Unit 4 Flashcards
Concurrent schedule
2 or more schedules operating simultaneously but independently for different response
Matching law
Distribution of responding is equal to relative rate of reinforcement for each response
DR in the experimental literature
Reinforcement for 1 response while extinction for another
DR in the applied literature:
SR for 1 or more responses while
Minimizing SR, EXT, or SP for other responses
DRO: Stimulus change contingent on
Absence of specific behavior
DRO stands for
Differential reinforcement of other behavior
Interval DRO:
“Reinforcement” contingent on
Target behavior not occurring at any point during the interval
Momentary DRO:
“Reinforcement” contingent on
Target behavior not occurring at the moment the interval ends
Progressive DRO (DRO-P)
Greater amounts of “reinforcement” for successive intervals in which criterion is met
DRI:
Reinforcement contingent on
Behavior that is physically incompatible with the target behavior
DRI stands for
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
DRA:
Reinforcement contingent on
Behavior that is functionally equivalent and competes with the target behavior
DRA stands for
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
DRL stands for
Differential reinforcement of low rates of responding
DRL:
Reinforcement contingent on
Response rate equal to or lower than criterion
