ABSTRACT

Behavioral momentum capitalizes on the use of a series of quickly delivered high-probability instructions (e.g., low-effort behavior) before the delivery of a low-probability instruction to improve compliance. Interventions utilizing behavioral momentum have been shown to be effective at improving the behavior of individuals with various diagnoses and in various settings. This chapter presents a case study illustrating the use of behavioral momentum to improve compliance with teacher instructions with an elementary student in a general education classroom setting.
