Training skills that contact natural contingencies of reinforcement is a strategy for promoting generalization. In this example, Joel taught the parents specific things to say and do that would generate the most reinforcing responses from their children. By focusing on natural contingencies of reinforcement, the parents are more likely to use the skills in a variety of situations, leading to greater generalization.
