PSYB45H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 17: Habit Reversal Training
Document Summary
Using extinction, differential reinforcement, and habit reversal to decrease a behavior. Study and review: before extinction procedure, conduct functional assessment to identify its reinforcers (to eliminate them, enhance effectiveness of extinction by b. i. Withholding all of the target behaviour"s reinforcers consistently b. ii. Telling the target person about new contingencies b. iv. Linking extinction to a variety of conditions: using extinction is not recommended if it creates a dangerous situation that we cannot prevent, we can minimized occurrences of extinction burst / extinction elicited aggression / spontaneous reappearance by a. i. Reinforcing alternative or competing responses: differential reinforcement, method of decreasing target behavior by withholding the behaviour"s reinforcers and rewarding another response category (alternative behavior / less frequent occurrences of the target behavior, four types of differential reinforcement b. i. Reinforcers withheld for target behavior but not competing reponse b. ii. Reinforcers are withheld for target behavior but given for another behavior that is not necessarily a competing response b. iii.
