Chapter 22- Differential Reinforcement

Question 1

DRI- differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior

Answer 1

A procedure in which behavior is reinforced that cannot occur simultaneously with the problem behavior and after instances of the problem behavior reinforcement is withheld

Question 2

DRL-differential reinforcement of low rates

Answer 2

Delivering a reinforcer following a response that has been preceded by increasingly longer intervals of time without a response to reduce the occurrences of a target behavior

Question 3

DRO-differential reinforcement of other behavior

Answer 3

A procedure in which reinforcement is delivered whenever the problem behavior has not occurred during or at specific times

Question 4

Fixed-interval DRO

Answer 4

A procedure in which reinforcement is available at the end of intervals of a predetermined duration and delivered contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during each interval.

Upon any occurrence of the problem behavior the timer is reset to begin a new interval

Question 5

Fixed-momentary DRO

Answer 5

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

Question 6

Full-session DRL

Answer 6

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

Question 7

Interval DRL

Answer 7

A total session is divided into a series of equal intervals of time and reinforcement is provided at the end of each interval in which the number of occurrences of the problem behavior during the interval is equal to or below a criterion level

Question 8

Spaced-responding DRL

Answer 8

A procedure for which a reinforcer is delivered following an occurrence of a behavior that is separated by at least a minimum amount of time from the previous response behavior

Question 9

Variable-interval DRO

Answer 9

Reinforcement is delivered contingent on the absence of the targeted problem behavior during intervals of varying and unpredictable durations

Question 10

Variable-momentary DRO

Answer 10

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

Question 11

DRA- differential reinforcement of alternative behavior

Answer 11

A procedure in which occurrences of a behavior that provide a desirable alternative to problem behavior but not necessarily incompatible with it are reinforced
