Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key concept: Interventions that manipulate the value of consequences are designed to change how reinforcing or punishing a consequence is, which affects behavior.
Recall that shaping procedures involve reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior, not directly manipulating consequence value.
Recognize that prompting strategies are cues or hints to encourage a behavior, rather than altering consequence value.
Know that extinction techniques involve withholding reinforcement to reduce a behavior, but do not manipulate the value of consequences themselves.
Identify that 'Motivating operations' are environmental events or conditions that temporarily alter the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher, thus manipulating the value of consequences.
