What's Getting Reinforced?

Behind every behavior plan is one call: after what you just did, which behavior gets stronger — the one you're trying to build, or the challenging one? Designed as deliberate practice in making that call. Read the moment, decide, see the why.

The categories

The behavior you want — The reward (attention, a break, a token, the item) followed the behavior the plan is trying to build — so that's what gets stronger.
The problem behavior — The reward followed the challenging behavior itself — the behavior just got whatever it was after (attention, escape, the item) — so that behavior gets stronger, however unintentionally.
