Ratio strain
When challenging behaviors reemerge because of an abruptly thinned reinforcement schedule.
G. Behavior-Change Procedures
Redundancy prompt
A stimulus prompt that helps a learner make a correct discrimination by pairing the correct choice with one or more stimulus or response dimensions (e.g., color, size, shape).
Reflexivity
Refers to the trained response of matching a stimulus to an identical stimulus and then matching the two stimuli in reverse without additional training. (i.e., If A=A, then A=A)

Relational frame theory (RFT)
A behavior analytic approach to language which aims to connect and understand the relationship between language and derived stimulus relations. The theory hypothesizes that learned behavior is acquired through a

Reprimand
A positive punishment procedure that involves providing vocal negative or corrective feedback following the occurrence of an undesirable behavior.
Response block
Physically intervening to interrupt and prevent a response from occurring. Hint: When the behavior is prevented from occurring by the addition of the thing that “blocks” it, it cannot occur
Response cost
A loss of a specific amount of reinforcement that is contingent on a challenging behavior.
Response differentiation
The emergence of the target novel behavior produced by differential reinforcement, during a shaping procedure, in which the reinforced members of the desired response class occur more often and the

Response interruption and redirection (RIRD)
A positive punishment procedure that involves presenting demands, prompts, or distractions to interrupt and redirect repetitive, stereotypic, and self-injurious behaviors.
Response prompts
A temporary antecedent stimulus in the form of verbal instruction, a model, or physical support that is delivered close in time with the relevant SD to help the client engage
Response-deprivation hypothesis (RDH)
The belief that any behavior can act as a reinforcer if access to that behavior is restricted. In practice, this occurs when deprivation of a certain activity, achieved by making it
