Document Summary

Differential reinforcement: reinforcement contingent on a given response rate, typically designged to lower the response rate. Drl: differential reinforcement of low rates- a reinforcer is only presented if a particular response occurs at a low rate can be programmed as limited responding drl or spaced responding drl. Limited responding drl: maximum specified allowable number of response during a certain time interval in order for a reinforcer to occur o. Tommy can only speak out 3 times max during this 50 minute class to receive free play time. Useful when the reducing behaviour is desired when it does not occur at too high a rate (want frequency to be lowered) Ex: child who calls out right answer- do not want to stop them from answering, want to teach them to let classmates have a chance too, so reinforce behaviour only every 15 minutes and not inbetween. Dro: differential reinforcement of other responding or dr of zero responding.
