Behavior ReductionDifficulty 3/5
A plan says: 'Deliver praise and a token every 2 minutes in which no hand-flapping occurs. If hand-flapping occurs, restart the interval.' This is:
- ADRA
- BDRI
- CDRO
- DDRL
Show answer and rationale
Correct: C. Reinforcement is delivered for the absence of the target behavior over an interval, and the interval resets on occurrence: differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO). No specific alternative or incompatible response is required.
- A — DRA reinforces a specific alternative behavior.
- B — DRI reinforces a behavior that cannot occur at the same time as the target.
- D — DRL reinforces a lower rate of the behavior, not its absence.
