Behavior-Change Procedures


G-1: Design and evaluate positive and negative
reinforcement procedures ©


G-2: Design and evaluate differential reinforcement (e.g., DRA,
DRO, DRL, DRH) procedures with and without extinction ©


G-3: Design and evaluate time-based reinforcement (e.g., fixed-
time) schedules ©


G-4: Identify procedures to establish and use conditioned
reinforcers (e.g., token economies) ©


G-5: Incorporate motivating operations and discriminative stimuli
into behavior-change procedures ©


G-6: Design and evaluate procedures to produce simple and
conditional discriminations ©


G-7: Select and evaluate stimulus and response prompting
procedures (e.g., errorless, most-to-least, least-to-most) ©


G-8: Design and implement procedures to fade stimulus and
response prompts (e.g., prompt delay, stimulus fading) ©


G-9: Design and evaluate modeling procedures ©


G-10: Design and evaluate instructions and rules ©


G-11: Shape dimensions of behavior ©


G-12: Select and implement chaining procedures ©


G-13: Design and evaluate trial-based and free-
operant procedures ©


G-14: Design and evaluate group contingencies ©


G-15: Design and evaluate procedures to promote stimulus and
response generalization ©


G-16: Design and evaluate procedures to maintain desired
behavior change following intervention (e.g., schedule
thinning, transferring to naturally occurring reinforcers) ©


G-17: Design and evaluate positive and negative punishment (e.g.,
time-out, response cost, overcorrection) ©


G-18: Evaluate emotional and elicited effects of behavior-
change procedures ©


G-19: Design and evaluate procedures to promote emergent
relations and generative performance ©
