A self-management procedure used to reduce anxieties and phobias that involves substituting muscle relaxation for challenging behaviors. Anxiety or fear-provoking events are ranked on an intensity scale and gradually exposed… Read more
Self-directed systematic desensitization Read More
In self-management procedures, this is the process of assessing one’s own progress by comparing self-monitoring data to a pre-determined criterion.
A self-management procedure that involves providing oneself with verbal instructions (covert or overt) to prompt one’s own desired behaviors.
Behavior analytic procedures that target one’s own behavior by defining the desired target response (controlled response), programming behaviors to help evoke that desired target response (controlling response), and arranging reinforcers
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.
Self-management (in programming for generalization) Read More
In self-management procedures, this is the process of systematically recording data on one’s own behavior.
In ABA, shaping is a strategy for teaching novel behaviors using successive approximations to a terminal response, which are differentially reinforced until the client is able to differentiate the terminal
In ABA, a shaping method in which each successive approximation varies in form from the other approximations and the ultimate terminal response.
Shaping across response topographies Read More
In ABA, a shaping method in which the response form of each successive approximation remains the same, but some other measurable dimension is being trained.
Shaping within response topographies Read More
Correct responding that requires discriminating one antecedent stimulus condition (SD) in which the response will produce reinforcement.
Defined as the untrained acquisition of a reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relation between stimuli that are in some way related.
A method of fading stimulus prompts by systematically and gradually lessening or removing them until control of an individual’s behavior transfers to the SD.
