Reinforcement
This type of reinforcement increases a behavior by adding something desirable after the behavior occurs.
What is Positive Reinforcement?
This intervention changes what happens before a behavior to reduce the likelihood of problem behavior
What is Antecedent-Based Intervention?
This teaching strategy provides assistance before a behavioral response and is systematically faded as independence develops.
What is Prompting and Prompt Fading?
This reinforcement system allows learners to earn generalized conditioned reinforcers that can later be exchanged for backup reinforcers.
What is a Token Economy?
This strategy begins with several easy tasks before presenting a more difficult request to increase compliance.
What is Behavioral Momentum?
This type of reinforcement increases a behavior by removing or avoiding something unpleasant after the behavior occurs.
What is Negative Reinforcement?
Allowing a learner to choose between two activities or select which assignment to complete first is an example of this antecedent strategy.
What is Providing Choice?
This intervention replaces challenging behavior by teaching an appropriate communication response that serves the same function.
What is Functional Communication Training (FCT)?
This procedure reinforces successive approximations toward a target behavior.
What is Shaping?
An RBT encourages a learner to alternate eye contact between a toy and the therapist while playing. The therapist is teaching this important communication skill.
What is Joint Attention?
This intervention reinforces one behavior while withholding reinforcement for another behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement?
Rearranging the classroom, reducing distractions, or changing seating arrangements are examples of this intervention.
What are Environmental Modifications?
This teaching strategy uses embedded prompts to prevent mistakes and gradually fades them over time.
What is Errorless Learning?
This naturalistic intervention focuses on pivotal areas of learning (i.e. motivation, self-initiation, responsiveness to multiple cues, and self-management).
What is Pivotal Response Training (PRT)?
This gradual exposure procedure helps reduce fear or avoidance by pairing increasing exposure with relaxation or reinforcement.
What is Desensitization?
This antecedent intervention provides access to reinforcement on a fixed or variable time schedule, regardless of the learner's behavior.
What is Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR)?
Before a fire drill, a teacher explains what will happen, reviews expectations, and practices the routine. This antecedent intervention is called this.
What is Priming?
This intervention teaches individuals to monitor, record, and reinforce their own behavior.
What is Self-Management?
This teaching procedure helps learners respond differently to various stimuli based on reinforcement history.
What is Discrimination Training?
Parents, teachers, caregivers, supervisors, and other service providers are all examples of these individuals.
Who are Stakeholders?
Ethically, behavior technicians should use reinforcers that are meaningful and motivating to the individual receiving services rather than selecting rewards based on their own preferences. This can be identified using this assessment.
What is preference assessment?
This antecedent strategy uses pictures, symbols, or written cues to help learners understand expectations before a behavior occurs.
What are Visual Supports?
This intervention interrupts repetitive or inappropriate behavior and immediately redirects the learner to an appropriate alternative.
What is Response Interruption and Redirection (RIRD)?
This naturalistic intervention emphasizes imitation during play to promote language and social skills.
What is Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT)?
An RBT is asked about a client's progress by someone who is not involved in the client's services. The RBT politely declines to share information and refers the person to the appropriate team member. This ethical responsibility is being demonstrated.
What is Maintaining Confidentiality?
