The phenomenon that behavior is modified by consequences, even if a person is unaware of the contingency.
B-4 Define and provide examples of positive and negative reinforcement contingencies.
B-6 Define and provide examples of positive and negative punishment contingencies.
A science based on the use of learning principles to improve socially important behavior. ABA practice focuses on assessing the environmental influences on behavior, implementing assessment-based interventions, and making data-based …

A chaining method in which an instructor initially completes the chain in its naturally occurring order, and then the individual is taught one step at a time, starting from the …
A variation of the backward chain in which any step in the task analysis that is already in the individual’s repertoire is not formally trained.

The essential reasoning of single-subject experimental designs, which consists of prediction, verification, and replication.
A large class of responses that share physical dimensions and functions and are the observable actions of a person (what they say or do), as well as their private events, …
B-1 Define and provide examples of behavior, response, and response class.
A specific sequence of discrete responses/behaviors that, when linked together, form a terminal behavior. Each discrete response/behavior is associated with a particular stimulus condition (SD), and each response and the …
Behaviors that, when acquired, result in the individual accessing new environments and, therefore, new stimulus controls and contingencies (i.e., reinforcement).
F-3 Identify and prioritize socially significant behavior-change goals.
A method to program for generalization and maintenance during instruction that involves bringing a target behavior under the control of natural reinforcers by exposing the behavior to those reinforcers.
G-21 Use procedures to promote stimulus and response generalization.
