BCBA Section GEffective use of reinforcement - correct answer Initial criterion should be easy to achieve Vary reinforcers Use direct reinforcers Use a dense schedule at first and gradually fade Gradually move from contrived contingencies to natural contingencies Gradually move from intermittent and delayed schedules Use contingent attention and behavior specific praise Pair SR procedures with prompting Premack Principle - correct answer AKA Grandmas Law, relativity theory of reinforcement A strategy uses bx as reinforcement High-rate bx contingent on low-rate bx High probability bx reinforces low-probability bx Use: -completing unpreferred tasks Usually stated as: 1st________, then________. Response Deprivation Hypothesis (RDH) - correct answer Restricting access to a behavior presumably acts as a form of deprivation that serves as an EO, thus making the opportunity to engage in the restricted behavior an effective form of reinforcement. Antecedent Interventions - correct answer AKA: Antecedent Procedures; Antecedent Control; Antecedent Manipulations reinforcement procedures that can weaken behaviors interventions dependent on MOs and Sd Interventions implemented prior to & NOT contingent on bx Methods: -Manipulation MOs -decreasing required response effort -teaching alternative bx (FCT) -using differential consequences (ex: DRL) -limiting opportunities to emit the challenging bx -increasing opportunities to emit desirable bx TYPES: 1.Contingency dependent 2.Contingency independent Contingency Dependent - correct answer Stimulus control Manipulate the availability of SR in the presence of a specific Sd Differential consequences for correct bx vs. challenging bx (includes: discrimination training, conditional discriminations, concept formation, prompting and prompt fading, modeling, precision teaching, DTT, direct instruction) Contingency Independent - correct answer MOs -interventions that manipulate EOs and change antecedent events -do not dependent on the consequence -EO/AO manipulation creates evocative or abative effect on bx (NCR, Hi-P response Sequence, FCT, NET, free-operant learning) Antecedent Interventions - correct answer Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR), High-Probability Request Sequence, Functional Communication Training Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR)-Free SR - correct answer A response-independent schedule of reinforcement. Providing stimuli with known reinforcing independent of the target bx. Used to decrease challenging bx proactively and non-aversively Time based schedule=fixed or variable time schedule Abolishes the motivation to engage in the bx Satiation of specific reinforcer Require identification of function
