<Li> Only a low - effort response already in the repertoire is necessary to enter the trap </Li> <Li> Interrelated contingencies of reinforcement inside the trap motivate the person to acquire, extend, and maintain targeted academic / social skills </Li> <Li> They can remain effective for long periods of time because the person shows few, if any, satiation effects </Li> <P> As can be seen from the above, artificial reinforcement is in fact created to build or develop skills, and to generalize, it is important that either a behavior trap is introduced to "capture" the skill and utilize naturally occurring reinforcement to maintain or increase it . This behavior trap may simply be a social situation that will generally result from a specific behavior once it has met a certain criterion (e.g., if you use edible reinforcers to train a person to say hello and smile at people when they meet them, after that skill has been built up, the natural reinforcer of other people smiling, and having more friendly interactions will naturally reinforce the skill and the edibles can be faded). </P>
