BST1011 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Reinforcement, Stimulus Control
Document Summary
Reinforcing one response class while withholding reinforcement for another. Reinforcers need to be consistent and immediate: identi ed from preference assessment and fa (what consequence maintains the problem behaviour, use this as reinforcement for the alternative, concurrent schedule of reinforcement: crf for alternative, extinction for problem behaviour. Dri: of incompatible behaviours: incompatible behaviour already exists in repertoire. Emitted at rate that provides su cient opportunities for reinforcement: behaviour that cannot occur with problem behaviour, withhold reinforcement for instances of problem behaviour. Dro: of zero rates (omission training) of behaviour: time-dependent schedule, reinforcement is delivered following a period of time during which a given response has not occurred, fixed-interval, variable interval, xed-momentary, variable-momentary, gradually increase the interval of inhibition. Based on time, interval proportions, learner"s performance (criterion) Extend to other settings and times of day. Drl: of low rates of behaviour: used to decrease rate of behaviour that occurs frequently, but not to eliminate it entireley (eating, rate of speech)
