| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| Environmental variable that alters the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus and the frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus | Motivating Operation |
| Sequence of responses where each response serves as a reinforcer for the preceding response and an SD for the next | Behavioral Chain |
| Reinforcing one response class and withholding reinforcement for another | Differential Reinforcement |
| When a procedure to decrease behavior under one condition leads to an increase in the same behavior under another condition | Behavioral Contrast |
| Individuals will choose to engage in behavior that has the highest rate of reinforcement under a concurrent schedule of reinforcement | Matching Law |
| An environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest | Antecedent |
| A stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest | Consequence |
| Various methods for linking specific sequences of responses to form new responses | Chaining |
| A procedure for transferring stimulus control in which features of an antecedent stimulus are gradually changed to a new stimulus | Fading |
| A behavior change system in which participants earn tokens for emitting target behaviors and exhange earned tokens for backup reinforcers | Token Economy |
| Reinforcement is delivered following a constant amount of correct responses | Fixed Ratio Schedule of Reinforcement |
| Reinforcement is delivered following an average amount of correct responses | Variable Ratio Schedule of Reinforcement |
| Reinforcement is delivered following the first correct response after a constant amount of time | Fixed Interval Schedule of Reinforcement |
