UWF EDF 6225 ALL SET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SET A+
✔✔What is DRO? - ✔✔Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior:
reinforcement delivered contingent on a problem behavior NOT occurring during an
interval or specified moment
✔✔What is DRA? - ✔✔Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior:
place problem behavior on extinction while reinforcing more appropiate-alternative
behavior
✔✔What is extinction? - ✔✔A specific behavior has no access to reinforcement.
✔✔What is negative reinforcement? - ✔✔removing stimulus to increase likelyhood of
behavior occurring in the future
✔✔What is an escape contingency? - ✔✔a response that terminates an ongoing
stimulus
✔✔What is an avoidance contingency? - ✔✔a response that prevents or postpones the
presentation of a stimulus
✔✔What is an error correction strategy? - ✔✔a task is repeated until it is completed
correctly
✔✔What are the 2 behavior replacement strategies? - ✔✔differential reinforcement &
differential positive reinforcement
✔✔What is differential reinforcement? - ✔✔teaching other methods for
escape/avoidance ex: offering a break card to a student
✔✔What is differential positive reinforcement? - ✔✔offering reinforcement for
completing tasks or remaining in the environment
, ✔✔What is positive punishment? - ✔✔adding a stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a
behavior happening in the future
✔✔What is negative punishment? - ✔✔removal of a stimulus to decrease the likelihood
of a behavior occurring in the future
✔✔What is recovery from punishment? - ✔✔Stopping the punishment or penalty
contingency for a previously punished response causes the response frequency to
increase to its rate before the punishment or penalty contingency
✔✔When should punishment occur? - ✔✔immediately following response
✔✔More intense punishment results in? - ✔✔more response suppression, less likely to
access reinforcement- most effective
✔✔When a punishment procedure is in place there can be no ________ for the target
behavior? - ✔✔reinforcement
✔✔What is behavioral contrast? - ✔✔A change in the reinforcement schedule of one
setting causes a behavior to have the opposite effect in other settings. For example,
kiddo normally eats cookies with grandma. Grandma starts punishing eating cookies, so
his cookie eating decreases with grandma but increases at home.
✔✔What is a reprimand? - ✔✔a verbal or sound punisher
✔✔What is response blocking? - ✔✔intervening as soon as the behavior starts to
prevent the completion of the response
✔✔What is RIRD? - ✔✔Response Interruption & Redirection:
interrupting stereotypic behavior & redirecting the individual to do a high-p behavior
instead
✔✔What is contingent excercise? - ✔✔participant is required to do a response not
topographically related to the behavior
ex: running 5 laps for forgetting gym clothes
✔✔What is overcorrection? - ✔✔participant is required to do a response topographically
related to the behavior
✔✔What is restitutional overcorrection? - ✔✔Client must restore the environment to an
even better state than before the behavior occurred.
