Self-evaluation
In self-management procedures, this is the process of assessing one’s own progress by comparing self-monitoring data to a pre-determined criterion.
Self-instruction
A self-management procedure that involves providing oneself with verbal instructions (covert or overt) to prompt one’s own desired behaviors.
Self-management
Behavior analytic procedures that target one’s own behavior by defining the desired target response (controlled response), programming behaviors to help evoke that desired target response (controlling response), and arranging reinforcers
Self-management (in programming for generalization)
A method to program for generalization that involves teaching the client self-management behaviors that will enable them to prompt and reinforce their own target behavior.

Self-monitoring
In self-management procedures, this is the process of systematically recording data on one’s own behavior.
Sequence effects
A confounding effect on a subject’s behavior in a given condition that results from the subject’s experience with a previous condition.
Setting confounds
Any uncontrolled variables in the treatment setting that could impact the outcomes and/or the effectiveness of an intervention and therefore the internal validity of the experiment.
Setting events
An internal or external antecedent event or condition (e.g., motivating operation) that has an influence on the occurrence of a specific behavior.

Shaping
A strategy for teaching novel behaviors using successive approximations to a terminal response, which are differentially reinforced until the client is able to differentiate the terminal response from the successive
Shaping across response topographies
A shaping method in which each successive approximation varies in form from the other approximations and the ultimate terminal response.
