Document Summary

Differential reinforcement involved applying reinforcement and extinction to increase or decrease the occurrence of a behavior. How to use dra effectively: define the desirable behavior, define the undesirable behavior, identify the reinforce. A reinforcer assessment can be done in which you deliver the item contingent on a behavior and show that the behavior increased. In the single stimulus assessment procedure, each potential reinforce is presented one at a time numerous times and the percentage of each item being chosen is calculated. In the paired stimulus assessment procedure (also called a forced choice or paired choice procedure), 2 potential reinforcers are presented and the percentage is calculated. The multiple stimulus assessment presents multiple stimuli and the research records which reinforce the individuals approaches or chooses first and then removes it and observes again this procedure is called multiple stimulus without replacement (mswo) procedure.
