What is continuous reinforcement. BONUS: When is intermittent reinforcement used?
Why behavior occurs and common reasons why problem behavior occurs.
What is the function of behavior. Obtain: Attention, Tangibles, Stimulation Avoid: Attention, Task/Situation, Stimulation

Partial Interval
Name two ways we can directly identify a student's preferred items/activities.

Continuous measurement
The therapist prompts the entire task analysis chain leaving the last step to be done independently. Once the last step is mastered independently, the client then learns to do the last two steps independently and then the last 3 steps and so on.
Backwards chaining
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior by reinforcing the absence of problem behavior during or at specific times.
