Exam 15: A: Differential Reinforcement

The amount of effort required to engage in the alternative behavior together with the schedule of reinforcement for the alternative behavior is referred to as:​

Sally is on a DRO 10 min.schedule for screaming.If after 5 min.Sally screams,what happens next? ______

When you are most interested in decreasing the overall rate of a behavior you should use ____________ DRL,but if the timing of the behavior is most important you should use ____________ DRL.​

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

The alternative behavior in a DRA procedure should require ___________ response effort than the problem behavior.

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

Tommy is frequently asking his parents questions,and they want to decrease his behavior to an acceptable level.Tommy's parents tell him that they will answer a question only if it has been at least 10 minutes since his last question.If Tommy asks a question before the 10-minute interval is up,his parents do not reinforce his behavior with an answer to the question? Which DRL variation are Tommy's parents using?​

Utilizing the same reinforcer that is maintaining an undesirable behavior is an effective way to increase a desirable behavior.

What happens in a DRA procedure?

Provide an example of full session DRL.

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.

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.​

In a DRA procedure,when the alternative behavior results in the same reinforcer as the problem behavior,we say that the alternative behavior is ___________ to the problem behavior.​

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

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.​

DRO intervals should be gradually shortened over time.

DRA is an effective way to increase a desirable behavior.

The same reinforcers will be effective for most people.

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