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.
Planned model
In imitation training, this is the model established in advance for the purpose of helping a person develop certain skills by observing others perform a behavior.
Point-to-point correspondence
A concept in verbal behavior wherein the beginning, middle, and end of the controlling stimulus (verbal SD) content match the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal behavior content.
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
Positive punishment
A process that occurs when the addition of a stimulus immediately following a behavior results in a decrease in the future frequency of that behavior.
Positive reinforcement
A process that occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that and similar behaviors under similar conditions.
Positive reinforcement extinction
A process where the maintaining positive reinforcer no longer follows a specific behavior, resulting in that behavior decreasing and eventually ceasing.
Post reinforcement pause
A pause in responding that follows the delivery of reinforcement on fixed interval or fixed ratio schedules of reinforcement.
Practice effects
Refers to an improvement in responding from the opportunity to practice a behavior, specifically during prolonged baseline measurement periods.
