- ABC Data Collection
- Collecting observable information on the events that occurred before the behavior (antecedent), what the behavior looked like (behavior), and what happened after the behavior occurred (consequence).
- Baseline
- Data taken before intervention (what the child does before teaching/intervention is given).
- Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
- Method of teaching a skill by breaking the skill down into smaller trials/steps.
- Errorless Learning
- Teaching strategy designed to minimize or prevent learner errors.
- Extinction
- Withholding reinforcement for a particular behavior that was previously reinforced.
- Fading
- Removal of prompts to promote independent correct responses.
- Generalization
- Ability to apply what is learned across different settings and people.
- Negative Punishment
- The removal of something in the environment after a behavior, that results in the behavior occurring less frequently.
- Negative Reinforcement
- The removal of something in the environment after the behavior, that results in the behavior occurring more frequently.
- Positive Punishment
- The addition of something in the environment after a behavior, that results in the behavior occurring less frequently.
- Positive Reinforcement
- The addition of something in the environment after the behavior, that results in the behavior occurring more frequently.
- Prompts
- Assistance given to learner to provide correct response.
- Punishment
- An event that occurs immediately after a behavior, that results in the behavior occurring less frequently.
- Reinforcement
- An event in the environment that occurs immediately after a behavior, that results in the behavior occurring more frequently.
- Reinforcers
- Something the individual wants to have or do.
