Generalization and Maintenance
200

An instructional arrangement in which the target behavior is controlled by given or structured opportunities to respond.

Discrete Trial Setting

200

This is something that occurs before the antecedent and impacts the strength of the consequence.

Motivating Operation

200

Increasing the likelihood of a behavior happening again after removing an aversive stimulus is called..

Negative Reinforcement

200

Earning conditioned reinforcers for specific target behaviors, then exchanging them for a stronger / more valuable reinforcer, is called..

Token Economy

200

This occurs when a learner continues a target behavior after intervention or treatment has been partially or completely removed.

Maintenance

400

An instructional arrangement in which explicit instruction is provided in the same environment in which the target behavior should occur

Naturalistic Teaching Arrangements

400

This occurs when you highlight a physical dimension of a stimulus and then gradually decrease it.

Stimulus Fading

400

A previously neutral stimulus paired with a reinforcing stimulus becomes this over time.

Conditioned Reinforcer

400

This strategy involves stating contingencies to all individuals - each individual that meets the contingency accesses the promised reinforcer.

Independent Group Contingency

400

This is when a behavior was taught under a specific stimulus, and the behavior is evoked by stimuli that share similar physical properties with the controlling stimulus.

STIMULUS Generalization 

600

Teaching a new skill or behavior in this type of setting is helpful because it allows the instructor to control more environmental variables, and make the important instructional variables more salient.

Discrete Trial Setting

600

Asking an individual to complete easier or mastered tasks before completing a more complex or new task is called..

High-Probability (High-P) Sequencing

600

This reinforcement procedure involves providing a reinforcer during any behavior other than the target behavior you are trying to weaken; reinforcing the absence of a target behavior.

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)

600

This is the term for personal application of behavior change tactics that produces a desired change in behavior.

Self-Management Strategy

600

This occurs when the learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the taught target behavior.

RESPONSE Generalization

800

Prompting a student to pronounce “buh” before you throw the ball is an example of this teaching arrangement.

Naturalistic

800

The stimulus that, through conditioning, indicates that the behavior that follows it will result in a specific consequence; stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement.

Discriminative Stimulus (SD)

800

Providing planned reinforcers regardless of behaviors that are occurring is called..

Non-Contingent Reinforcement (NCR)

800

If the 80% of the class responds to an email, everyone receives extra credit on the exam. This is an example of..

Interdependent Group Contingency

800

One way to promote generalization is to select behaviors that will meet ____  _____  contingencies of reinforcement.

naturally occurring 

1000

Teaching skills in this setting, or instructional arrangement, can promote generalization and maintenance because they practice the skills where they would naturally occur.

Naturalistic Teaching Arrangement

1000

This involves reinforcing "successive approximations" of a goal behavior, ensuring the learner access reinforcement early and working towards a more significant behavior change.

Shaping

1000

This is the term for the process of teaching a specific communicative behavior based on the function of a behavior you hope to weaken.

Functional Communication Training (FCT)

1000

This strategy requires one individual or a small group to meet a contingency in order for the whole group to receive a promised reward.

Dependent Group Contingency

1000

____ ____ training can promote both stimulus and response generalization. This involves exposing the learner to different antecedent stimuli and responses during instruction.
