Situation-specific reward
What is a situation-specific reward?
A situation-specific reward rewards a behavior in one context but not another. The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy also calls this discrimination training.
Example
A coffee shop could offer a reward for purchases made before 8 a.m., while offering none for the same purchases later. The time of the visit determines whether the reward is available.
The taxonomy identifies this as technique 14.6. The context-dependent rule defines the technique. Whether it changes visits requires separate evidence.
