Answer #1

Natural Maintaining Contingencies

One of the most important aspects of generalization and maintainence is to help the student learn skills that they will receive reinforcement for in their natural environment. Over time, our students cannot (and should not) have someone behind them ready to reinforce them for demonstration of a skill. The skill itself has to be rewarding to them within their environment. For example, teaching a student how to socialize with his peers becomes reinforcing when performed correctly because he/she will get positive attention within that interaction.
