Random rotation

A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which random mastered targets are presented in a randomized order.

Random rotation Read More

Naturalistic teaching

A teaching methodology that involves embedding learning opportunities into ongoing, every day activities by capitalizing on the EOs in natural contexts and choice-making, focusing on client interest and initiations.

Naturalistic teaching Read More

Mass trial

A procedure in discrete-trial teaching during which the same learning trial (SD) for an acquisition skill is presented several times in a row.

Mass trial Read More

Inter-trial interval

In discrete-trial teaching, this is the period (approximately 5 seconds) that comes between the consequence and the next SD, indicating the end of one trial and the forthcoming trial.

Inter-trial interval Read More

Free-operant teaching

A teaching methodology in which the SD is part of the natural environment, and responding doesn’t depend on a directive, prompt, or SD presented by a trainer. Appropriate behaviors are

Free-operant teaching Read More

Free-operant behavior

A response class that is free to occur and can occur at any time because it is not bound by the control of SDs or prompts.

Explore the Reinforcement Procedure Most Similar to Precision Teaching

Test your understanding of behavior-change procedures and ABA educational methodologies with PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she reviews the specific differential reinforcement procedure most closely connected to Precision Teaching. Here, Dana provides a concise overview of the individualized instructional method, its focus on fluency-building, and some key aspects of the methodology.

Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Sections B-5: Define and provide examples of schedules of reinforcement; G-9: Use discrete-trial, free-operant, and naturalistic teaching arrangements, and G-14: Use reinforcement procedures to weaken behavior (e.g., DRA, FCT, DRO, DRL, NCR).
