Detailed explanation-1: -Functionally equivalent replacement behaviors are desirable/acceptable behaviors that achieve the same outcome/meet the same need as a less desirable problem behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -What exactly is a replacement behavior? A replacement behavior is often not the long-term desired behavior that a teacher wants the student to engage in but a short-term, alternative behavior that allows the student to meet their need while they are learning the skills to engage in the desired behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -A replacement behavior is a behavior you want to replace an unwanted target behavior. Focusing on the problem behavior may just reinforce the behavior, especially if the consequence (reinforcer) is attention. It also helps you teach the behavior that you want to see in the target behavior’s place.
Detailed explanation-4: -Target behavior – The student does not pay attention in class. Operational definition of the target behavior – The student looks around the room, looks at his desk, or looks at another student. Replacement behavior – The student will pay attention in class.
