Behavioral Teaching Techniques Quiz

Positive reinforcement aims to strengthen desired behaviors by presenting positive stimuli following a behavior.

Shaping involves rewarding successive approximations toward a target behavior to achieve the desired outcome.

Token economies utilize tokens that can be exchanged for desired rewards to reinforce positive behaviors.

ABA emphasizes analyzing behaviors and using reinforcement techniques to bring about desired changes.

Prompting involves providing cues or assistance to initiate a behavior until it can be performed independently.

BIPs outline strategies and interventions to address challenging behaviors, providing a systematic approach to support individuals.

Positive punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus following a behavior to decrease its occurrence.

Extinction involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, resulting in its decrease or cessation.

Generalization refers to the application of learned behaviors across various settings or contexts.
