Unit 5 Flashcards
3 treatments for behavior maintained by social reinforcement
Extinction (EXT)
Differential reinforcement
Non-contingent reinforcement (NCR)
Extinction procedure for behavior maintained by social reinforcement
Withholding attention or tangible item contingent on problem behavior
Extinction as a process
Decrease in a response by discontinuing response-reinforcer contingency
Extinction as a procedure
Withholding a specific reinforcer following problem behavior
Differential reinforcement
Reinforcing one response while withholding reinforcers for another
Non-contingent reinforcement (NCR)
Response-independent or time-based delivery of reinforcement
3 treatments for behavior maintained by social negative reinforcement
Extinction
Differential reinforcement
Antecedent-based interventions
Extinction procedure for behavior maintained by social negative reinforcement
Withholding escape of an aversive stimulus contingent on problem behavior
DNRO
differential negative reinforcement of other behavior
Provide escape contingent on the absence of problem behavior for a period of time
DNRA
differential negative reinforcement of alternative behavior
Provide escape from aversive stimuli contingent on appropriate alternative response
3 antecedent-based interventions for behavior maintained by social negative reinforcement
Non-contingent escape
Demand fading
Curricular (instructional) revision
3 treatments for behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement
Extinction
Differential reinforcement
Competing stimuli
Automatic reinforcement
A product of the response itself reinforces the response
Extinction procedure for behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement
Masking reinforcing sensory stimulation contingent on problem behavior
Competing stimuli
Non-contingent delivery of items found to “compete” with response products
Competing stimulus assessment
A method for identifying items that compete with the response product
Why extinction may be impractical
Difficult or not feasible to implement extinction in natural environment
DRO schedule thinning procedure
Increase duration of time in which behavior must be absent
3 DRA schedule thinning procedures
Increase time between response and reinforcer
Increase number of responses required for reinforcer access
Dense to lean fixed-interval schedule
NCR schedule thinning procedure
Increase the passage of time required for delivering the reinforcer
