Answer 30

Progressive DRO

Question 31

DRO for low rate bxDRO interval above average IRT Failing to reset timer if problem bx occursInconsistent and extra criteria for problem bx Accidentally reinforcing other problem bx Reinforcing “dead person’s” bxFailing to select a competing reinforcer Using the same reinforcer to satiationFailing to use EXT from problem bx
