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… Read more
G. Behavior-Change Procedures
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.
Graduated guidance
A type of response prompt that offers the minimal amount of physical prompting needed to occasion a correct response by having a trainer in a position to prompt immediately (if
Group contingencies
Procedures in which a pre-determined criterion for responding is established for one, some, or all of the members within a group in order for some or all of the group
6th Edition TCO
Habit reversal
A self-management procedure that involves identifying events that precede one’s own challenging behavior and engaging in alternative behaviors when those precursor events occur.
6th Edition TCO
High-probability instructional sequence
An antecedent intervention used for increasing compliance and reducing escape-maintained behaviors. It involves presenting two-to-five high-probability compliance tasks, reinforcing compliance for those tasks, and then presenting a demand less likely
Identity matching-to-sample
A matching-to-sample procedure where clients are taught to match sample and comparison stimuli that are physically identical.
Incidental teaching
A free-operant teaching methodology that takes place in a free-time setting, during which the child’s natural initiations are treated as learning opportunities to expand on the child’s current skill set.
Independent group contingencies
A procedure in which a pre-determined criterion for responding is established for all members of a group, and for an individual to contact reinforcement, that individual must meet the specific
