What are the Four Functions of Behavior
When something is REMOVED immediately after the behavior resulting in the behavior occurring more often in the future.
Negative reinforcement
This is commonly referred to as “ABC”
What is Antecedent Behavior Consequence
procedure in which a reinforcer is presented after a specified amount of time has passed, regardless of the behavior occurring. NCR is often used to reduce a problem behavior
Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR)
What is planned ignoring?
As long as there is no safety hazard to the student or anyone else, the adults plan to ignore the behavior by giving no eye contact, no verbal directions and stopping any reinforcement that is occurring.
This can be primary or secondary reinforcement. Primary reinforcement uses edible items to positively reinforce behavior quickly and frequently. Secondary reinforcement uses toys or preferred items to reinforce behavior less frequently than primary but for a longer amount of time.
What is a consistent Tangible Reinforcement
items that the individual enjoys, but will not necessarily work for it. Preferred items do not necessarily INCREASE the future frequency of the behavior
Preferred items
Social reinforcement (good job!, high five, etc.) to reinforce preferred behavior in an effort to decrease problem behavior. This can be combined with consistent tangible reinforcement.
Positive behavior support
allows students to work for a preferred activity or access to a preferred item using a visual support
