Non-Contingent Reinforcement

This is providing reinforcement to a client regardless of behavior. This will act as an abolishing operation on the reinforcer. For example, providing a client 5 minutes of attention every hour, this will make is less likely for the client to engage in maladaptive behaviors for attention. Providing a client 5 minutes of screen time every hour, will make is less likely for the client to engage in maladaptive behaviors for screen time. Providing a client a 5 minute break every hour, will make it less likely for the client to engage in maladaptive behaviors to escape something aversive.
