Antecedent intervention
Interventions that are implemented prior to and are not contingent on behavior.
G. Behavior-Change Procedures
Antecedent-based self-management procedures
A variety of procedures used in self-management that manipulate antecedents to increase or decrease one’s own target behaviors.
Backup reinforcer
Specific preferred items or activities that can be exchanged for the earned tokens delivered in a token economy system.
Backward chaining
A chaining method in which an instructor initially completes the chain in its naturally occurring order, and then the individual is taught one step at a time, starting from the

Backward chaining with leap aheads
A variation of the backward chain in which any step in the task analysis that is already in the individual’s repertoire is not formally trained.

Behavior chain
A specific sequence of discrete responses/behaviors that, when linked together, form a terminal behavior. Each discrete response/behavior is associated with a particular stimulus condition (SD), and each response and the

Behavior chain with a limited hold
Any behavior chain with the requirement of not only being performed correctly and in order, but also within a specified period of time.

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.
Block trial
A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which different learning trials (SDs) are presented in blocks, which are gradually reduced in size contingent upon correct responding until the stimuli are presented

G-9 Use discrete-trial, free-operant, and naturalistic teaching arrangements.

G.13 Design and evaluate trial-based and free-operant procedures.
Bonus response cost
A type of response cost procedure in which additional non-contingent reinforcers are made available and are removed if the challenging behavior occurs.
Chaining
A specific collection of methods that are used to connect a specific sequence of stimuli and responses to form new behaviors.
