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.
