In this episode of Behavioral Intelligence with Mara Sánchez, we explore Domain D of the RBT 3rd Edition Task List: Behavior Reduction.

If you are studying for the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam or working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), this episode will help you clearly understand how behavior analysts reduce challenging behaviors using evidence-based procedures.

We break down the most important concepts RBTs must know, including:

• Identifying the functions of behavior

• Implementing antecedent interventions

• Using differential reinforcement procedures (DRO, DRA, DRI)

• Applying extinction procedures correctly

• Understanding positive and negative punishment procedures such as time-out

• Recognizing the secondary effects of extinction and punishment

This episode is designed to help future RBTs understand the science behind behavior change, not just memorize definitions.

Whether you are an RBT candidate, behavior technician, BCBA student, or ABA professional, this episode will strengthen your understanding of behavior reduction strategies used in clinical practice.
