Negative teaching examples
A method to program for generalization during instruction that involves teaching the client to generalize and discriminate the settings, times, and conditions in which it is not appropriate to display… Read more
G. Behavior-Change Procedures
Non-exclusionary time out
A type of time-out procedure in which the client is kept in the time-in space but is not allowed to participate in time-in activities.
Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR)
A contingency independent antecedent intervention during which reinforcers that maintain challenging behavior are delivered on a fixed or variable schedule, thereby abolishing (AO) the motivation for the client to engage
Oddity matching-to-sample
A matching-to-sample procedure where clients are taught to match sample and comparison stimuli that are not similar to the sample stimulus (i.e., opposites).
Overcorrection
A positive punishment procedure where, contingent on an occurrence of the target behavior, the client is required to engage in an effortful behavior that is directly related to the target
Pivotal response training
A free-operant teaching methodology that capitalizes on naturally occurring MOs and environmental variables with a specific focus on building skills that produce collateral improvements in other skill areas.
Planned ignoring
A non-exclusionary time-out procedure where social reinforcers (e.g., attention, engagement in activities) are removed for a period of time contingent on challenging behavior.
Positive practice overcorrection
A positive punishment overcorrection procedure where, following the occurrence of a challenging behavior, the client is required to repeatedly perform the correct form of the behavior for a certain period
Premack Principle
A strategy that uses behavior as reinforcement by making the opportunity to engage in preferred behavior contingent on engaging in a low-preference behavior.
Program common stimuli
A method to program for generalization during instruction that ensures the SDs used in the instructional setting are similar or the same as those used in the generalization setting/natural environment.
Random rotation
A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which random mastered targets are presented in a randomized order.
5th Edition Task List
G-9 Use discrete-trial, free-operant, and naturalistic teaching arrangements.
6th Edition TCO
G.13 Design and evaluate trial-based and free-operant procedures.
Ratio strain
When challenging behaviors reemerge because of an abruptly thinned reinforcement schedule.
