Exam 15: Differential Reinforcement

TF DRA is an effective way to increase a desirable behavior.

If you are trying to get a child with intellectual disability to drink his milk slower and you want 10 sec.to elapse between each gulp, then ___________ DRL is most appropriate.

Reinforcement delivered when fewer than a specified number of responses occurs in a period of time is referred to as ___________ DRL.

How do the procedures of whole-interval DRO and spaced-responding DRL differ?

DRA involves using ____________ for desirable behaviors and ___________ for undesirable behaviors.

Differential reinforcement of a low probability behavior with the opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior is referred to as:

Which of the following will increase the effectiveness of DRO?

Julie's parents used DRA at home in order to get Julie to increase her behavior of speaking clearly and reduce her behavior of mumbling.As a result, Julie now speaks clearly at home, at school, and at church.Julie's behavior of speaking clearly is said to have ____________ to other relevant stimulus situations.

When using a DRA procedure, the alternative behavior must:

In a DRO procedure, the reinforcer is contingent on ___________.

An individual with mental retardation frequently engages in aggressive behavior when he wants a break from a task at work.When he engages in aggressive behavior, he is required to continue working on the task, but if he asks for a break his behavior is reinforced with a break from the task.Which variation of DRA is being used in this example?

The initial time interval that is selected for the DRO procedure should be:

In order to implement DRO successfully you need to:

Momentary DRO procedures are more effective than whole interval DRO procedures.

Nicole's parents are trying to decrease the number of phone calls that she makes in a day.If Nicole makes fewer than 5 calls in a day, she is allowed to have a friend over the next day.In which DRL variation is the reinforcer delivered if the number of responses that occur in a period of time is less than a specified level.

In the DRO procedure, you reinforce other behavior to take the place of the problem behavior you want to decrease.

What happens in a DRA procedure?

In which DRO variation is the reinforcer delivered when the problem behavior is absent at the end of the interval?

When identifying a reinforcer to use in a DRO procedure, one consequence event that will function as a reinforcer for the person is ___________.

DRO intervals should be gradually shortened over time.
