like taking away the TV. To increase some behaviour like going outside.

Thank you, DIGIHAMID. I provide ABA training seminars for special education teachers.

Thank you!

Although I introduced general behavioral techniques in this video, it is important to be aware that each individual with autism is different. An ABA practitioner (i.e., BCBA) should create a behavior plan that fits their unique needs.

Thank you!

no no its not its traumatizing because we are being touched against our will

@@amberharmsen2497 High five?

thank you for realizing this so many of my friends including me have trauma from this shit and it hasnt changed

no it isnt its litterally traumatizing for us

@@amberharmsen2497 seems u haven't tried aba coz if u had tried u would hav known d benefits of it. Anyway Gud 👍 luck.

I'm about to get an evaluation for autism (I 'm an adult so it's much harder) but I was watching this and thought to myself how uncomfortable this system would be - the tickling and random touches especially. It would put me on guard. Tickling personllay gives me EXTREME anxiety and makes me want to panic. I do not want to be randomly touched like that. This would be so overstimulating for me as a kid and even now.. I am personally glad I never had to go through this therapy

Because some kids like to be tickled and that's why some professionals use that as a reinforcer.

I thought it was part of desensitization. Neurotypical kids usually like tickling and high pitched reward voices are excitement and rewarding. Autistic kids usually don't. So, by using touch as a reward they're trying to get the kids used to being touched.

That's how therapist keeps his attention.

Behaviour analysts use a reinforcer preference assessment before designing a teaching plan for a learner. Everything, including the choice of reinforcer, is data-driven, using data from the situation with the learner and their environment. A lot of people make unnecessarily harsh assumptions about BCBAs, BCaBAs and RBTs. This is based on a culture of hate in the community to which they belong: the whole anti-ABA community, whose entire premise is based on lies told on a website two decades ago that has long since disappeared off the net. I wonder why. Did it turn out that its makers were absolute liars? Probably, since not a single report could be found from the periods claimed for the 'torture' and the 'abuse' in either newspapers or police/hospital reports or in journals ... and, if it were happening as they told it, there WOULD have been reports of it. I spent a year looking into this for my M. Ed. in educational psychology. Not a single case came up. And not a single piece of literature has been produced on the topic that was something that a third-grade school project could have bettered in terms of quality.

no hes truamatized because hes being touched repeatedly

Doesn't look to me that way. More like he is very sensitive towards his shoulders and enjoys it. He did protect his head, though. Maybe he was over stimulated at that point or just couldn't anticipate what was about to happen.

Heyyyy, floor play guy! How's your non-empirically backed, pseudoscientific waste of time and resources going?

I agree

same here@@Xx_Gay_Dinosaur_xX

Fixed ratio means after a certain/specific number of correct responses then a token will be rewarded. Fixed ratio = specific amount of instances. FR3 (example) would mean a Fixed ratio requiring 3 correct responses. For example - a child gets 3 math problems right and doesn't receive a token until 3 is completed. In contrast, fixed interval = a specific amount of time that has passed. FI3 (example) would mean a Fixed interval requiring 3 minutes of correct behavior. For example - A child does math problems for 3 minutes, then they receive a token.

@@mmfrogi you just helped me understand it in such a simple way! I was so confused on the different types of schedules of reinforcements for so long. How would you then but this in a graph? For example, an FR3, where would the correct number of responses go? The X axis or y? And would we just put them by 3? ( 3,6,9,12). Same with the Fixed interval, if we were expecting the correct response every 2 minutes, would we graph the axis by 2s?

Thank you, Ami-Lyn.

Thank you very much, Chuck!

You are truly welcome AJ. I have a 2 year old son on the spectrum and ABA has taught me a lot. My son does 20 hours a week. I really admire your patients, understanding and caring.
