3. Keep ratio of pairing to demands 75%-25%
What procedure reinforces occurrences of desirable bx and withholds reinforcement from undesirable reinforcement?
What is Differential reinforcement of ALTERNATIVE behavior.
Define Latency
The amount of time it takes from when the SD is given to the start of the behavior
Behavior (Operationally Definitioned) - a description of the behavior of interest
Hypothesized Function
Replacement Behaviors
Antecedent Manipulations - AKA Preventative Strategies
Consequence Manipulations - AKA Management Strategies
What is Restraint .VS. Isolation?
"Restraint" means physical intervention or force used to control a student, including the use of a restraint device to restrict a student's freedom of movement.
"Isolation" means restricting the student alone within a room or any other form of enclosure, from which the student may not leave.

You are about to start a session or run a program with a client. What do you need to do prior to have a successful session or trial?
Run a preference assessment.
What are the 4 basic Differential Reinforcement interventions?
Differential reinforcement of OTHER bx:- reinforcing bx not occurring.
Differential reinforcement of ALTERNATIVE bx: withholding reinforcement from undesirable bx and reinforcing desirable bx
Differential reinforcement of INCOMPATIBLE bx: reinforcing bx that is incompatible with the undesirable bx.
Differential reinforcement of lower rates: (a)following each occurrence of target bx that is separated from the previous response by a minimum amount of time (b) contingent on the number of repossess within a period not exceeding a predetermined criterion.
Adding an aversive stimulus to the environment to decrease a behavior is called?
