What are the 5 types of differential reinforcement? 

An extra 500 points will be given if you can explain each of them.

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors (DRO): Reinforce the absence of the problem behavior during a specific time interval (omission training). 

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors (DRA): Reinforce a functional alternative to the problem behavior (they can co-occur, but the alternative is more appropriate). 

Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behaviors (DRI): Reinforce a behavior that is physically impossible to do at the same time as the problem behavior. 

Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Behavior (DRH): Reinforce the behavior only when it occurs above a specific threshold (used to increase useful behaviors). 

Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Behavior (DRL): Reinforce the behavior only when it occurs below a specific threshold (used for behaviors that are okay in moderation).
