Spontaneous Recovery

20
Q

3 strategies to minimize unwanted effects of EXT

bx occurred at that exact moment

A

Momentary DRO

30
Q

Progressively greater amount of SR delivered

for each interval criterion met

A

Progressive DRO

31
Q

9 common DRO mistakes

A

DRO interval above average IRT
Failing to reset timer if problem bx occurs
Inconsistent and extra criteria for problem bx
Accidentally reinforcing other problem bx
Reinforcing “dead person’s” bx
Failing to select a competing reinforcer

with the target bx

A
