behavior contrast

refers to the phenonemon in which a change in one component of multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction of the other component

response blocking

physically intervening as soon as the person begins to emit the problem BX to prevent or block the completion of the response

overcorrection

a BX reduction reduction tactic in which contingent on each occurrence of the problem behavior, the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior that is directly or logically related to the problem

restitutional overcorrection

contingent on the problem the learner is required to repair the damage caused by the problem bx by returning the enviornment to its original state and then engage in additional bx that brings the environment to better condition.

positive practice restitution

learner is required to repeatedly perform a correct form of the bx, or a specific duration of time or number of responses.
