Q

To apply a fixed-interval DRO (FI-DRO) procedure

A

(a) establishes an interval of time;
(b) delivers reinforcement at the end of that interval if the problem did not occur during the interval; and
(c) upon any occurrence of the problem behavior, immediately re-sets the timer to begin a new interval.

Q

Fixed-momentary DRO (FM-DRO) and variable- momentary DRO (VM-DRO) schedules use the same pro- cedures as interval DRO (FI-DRO, VI-DRO) except that ___________ ____ ______________ ___ ___ _______ ________ ____ ______ _____ _________ _____, rather than through- out the entire interval as with the whole-interval DRO.

A

Reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior only when each interval ends

Q

When reinforcement is applied in this manner as an intervention to reduce the occurrences of a target behavior, the procedure is called Differential reinforcement of ___ ______.

A

Differential reinforcement of low rates (DRL)

17
Q

Three DRL procedures:

A

Full-session DRL,
Interval DRL, and
Spaced-responding DRL.

18
Q

Reinforcement is delivered at the end of an instructional or treatment session if during the entire session the target behavior occurred at a number equal to or below a predetermined criterion

A

Full-Session DRL

19
Q

The practitioner divides a total session into a series of equal intervals of time and provides reinforcement at the end of each interval in which the number of occurrences of the problem behavior during that interval is equal to or below a criterion limit.

A

Interval DRL

20
Q

The practitioner delivers a reinforcer following an occurrence of a response that is separated by at least a
minimum amount of time from the previous response.

A

Spaced-Responding DRL
