| Systematic application of behavioral principles to change socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree. Research tools enable users of these principles to verify a functional relation between a behavior and an intervention. | Applied Behavior Analysis |
| The contingent presentation of a stimulus immediately following a response, which increases the future rate and/or probability of the response. Written as SR+. | Positive Reinforcement |
| Any observable and measurable act of an individual (also called a response). | Behavior |
| Any stimulus presented contingent on a particular response. | Consequence |
| The contingent removal of an aversive stimulus immediately following a response. Negative reinforcement increases the future rate and/or probability of the response. | Negative Reinforcement |
| The contingent presentation of a stimulus immediately following a response, which decreases the future rate and/or probability of the response. | Punishment |
| Withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior to reduce the occurrence of the behavior. | Extinction |
| Demonstrating a desired behavior in order to prompt an imitative response | Modeling |
| Teaching new behaviors through differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a specified target behavior. | Shaping |
