Emergent stimulus relations
Untrained stimulus relations (e.g., responses to stimuli) that develop following the training of other stimulus relations.

Errorless learning techniques
A method for teaching new skills in a way that prevents or minimizes client errors (e.g., prompting, prompt fading, decreasing response effort, etc.) to ensure that the client emits the
