FRHD 3150 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Linear Motor, Rein
Document Summary
Is useful when the behavior wanted to reduce is actually desirable provided that it does not occur at too high a rate. Differential reinforcement of zero responding (dro): a schedule in which a reinforcer is presented only if a specified response does not occur during a specified period of time. Dro is sometimes referred to as differential reinforcement of other responding. If an undesirable behavior occurs often and for long intervals, beginning with a dro of short duration would be wise. The size of dro should continue to be increased until the behavior is occurring rarely or not at all and a minimum amount of reinforcement is being given for nonoccurrence. Differential reinforcement of incompatible (dri) behaviour: if we decide to decrease a target response by withholding reinforcers for it (if we know their source and block them) and by reinforcing an incompatible response.
