Exam 15: A: Differential Reinforcement

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

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

Matthew frequently screams when he wants attention from his Mom.In order to decrease Matthew's screaming behavior,his Mom does not pay attention to him when he screams.When Matthew quietly asks for attention,his behavior is reinforced with attention from his Mom.Which differential reinforcement procedure is Matthew's Mom using?​

Which type of differential reinforcement is most likely to lead to an increase in an alternative behavior?​

Mary frequently blurts out answers to questions without waiting to be called on because she likes attention from the teacher.When Mary raises her hand,the teacher calls on her,but when Mary blurts out an answer the teacher ignores her and calls on another student.As a result,Mary's behavior of raising her hand increases,and her behavior of blurting out answers decreases.The teacher used ____________ for Mary's behavior of raising her hand and ____________ for her behavior of blurting out answers.​

At what point during the implementation of DRO is the time interval increased?​

A parent is trying to decrease a child's swearing behavior.For every hour that the child goes without swearing,the parent reinforces the absence of swearing by reading to the child.If the child swears,the parent does not give the child attention and the child has to wait another hour for a story.Which differential reinforcement procedure is the parent using?​

Jeff is a boy with autism who grabs and squeezes his face when the teacher asks him to complete a task.The teacher allows Jeff to leave the room when this occurs because he will stop hurting himself.After 5 minutes,Jeff usually returns to the classroom and completes at least some of the requested task.Describe how you would implement a DRA procedure to increase Jeff's completing schoolwork and decrease his self injurious behavior.

Identify the examples below as DRO,DRA,or DRL. ​ ___________ Tony,a four year old boy,frequently squirmed in church and disrupted the people sitting near him.Dad decided to use differential reinforcement.When they first got to church,Dad told Tony if he didn't squirm,he could earn stickers.Once church started,Dad gave Tony a sticker after every 10 minutes that he did not squirm. ​ ___________ Mary was supposed to do her homework at the kitchen table in the evening.Frequently Mary talked to Mom while she was supposed to be studying.Mom usually talked to Mary for a few minutes each time Mary spoke to her.Mom decided on a plan to get Mary to talk less while studying.Whenever Mary was studying,Mom would praise her,but when Mary tried to talk to Mom,Mom would walk out of the room without responding to Mary. ​ ___________ Claire,a woman with intellectual disability working in a workshop,got up and went to the bathroom 5 or 6 times each morning and 5 or 6 times each afternoon.She recently had a physical,so there was no medical problem.The supervisor implemented a program in which Claire earned a token if she went to the bathroom no more than 2 times in the morning and not more than 2 times in the afternoon.She later traded her tokens in for back-up reinforcers.

In order to implement DRO successfully you need to:​

Extinction of the problem behavior is a component of the DRO procedure.

What is the result if the problem behavior occurs during the DRO interval?​

Which of the following will increase the effectiveness of DRO?​

In spaced responding DRL,the reinforcer is delivered for the absence of a behavior after a time interval has passed.

What is the difference between a whole interval DRO procedure and a momentary DRO procedure?

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