reinforcing a behavior that cannot occur at the same time as problem behavior
teaching a chain by starting with the first step
a reliable relation between behavior and an environmental variable
a verbal operant evoked by a verbal stimulus without point-to-point correspondence
a schedule in which reinforcement is delivered for some, but not all, occurrences of behavior
recording all instances of behavior
time between a stimulus and the start of a response
a verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal stimulus and followed by generalized reinforcement
shaping that changes a dimension of the same response form
the variable deliberately manipulated
adding an extra feature to make the correct stimulus stand out
intermediate steps toward the final response
behavior mediated by a listener
teaching procedures designed to prevent learner errors
a single-case experimental design that verifies effects by reversing conditions
a more salient stimulus interferes with learning about another
a verbal operant in which the form of the response has point-to-point correspondence but no formal similarity to a verbal stimulus
gradual unintended changes in how an intervention is implemented
a single-case experimental design that demonstrates control by systematically changing performance criteria
repeated demonstration of the same effect
