Lesson 3 - differential reinforcement

Question 1

what is differential reinforcement?

Answer 1

reinforcing 1 desirable response + withholding reinforcement for another undesirable response

Question 2

What are the 4 ways to conduct differential reinforcement?

Answer 2

differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA), of incompatible bx (DRI), of other bx (DRO), of low rates (DRL)

Question 3

What is DRA?

Answer 3

differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
- teaching different functional behavior
ex. When Tom looks away when presented with task, instead of making him continue to do the task we teach him to ask for a break

Question 4

What is DRI?

Answer 4

differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
-reinforcing behavior that is not topographically compatible with the target behavior
ex. reinforcing Sue when she sits instead of running away

Question 5

What is DRO?

Answer 5

differential reinforcement of other behavior
- reinforcing every other behavior except for target behavior

Question 6

What is DRL?

Answer 6

differential reinforcement of low rates
- teaching they can do the bx at low rates
ex. you can blow a raspberry 2 times but not 3 or more

Question 7

What is a behavior intervention plan?

Answer 7

information on kiddo intervention, problem behavior +operational definition, function, antecedent, etc.
AKA behavior reduction plan
