Behavior trap
A method to program for generalization and maintenance during instruction that involves bringing a target behavior under the control of natural reinforcers by exposing the behavior to those reinforcers.
G.15 Design and evaluate procedures to promote stimulus and response generalization.

Dana Do’s: Relating, Framing and Equating
Relating, framing and equating. PTB co-founder Dana Meller drills into the generalizability of relational frame theory, equivalence-based instruction, and stimulus equivalence. Would you believe they all go together?
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections B-15: Define and provide examples of derived stimulus relations; G-21: Use procedures to promote stimulus and response generalization; G-12: Use equivalence-based instruction.

General case analysis
A method to program for generalization during instruction that involves teaching the client all the different stimulus variations of a particular SD and the subsequent response variations for those stimuli.
Indiscriminable contingencies
A method to program for generalization during instruction that includes the use of intermittent and delayed reinforcement contingencies that parallel natural contingencies.
Mediation
A method to program for generalization during instruction that involves teaching the individuals present in a client’s life (parents, employers) to help maintain and generalize new skills outside of treatment
Multiple exemplar training
A method to program for generalization during instruction that involves teaching a variety of response and stimulus options to facilitate the acquisition of untrained responses in the presence of novel
Negative teaching examples
A method to program for generalization during instruction that involves teaching the client to generalize and discriminate the settings, times, and conditions in which it is not appropriate to display
Program common stimuli
A method to program for generalization during instruction that ensures the SDs used in the instructional setting are similar or the same as those used in the generalization setting/natural environment.
Self-management (in programming for generalization)
A method to program for generalization that involves teaching the client self-management behaviors that will enable them to prompt and reinforce their own target behavior.

Train loosely
A method to program for generalization during instruction that involves broadening the variety of the non-critical aspects of the SD, like the environmental variables (people, locations) that have nothing to
