Week 8 Flashcards
DRO Differential Reinforcement of Other
Reinforcement contingent on complete absence of behaviour for a period of time
DRH differential Reinforcement of High Rate
Behaviour is reinforced only if occurs at least a specified number times in a given period
DRL differential reinforcement of Low Rate
Behaviour reinforced only if occurs NO More than specified number times in period
Differential reinforcement
Operant training where some behaviours reinforced, others not
DRA differential reinforcement of alternative behaviour
Desired replacement behaviour reinforced while undesired behaviour extinguished
DRI differential reinforcement of Incompatible behaviour
Behaviour incompatible w unwanted behaviour is reinforced
Smiling incompatible w frowning
DRC differential reinforcement of Communication
Communication response reinforced to replace problematic behaviour
(Child screams for attention vs politely ask for attention)
Resurgence
Reappearance during extinction of previously reinforced behaviour
(Try other behaviours that got them benefit in past, first behaviour reoccurs after second one extinguished)
Solution to Resurgence
- larger intermittent reinforcement schedule
- additional extinction sessions where alternate beh can’t occur
Single Stimulus Assessment
Potential reinforcers presented individually, most preferred option picked
Paired stimulus assessment
Potential reinforcers presented in pairs, percentage of selections picked
Multiple stimulus Assessment
All reinforcers presented and first ones picked-strongest
DNRA differential Negative reinforcement of Alternate Behaviour
Student engaging in problem behaviour being asked to do schoolwork, freaks out, he escapes schoolwork and sits by himself.
Ratio strain
Stretch schedule of reinforcement too far, too quickly
Antecedent control procedures
Manipulating controlling stimuli in environment to increase desirable behaviours/decrease undesirable behaviours
(Walking different way home to avoid Tim hortons store)
