Self-evaluation
In self-management procedures, this is the process of assessing one’s own progress by comparing self-monitoring data to a pre-determined criterion.
G. Behavior-Change Procedures
Self-instruction
A self-management procedure that involves providing oneself with verbal instructions (covert or overt) to prompt one’s own desired behaviors.
6th Edition TCO
Self-management
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
6th Edition TCO
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.

Self-monitoring
In self-management procedures, this is the process of systematically recording data on one’s own behavior.

Shaping
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
6th Edition TCO
Shaping across response topographies
In ABA, a shaping method in which each successive approximation varies in form from the other approximations and the ultimate terminal response.

Shaping within response topographies
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.

Simple discriminations
Correct responding that requires discriminating one antecedent stimulus condition (SD) in which the response will produce reinforcement.
Stimulus equivalence
Defined as the untrained acquisition of a reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relation between stimuli that are in some way related.
Stimulus fading
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.
Stimulus prompt
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
