Document Summary

Note to students: you will not be responsible for information on drl. Dro (differential reinforcement of other behavior): a schedule in which reinforcement is delivered for: the nonoccurrence of the target behavior. Same effects as extinction, reinforce for not responding. Drl (differential reinforcement of low rates of behavior): a schedule in which reinforcement is delivered if: target behavior does not exceed a certain value. Want to use when the problem isn"t the behavior itself, but the amount of times it occurs. Dra (differential reinforcement of alternative behavior): a schedule in which reinforcement is delivered for: occurrence of an alternative r (alt r). Differential reinforcement of other behavior (dro) (always interval schedule) 0: consequence for not r: maintaining the same reinforcer (functional) sr vs. different reinforcer (arbitrary) sr, requirement for sr: interval (more effective) (no r during interval) vs. Failure to meet criterion for sr could function as an eo (deprivation) and occasion target r.
