(NCR) is a strategy in applied behavior analysis (ABA) that involves providing reinforcement to an individual on a time-based schedule, regardless of their actions. The goal of NCR is to reduce the likelihood of problematic behaviors by making them unnecessary. NCR is often used to treat behaviors such as aggression, disruption, and self-injurious behavior.

noncontingent reinforcement

when you are trying to restrict the variety of SDrs that evoke the target behavior

discrimination

Asking your student to complete several simple tasks before attempting to complete a more challenging one

Behavior Momentum

this is a phenomenon in which the behavior is controlled by one or more non-relevant stimuli

stimulus overselectivity

a cognitive distortion that involves making a broad assumption about something based on limited experience

Over-Generalizations

antecedent events that change the value of of the consequence along with the immediate discriminative stimulus

Motivating Operation

A stimulus that cues a behavior because it was previously reinforced.

Discriminative Stimuli

the repeated reinforcement of a behavior every time it happens

continuous reinforcement

A behavioral procedure that's used to treat problem behaviors that are maintained by automatic reinforcement

Response Redirection

intervention which temporarily reduces the complexity of the task involves interspersing easier tasks or items among those that are more challenging

Interspersal technique

behavioral intervention that reduces interfering behaviors in people

Response interruption

a structured way to motivate a child to complete a task by presenting a clear sequence of events

First-Then Statement

A schedule where a desired behavior is only sometimes reinforced, rather than every time

Intermittent Reinforcement

A narrative and illustration that describes different social situations that also includes self help skills and how to act in it.

Social story

prompt the occurrence of imitating the modeled target behavior

Modeling

is a behavioral intervention that structures and sequences activities to increase the frequency of adaptive behaviors and reduce avoidance. It is used to promote consistent engagement in goal-directed actions, often addressing deficits in motivation or reinforcing desired behaviors.

Activity Schedule

The behavior occurs rapidly, smoothly, and with little effort.

Fluency

giving a response that is somewhat different from the response originally learned to that stimulus

Response generalization

is the performance level at which the individual is able to attain consistent success

Functional skill level

the response stays the same, but the stimulus or stimuli changes

Stimulus generalization

exists when the client's behavior occurs smoothly, rapidly, and with little apparent effort

Response fluency

Is a form of non-exclusionary time-out that requires pairing reinforcement with an object. A ribbon on the child's wrist that would not naturally lead to reinforcement
