  5. Autism Therapy Session Reinforcement • Increase probability of behavior • Reinforcer qualities • Factors influencing effectiveness: • Immediacy • Consistency • Contingency

  6. Extinction • Decrease probability of behavior • Removal of reward • Factors influencing effectiveness • Immediacy, consistency, contingency • Side effects • Extinction burst • Low to zero levels of responding

  7. Shaping • Differential reinforcement of successive approximations • Reward behaviors that more closely resemble desired behavior • Task Analysis • Break behavior in small steps

  8. Animal Application • Animal Behavior Research • Husbandry Training

  9. Conclusion Valuable application of learning principles Selecting Stimulus as Reinforcer
