Equivalence-based instruction (EBI)
An instructional method based on stimulus equivalence. It maximizes the effectiveness of teaching because a client is directly taught certain targets in such a way that they are able to… Read more
G. Behavior-Change Procedures
Errorless learning techniques
A method for teaching new skills in a way that prevents or minimizes client errors (e.g., prompting, prompt fading, decreasing response effort, etc.) to ensure that the client emits the
Exclusionary time-out
A type of time-out procedure in which the client is removed from the reinforcing (time-in) setting.
Existing cache response cost
A type of response cost procedure in which challenging behavior results in the removal of previously earned reinforcers.
Expanded trial
A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which mastered targets are presented as distractors alongside currently targeted SDs.
Explore the Reinforcement Procedure Most Similar to Precision Teaching
Test your understanding of behavior-change procedures and ABA educational methodologies with PTB founder Dana Meller as she reviews the specific differential reinforcement procedure most closely connected to precision teaching. Here, Dana provides a concise overview of the individualized instructional method, its focus on fluency-building, and some key aspects of the methodology.

Fixed time (FT)
A time-based schedule of noncontingent reinforcement delivery. It sets a fixed amount of time between the delivery of noncontingent reinforcers.
Forward chaining
A chaining method that involves teaching the behavior chain one step at a time, in its naturally occurring order, starting with the first step. The process involves moving on to
6th Edition TCO
Free-operant behavior
A response class that is free to occur and can occur at any time because it is not bound by the control of SDs or prompts.
Free-operant teaching
A teaching methodology in which the SD is part of the natural environment, and responding doesn’t depend on a directive, prompt, or SD presented by a trainer. Appropriate behaviors are
Functional communication training (FCT)
A differential reinforcement procedure that trains an alternative communication response to replace a functionally-equivalent challenging behavior.
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.
