Preferred term

home-based reinforcement  

Definition

  • As parents have the greatest amount of contact with their children, home-based reinforcement is often the treatment of choice for increasing desirable child behaviors. A key requirement for home-based reinforcement is that the target behavior be both observable and precisely defined. The behavior must be observable so that the parent can directly monitor it, and it must be precisely defined so the parent and child know exactly what behaviors will lead to reinforcement.
