PSYB45H3 Chapter 15: Behaviour Modification - Chapter 15 Book Notes
Document Summary
response = mrs. williams says positive things www. notesolution. com. outcome = in the future, she is more likely to say positive things when a nurse is present. consequence = nurse does not provide attention. When to use dra: the desirable behaviour must be occurring at least occasionally to be reinforced. If the behaviour is not occurring at all, dra is not an appropriate procedure but it can be used with other procedures such as shaping. If the reinforcer cannot be identified, or if you have no control over the reinforcer you cannot use dra. How to use dra: define the desirable behaviour, define the undesirable behaviour. whenever she put her thumb in her mouth, the clinician stopped reading. problem behaviour occurs frequently = short interval. problem behaviour occurs infrequently = long interval. choose an interval length that results in a high probability of reinforcement.
