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.
A type of prompt that increases the salience of the SD and calls an individual’s attention to the stimulus that directs behavior, which is gradually faded out until the correct
A method of fading stimulus prompts by starting with a stimulus that controls the desired response and systematically and gradually changing the shape of that stimulus into the SD that
The gradual and progressive changes in criteria during a shaping procedure in ABA, with each change being closer in form to the desired terminal response.

A matching-to-sample procedure where clients are taught to match sample and comparison stimuli that are symbolically related, and not physically identical.
