PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Reinforcement
Document Summary
Differential reinforcement of incompatible responding: like dro, but specifies an incompatible alternative behavio r: the undesirable behavior is not possible when, reinforcement is given for the incompatible engaged in the incompatible behavior behavior. Ex) reinforcing sitting in a chair to reduce running around the classroom. Differential reinforcement of alternate behavior of scenario (dra): extinction of a problem behavior combined with the reinforcement of a desirable behavior: recall: extinction is most effective under this kind, ex) ignoring aggressive demands from a student. Select the most appropriate schedule for decreasing the and reinforcing polite communication target behaviour. Select the reinforcer, ideally one that had been maintaining the behaviour to be reduced. Record baseline data to help decide on the initial value for the chosen schedule (i. e. , length of initial time interval, or number of allowed responses) If possible, provide instructions/information about the rules to the individual.
