Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviour (IV) to Reduce Aggressive Behaviour Following Traumatic Brain Injury (DV)
Define DRO
Reinforcement delivery contingent on the absence of problem behaviour. Can be strenthened with DRA
What are the two types of brain injury?
Traumatic and Non Traumatic
What's the difference between FA and FBA?
While FBA identifies variables that are present (correlated) in the 3 term contingency of the target bx,
FA entails an experimental analysis of variable causation and control
what were the reinforcers used in the article?
name 3
Delicious yogurt
5-minute walk
5-minute music time
5- minute card game
What was the other behaviour/'s reinforced instead of the maladaptive target behaviours?
Absence of target bx
Appropriate methods of communication need for attention: bell, message board
What injuries/sequelae did the subject exhibit due to his brain injury?
List at l. 2
Limb Spasticity
Expressive and Receptive Language
Aggressive Behaviour
Seat is old news! What are our new functions of behaviour? Label the new functions with what their old counterpart would have been.
Automatic Positive Reinforcement (Sensory)
Automatic Negative Reinforcement (Sensory)
Social Positive Reinforcement (Attention, Tangible)
Social Negative Reinforcement (Escape)
What were the 3 main problem behaviours targeted for interventions?
What benefit can DR procedures have over Extincion?
Differential Reinforcements delivers an appropriate method of servicing the function the problem behaviour does.
How can challenging behaviour exhibited by a person with an ABI affect their overall quality of life?
I will decide if the answer is sufficient
What do programs addressing discriminative stimuli or establishing operations have in common?
They are both Antecedent BX reduction strategies
What were the limitations to the findings of this research?
List up to four
need 3 correct
Limited # of Participants
Lack of Technological/Systematic Strength
Lack of Generalization
Different Functions not examined
What is momentary DRO?
Reinforcement is delivered if problem behaviour is absent at the end of the trial interval.
Describe Ataxia and its consequences
(degenerative neurological disease) that attacks the function of the nervous system commonly brought on by trauma to cerebellum and spinal cord area that can lead to significant deterioration of motor function and communication
What is Response Blocking?
Give example
Social Positive Reinforcement (attention) in the form of restriction.
ex attending to child who is self harming
