Automatic negative reinforcement

___________schedules are more often used when teaching new behaviors, while ________________ schedules are used when maintaining previously learned behaviors.

Continuous reinforcement, intermittent reinforcement

Christopher tends to stand up from his desk at inappropriate times. You physically prompt him to sit down and immediately hand him an "I want a break" card. When Christopher gives you the card you allow a short break. This is an example of:

DRA

It has been determined that Jennifer engages in biting for attention. You now wear a very thick sweater to the session, and when she bites you, you don't react and ignore her. Instead when she taps you on the shoulder you reinforce this behavior with attention. This is an example of:

DRA

Mrs. Ramirez wants Stephanie to contribute more to in-class discussions. If she can contribute at least three times during the discussion, she gets 10 minutes of free time to play. Once Mrs. Ramirez realizes that she is consistently contributing at least three times, she will increase the number of times Stephanie will be required to contribute to the discussion. This is an example of:

DRH

In which differential reinforcement procedure do you reinforce behavior that cannot occur at the same time as the target behavior?

DRI

Tommy is a 6-year-old boy who continuously picks his nose. While in the car his mother tells him to fold his hands. He then folds his hands and his mother allows him to pick his favorite movie. This is an example of which DR procedu

DRI

Jacob is a 9-year-old boy who engages in a high frequency of hand flapping, he is averaging about 20 min of hand flapping per session. During one session, the RBT tells Jacob that to win a sticker he must keep hand flapping to no more than 17 min. This is an example o

DRL

Tara is constantly raising her hand in class or walking to her teacher to ask questions about assignments. The teacher sets a limit for Tara of five questions. Any other questions beyond 5 are ignored. What DR procedure is this?

DRL

Which DR procedure is used to decrease the overall rate of a behavior but not to eliminate it completely?

DRL

Mrs. Wilson has a student named Sara that interrupts her classroom on multiple occasions throughout the period. Mrs. Wilson measures how long Sara can go without interrupting and decides to use a ______ to reduce Sara's disruptive behavior by reinforcing any other behavior than interrupting. Choose the best answer.

______________reinforcement schedules are used when maintaining previously learned behaviors.

Intermittent

When implementing DRI:

Why is sitting quietly and not speaking not an appropriate alternative behavior?

It's not behavior

The first step in promoting generalization is to think of _______ existing contingences.

When implementing differential reinforcement procedures, what steps are involved?

Reinforce only the target response while applying extinction to all other responses within the same response class

what two components are involved in differential reinforcement?

Reinforcement and extinction

Social reinforcement

With which of the following behaviors would you implement Differential Reinforcement?
