Behavior-Change ProceduresDifficulty 3/5
A plan reinforces a learner for completing work while no hand-flapping occurs, and hand-flapping cannot occur while the learner is writing. Which procedure is in place?
- ADRA
- BDRI
- CDRL
- DDRO
Show answer and rationale
Correct: B. Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior reinforces a response that is physically incompatible with the target behavior. DRA reinforces an alternative that need not be incompatible; DRO reinforces the absence of behavior; DRL reinforces reduced rates.
- D — DRO reinforces the absence of the behavior, not a specific incompatible response.
- A — DRA does not require incompatibility.
- C — DRL reinforces a lower rate of the target behavior itself.
