Document Summary
Reinforcement delivered for desirable behavior (to replace the problem behavior) while using extinction for problem behavior. E. g. , rei(cid:374)for(cid:272)i(cid:374)g (cid:272)hildre(cid:374)"s shari(cid:374)g (cid:894)(cid:449)ith (cid:272)o(cid:374)ti(cid:374)ued play ti(cid:373)e(cid:895) to replace fighting (terminate play time) How to use dra: define target behavior to increase and the undesirable competing behavior(s) to decrease, identify the reinforcer for the problem behavior, choose a reinforcer for the desirable behavior. How to identify reinforcers: ask, observe, test (single stimulus preference assessment; paired stimulus preference assessment; multiple stimulus preference assessment) How to use (cont. : reinforce desirable behavior immediately and continuously, prompt if necessary. 2: desirable behavior should require less response effort than the problem behavior, greater magnitude of reinforcement for desirable behavior, eliminate (or minimize) the reinforcer for undesirable behavior(s, use intermittent reinforcement for maintenance. *fade artificial reinforcers to natural reinforcers to help maintain. Dnra (differential negative reinforcement of alternative behavior: negative reinforcement, instead of positive. Aka differential reinforcement for zero rates of behavior.
