Document Summary
Behavioural analysts move from non-aversive to aversive treatments. It is incorrect to say, adding breakfast decreases aggression . Keep in mind that breakfast provides a meal to the belly and allows the individual to be full. This may make their mood better and feel nice. Having people not around the aggressor will decrease aggression to others. Make sure the specific sd is present, if you want specific behaviours to occur. Know the 6 differences (below of selections, present sd, increase response cost, etc). He does it when he is given transition/work related tasks. Three strategies to increase desirable behaviour: present the sd/que for the desirable behaviour. If the sd is available, the behaviour is more likely to occur: present the eo for the desirable bx (establishing operations) Eo makes the reinforcer for desirable behaviours more likely to happen. Ex: no snacks before meal time = deprivation of food.
