Behavior Reduction

Question 1

4 Functions of Behavior

Answer 1

Automatic/Sensory, Escape, Attention, Access/Tangible

Question 2

What is Differential Reinforcement?

Answer 2

Reinforcing (SR+1) positive, alternative behaviors and putting maladaptive, problem behaviors on extinction

Question 3

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)

Answer 3

Deliver R when client engages in alternative behavior and places problem behavior on extinction “Do this instead”; Raising hand instead of calling out answers

Question 4

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)

Answer 4

Deliver R when client does not engage in targeted problem behavior at all for specific time interval “Don’t do this”; Every 10min that patient does not engage in hitting head behavior, provide praise and R

Question 5

Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)

Answer 5

Deliver R when client engages in behavior that is incompatible with target problem behavior and places said behavior on extinction “Do this so you can’t do that”; Patient responds to skills such as clap hands, pat floor, then receives R toy to squeeze

Question 6

Differential Reinforcement of High-Rates of Behavior (DRH)

Answer 6

Deliver R when client engages in target behavior above a predetermined set criteria “Do this, only much more”; Child takes bites of lunch at a faster rate

Question 7

Differential Reinforcement of Low-Rates of Behavior (DRL)

Answer 7

Deliver R when client engages in the targeted behavior less than or equal to predetermined limit “Do this, only not so much”; Child raises hand fewer times during class

Question 8

MO

Answer 8

Environmental variable that alters the value of a reinforcer; These can increase or decrease motivation

Question 9

Value Altering Effect: Establishing Operation (EO)

Answer 9

increases motivation for a stimulus; DEPRIVATION (so this MO increases desire)

Question 10

Value Altering Effect: Abolishing Operation (AO)

Answer 10

Decreases motivation for a stimulus; SATIATED (so this MO decreases desire)

Question 11

Behavior Altering Effect: Evocative Effect

Answer 11

Increases frequency of behavior: EVOKE (encourages more behavior)

Question 12

Behavior Altering Effect: Abative Effect

Answer 12

Decreases frequency of behavior: ABATE (decreases behavior)
