Exam 5

Question 1

Reinforcement increases

Answer 1

frequency of desirable behavior

Question 2

punishment decreases

Answer 2

frequency of desirable behavior

Question 3

What are the types of differential reinforcement

Answer 3

DRA (alternative behavior)
DRO (other behavior)
DRL (low rates of behavior)

Question 4

What is differential reinforcement of alternative behavior

Answer 4

Differential reinforcement (EXT + S^R)
Withhold S^R for problem behavior
Provide S^R for alternative behavior

Question 5

What is ideal for an alternative behavior?

Answer 5

functionally equivalent to problem behavior (obtains same S^R as PB)

Question 6

How to identify reinforcers?

Answer 6

FBA: functional reinforcer maintaining PB
Observe
Ask
Formal preference assessments (selection based, rankings)
Formal reinforcer assessments (increase operant responses)

Question 7

How to select alternative behavior

Answer 7

already in repertoire or easy
Equal or less effort than PB
Initial provision of reinforcement should be immediate, dense schedule and high magnitude

Question 8

What are the variations of DRA

Answer 8

DNRA (differential negative reinforcement of alternative behavior)
FCT (functional communication training)
DRI (differential reinforcement of incompatible Bx)

Question 9

What is DNRA

Answer 9

Functionally equivalent escape response
Desirable Bx produces escape/avoidance of aversive stimulus
Undesirable Bx does not produce escape/avoidance

Question 10

What is FCT

Answer 10

Functionally equivalent communicative response

Question 11

What is DRI

Answer 11

Topographically incompatible, physically cannot happen at the same time

Question 12

What is DRO

Answer 12

Reinforce all other behavior besides the PB, reinforcement of the absence of PB
Reinforce the absence of PB during specific interval of time
No specific alternative behavior reinforced
