Document Summary
Based on animal research now applied in clinical research, different ways we can manipulate reinforcement. Targeting one behavior (problematic behavior) and encouraging pro-social positive behavior. Doing 2 things at once instead of using one technique like extinction. Distinction is subtle but if the behavior is mutually exclusive of one another. Allowing them to attain reinforce (same reinforcer supporting problem). Different places (banks, corner stores) have different ways to interact with the item. Going from one stimuli to one is the way you interact with it as opposed to what you previously used. Another example is a child"s good table manners. If you can extinguish attention for bad and get for good behavior your doing dra. Can"t use hand for two different things at the same time. 2-put your hand"s to some other use like put your hands in your pocket. Could be social or automatic, positive or negative. For generalization make sure it happens outside this situation.
