Social skills training is a common strategy to reduce aggression and enhance social skills in children by teaching appropriate behaviors.

Removing a privilege for misbehavior is an example of punishment, aiming to decrease the likelihood of the behavior recurring.

'ABC' stands for Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence in behavior modification, representing the elements affecting behavior.

'Extinction' in behavioral intervention refers to reducing the frequency of a behavior by removing reinforcement, causing the behavior to diminish over time.

A token economy involves providing tokens, like stickers, for completing tasks, which can be exchanged for privileges or rewards.

'Fading' refers to gradually reducing the intensity or frequency of a stimulus to shape behavior.

'Shaping' involves reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior to gradually guide behavior towards a target.

In behavior modification, 'SD' stands for Stimulus Differentiation, which involves learning to distinguish between similar stimuli and responding accordingly.

Extinction refers to a behavior occurring less frequently over time due to the absence of reinforcement.

The primary goal of behavioral intervention strategies is to eliminate undesirable behavior and encourage desirable behavior.
