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

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

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.

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
