CooperCH 22 differential Sr

Question 1

procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior.

Answer 1

DRI

Question 2

procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior.

Answer 2

DRA

Question 3

• A practitioner using DRI reinforces a behavior that cannot occur simultaneously with the problem behavior and withholds reinforcement following instances of the problem behavior.

Answer 3

How to use DRI

Question 4

• A practitioner using DRA reinforces occurrences of a behavior that provides a desirable alternative to the problem behavior but is not necessarily incompatible with it.

Answer 4

How to apply DRA

Question 5

whenever the problem behavior has not occurred during or at specific times.

Answer 5

When to deliver R for DRO

Question 6

reinforcement is delivered if no occurrences of the problem behavior were observed throughout the entire interval. (Any instance of the target behavior resets the interval, thereby postponing reinforcement).

Answer 6

Interval DRO

Question 7

reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior at specific point in time.

Answer 7

Momentary DRO

Question 8

• Fixed-interval DRO as an intervention for problem behaviors.

Answer 8

What most researchers use

Question 9

• Fixed-interval DRO (FI-DRO)-most applications of interval DRO apply the omission requirement at the end of successive time intervals of equal duration.
• Variable-interval DRO (FI-DRO)-when reinforcement is delivered contingent on the absence of the targeted problem behavior during intervals of varying and unpredictable durations.

Answer 9

The difference between a fixed interval and a variable interval of DRO

Question 10

schedules use the same procedures as interval DRO (FI-DRO, VI-DRO) EXCEPT that reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior ONLY when each interval ENDS, rather than throughout the entire interval as with the whole-interval DRO.

Answer 10

Difference between fixed momentary and variable momentary DRO

Question 11

schedule of reinforcement meant to decrease the rate of behaviors that occur too frequently, but should be maintained in the learner’s repertoire. Reinforces when rates are lower that a predetermined criteria, or when there is a minimum of a predetermined interresponse time between responses.

Answer 11

DRL

Question 12

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

Answer 12

Full session DRL

Question 13

practitioner divides a total session into a series of equal time intervals 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 criterion

Answer 13

Interval DRL

Question 14

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

Answer 14

Spaced responding DRL

Question 15

Technical term for the duration of time between two responses

Answer 15

Inter response time IRT
