Study Notes

Reinforcement Schedules

Sheldon receives tokens on a variable ratio schedule, earning one approximately every fifth correct response.
Fixed ratio schedule exemplified by a star token given every three correct responses, leading to a distributable reinforcer after five tokens.
Example of a variable ratio reinforcement is Chandler giving Joey skittles after an average of five completed tasks.

Types of Reinforcement

Unconditioned reinforcers include food, water, sex, and breathable air, intrinsic to survival.
Conditioned reinforcers, like money and cars, derive their value from learned associations.

Teaching Strategies and Techniques

Modeling involves demonstrating a task, such as brushing teeth, to guide client behavior effectively.
Incidental/Natural Environment Training (NET) engages clients through play, encouraging verbal responses about objects, enhancing language skills.
Rapport-building is crucial; failure to establish a connection can lead to maladaptive behaviors and non-compliance in clients.

Behavior Management Concepts

Extinction burst occurs when a behavior initially increases before disappearing, highlighting the need for accurate function determination.
Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a behavior after it has been extinguished, indicating ongoing management is needed.

Measurement and Communication

Permanent product measurement tracks behavior by observing lasting environmental changes post-behavior.
Discriminative stimuli signal when reinforcement is accessible, influencing behavior through contextual cues.

Ethical and Procedural Considerations

Crisis protocols should exclude calling the main office as part of the plan, emphasizing immediate, on-site response.
Token economies must be individualized to suit specific patient needs for optimal effectiveness.

Motivating Operations

A motivating operation is defined as an environmental variable that affects the value of a reinforcer and influences the likelihood of a behavior occurring.

Signs of Assent

Patient engagement indicators include smiling, inviting participation, and initial greetings, showcasing comfort and willingness to engage.

Behavior Modification Plans

Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible (DRI) focuses on reinforcing behaviors that cannot occur simultaneously with the undesirable behavior, such as keeping hands in pockets while lining up.
