Generalized Reinforcer: “When a reinforcer is associated with a variety of behaviors or with access to a variety of other primary or secondary reinforcers” Token Reinforcer: “Symbolic representations exchangeable for some reinforcer of value to students” Social Reinforcer: A secondary reinforcer used almost unconsciously and unsystematically by teachers and includes demonstrations of approval or attention.

Schedules of Reinforcement Continuous (CRF): Delivery of reinforcement on a continuous basis Intermittent: Requires greater numbers of correct responses for reinforcement. Delivered under two schedules: ratio schedules and interval schedules. Ratio Schedule:The number of times a target behavior occurs determines the timing of reinforcer delivery. (Fixed/Variable) Interval Schedule: The occurrence of at least one correct response plus the passage of a specific amount of time. (Fixed/Variable) Response-Duration: The continuous amount of time of a target behavior determines the delivery of a reinforcer.
