Delayed feedback
Feedback that is delivered at some time after the observation, because immediate feedback was not feasible (e.g., to avoid work interruption or the supervisor had other responsibilities), or appropriate (e.g.,… Read more
Delayed multiple baseline design
A variation of the multiple baseline design in which all of the baselines do not begin at the same time, instead additional participant baselines are added to the study as
Delays to reinforcement schedule
A variation of basic intermittent schedules of reinforcement in which reinforcement for correct responding is delayed for the purpose of teaching self-control, tolerance of delayed gratification, functional communication, etc.

Description
The first level of scientific understanding which involves deriving quantifiable and classifiable facts (data) from systematically observed events.
Descriptive FBA
A direct assessment, requiring direct observation of a behavior in naturally occurring conditions, to identify the environmental events associated with the behavior in order to hypothesize a function.
6th Edition TCO
Determinism
A philosophical assumption underlying the science of behavior analysis that the world is an orderly, predictable, and lawful place where all events occur as a product of cause and effect.

Differential negative reinforcement of incompatible or alternative behavior (DNRI & DNRA)
A differential reinforcement procedure used to reduce or eliminate challenging behavior that involves withholding negative reinforcement for the occurrence of the challenging behavior and providing negative reinforcement for a functionally
