BCBA Domain G
Behavior-Change Procedures
Study hub for Domain G with scenario questions, concept guides, review priorities, and common distractor traps.
How to study this domain
- 1Focus on behavior-change procedures, reinforcement systems, prompting, fading, chaining, and differential reinforcement.
- 2When reviewing missed items, match the procedure to the function, learner history, and data pattern described in the scenario.
- 3Watch for distractors that involve selecting a more intrusive or complex procedure before simpler function-based options.
High-priority concepts
high
Prompting and fading
Use prompts to occasion correct responding, then systematically fade them while reinforcing more independent responses.
highDifferential reinforcement with extinction planning
Strengthen alternative behavior while reducing reinforcement for target behavior, with attention to safety, consent, and treatment integrity.
highDiscrimination and stimulus-control teaching procedures
Use discrimination-training arrangements and trial-based or free-operant procedures to build accurate stimulus control.
highModeling, instructions, and rules
Use models, instructions, and rules as behavior-change procedures while checking whether performance contacts relevant contingencies.
highShaping, chaining, and group contingencies
Build new behavior through successive approximations, linked response chains, and group contingencies when those arrangements fit the goal and context.
highGeneralization and maintenance programming
Program behavior change to persist and occur across relevant people, settings, stimuli, and time after intervention is reduced.

Domain FAQ
What does BCBA Domain G cover?
Domain G, Behavior-Change Procedures, focuses on behavior-change procedures, reinforcement systems, prompting, fading, chaining, and differential reinforcement.
How should I study Domain G practice questions?
For this domain, match the procedure to the function, learner history, and data pattern described in the scenario. Review the explanation and wrong-choice notes after each scenario.
What is a common trap in Domain G questions?
A common distractor pattern is selecting a more intrusive or complex procedure before simpler function-based options.
