Psyc 428 Test 4 Flashcards
4 misuses of extinction
- Labeling any decrease of behavior as extinction
- confusing forgetting with extinction
- response blocking and extinction
- NCR as extinction
5 response Dimensions that effect extinction
Rate Duration Magnitude Latency Variability
Things to warn parents about extinction
- Behavior will not decrease immediately
- Behavior will increase before it decreases (extinction burst)
- Behavior will come back later after extinction has already taken place
- There will be variability of behavior.
3 antecedent interventions
- NCR as positive reinforcement
- NCR as negative reinforcement
- NCR as automatic reinforcement
Circular explanation
The evidence for the explanation is the same as the behavior to be explained.
The evidence for frustration is tantruming.
DRI
Reinforcing behaviors that are topographically incompatible with the problem behavior
DRA
Reinforcing behaviors that are a desirable alternative to the problem behavior.
DRO
Delivering reinforcement whenever the problem behavior has not occurred during or at a specific time.
DR of zero responding
omission training
DRL
Delivering reinforce when the problem behavior occurs less then a predetermined criterion.
Interval
Spaced responding
