A variation of basic intermittent schedules of reinforcement in which reinforcement for correct responding is delayed for the purpose of teaching self-control, tolerance of delayed gratification, functional communication, etc.
A pattern of responding specific to the fixed interval schedule of reinforcement, when the rate of responding decreases after the delivery of reinforcement, but gradually increases and speeds up at
A basic schedule of intermittent reinforcement in which a fixed amount of time must elapse before a single correct response produces reinforcement.
A basic schedule of intermittent reinforcement in which a fixed number of correct responses must be emitted for reinforcement to be delivered.
A reinforcement schedule during which only some instances of a behavior are reinforced.
A variation of basic intermittent schedules of reinforcement in which reinforcement is delivered for any response that differs in topography, sequence, etc., from a previously reinforced response.
A component that can be added to a schedule of reinforcement limiting access to reinforcement for correct responses that occur within a specific and fixed time.
A pause in responding that follows the delivery of reinforcement on fixed interval or fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement.
A variation of basic intermittent schedules of reinforcement in which the criteria for reinforcement is systematically increased, independent of the client’s behavior, until responding stops (the breaking point).
A basic schedule of intermittent reinforcement in which a variable amount of time must elapse before a single correct response produces reinforcement.
A basic schedule of intermittent reinforcement in which a variable number of correct responses must be emitted for reinforcement to be delivered.
