BST1011 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Sleep Deprivation, Reinforcement, Stimulus Control
Document Summary
Make target behaviour more or less e ortful. Contingency-dependent antecedents event: sds evoke behaviour because of their reinforcement history. Contingency-independent antecedent: antecedent a ects the behaviour-consequence relationship (mo, sleep deprivation, hunger, ncr, high ps, fct. Potent reinforcers are used to enrich the environment: if the environment is rich with reinforcement, the problem behaiour will not be demonstrated (abolishing operation, reduces the motivation to engage in the problems behaviour. Procedures: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, automatic reinforcement. Wednesday, april 1, 2020: amount and quality of reinforcer, include extinction (no reinforcement for problem behaviour, varying reinforcement (fba, preference assessment) Tips: increase delivery of stimuli (higher rate of reinforcement than baseline delivery, combine dro with ncr. Clinical guidelines: identify the function of problem behaviour, procede access to reinforcement ncr, fade the schedule of reinforcement. Continuous reinforcement should only be implemented for a short period of time before being faded to natural ecological levels: combine ncr with other intervention (dro, fct)
