Planned model
In imitation training, this is the model established in advance for the purpose of helping a person develop certain skills by observing others perform a behavior.
B. Concepts and Principles
Point-to-point correspondence
A concept in verbal behavior wherein the beginning, middle, and end of the controlling stimulus (verbal SD) content match the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal behavior content.

Positive punishment
A process that occurs when the addition of a stimulus immediately following a behavior results in a decrease in the future frequency of that behavior.
Positive reinforcement
A process that occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that and similar behaviors under similar conditions.
Positive reinforcement extinction
A process where the maintaining positive reinforcer no longer follows a specific behavior, resulting in that behavior decreasing and eventually ceasing.
Post reinforcement pause
A pause in responding that follows the delivery of reinforcement on fixed interval or fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement.
Progressive schedule 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).
PTB’s Special ABA Sauce: Mastering the ABCs of Behavior
Test your understanding of the ABCs of Behavior with PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she analyzes a tasty scenario to identify the MO, SD, prompt, behavior, and consequence using PTB’s special ABC breakdown method. Discover how ordering extra sauce serves as a perfect example to unravel the intricate relationship between MOs, deprivation, SDs, and reinforcement.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections B-1: Define and provide examples of behavior, response, and response class, B-10: Define and provide examples of stimulus control, B-12: Define and provide examples of motivating operations and G-4: Use stimulus and response prompts and fading (e.g., errorless, most-to-least, least-to-most, prompt delay, stimulus fading).

Punishment
A stimulus change following a behavior that results in that behavior occurring less often or not at all in the future.
Pure tact
A tact response that is exclusively controlled by a nonverbal SD and no other antecedent stimuli.
Pure verbal behavior
A verbal behavior that has one source of antecedent control (e.g., a mand that is only controlled by an MO or a tact that is only controlled by a nonverbal
