Final Review

Basically, you'll need to know concepts and issues that were addressed in the SPED 553 course AFTER the midterm exam...understanding that some concepts were covered BEFORE and AFTER the midterm...so, they will be included in the final exam.

Be knowledgeable of the following:

* Positive and negative reinforcement
* Punishment
* primary and secondary reinforcers
* schedules of reinforcement
* Stimulus control
* Generalization
* Elements of a contract
* Prompts
* Differential schedules of reinforcement (DRA, DRI, DRO, DRL)
* Social Skills (Performance vs. Skill deficits)
* Given a case,

• know how to identify the problem behavior using appropriate terms,
• select data collection systems,
• analyze data, determine if beh. is performance or skill deficit,
• develop appropriate strategies,
• identify and make recommendations for changes in the ecology/environment,
• develop a self-recording system, and
• teach student to self-reinforce.

I will see you all sometime next week...and if I don't see you, have a great summer!
