Reinforcement:Reinforcement refers to any consequence that follows a behavior and increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again. In the case of attention-seeking behavior, receiving attention from others acts as reinforcement.
Positive Punishment:Positive punishment involves adding an aversive stimulus after an unwanted behavior occurs in order to decrease the likelihood of that behavior happening again. This can be applied when attention-seeking behaviors are disruptive.
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA): FBA is a process used to understand the purpose or function of a behavior by analyzing the antecedents (triggers) and consequences that maintain the behavior. It helps identify effective interventions for addressing attention-seeking behaviors.
