BEHV 4010 FinalWhy is a FCT response not "just" a differential reinforcement procedure? In what ways
is an FCT a differential reinforcement procedure - ANS-An FCR replaces the problem
behavior with a behavior that will serve the same function as the problem behavior.
Since it is different behavior being reinforced, it is a DRA. DRAs though, do not always
account for the function of the problem behavior when replacing the behavior.
What are the problems that arise when implementing FCT in the natural environment? -
ANS-Reinforcement for requests is not always immediately available. Rates too high to
be practically reinforced by care providers.
What behavior are you trying to reduce with schedule thinning? - ANS-High rates of
alternative communication responses that occurs too often to be practically reinforced
by care providers or if it occurs in situations in which it cannot be reinforced at all.
Communicative responses/FCRs (while maintaining low rates of problem behavior.
What are the different types of schedule thinning procedures mentioned in Hagopian et.
al (RG 18)? - ANS-Delay Schedules, Chained Schedules (Demand Fading), Multiple
Schedules, and Response Restriction.
What are delay schedules? - ANS-Delaying delivery of the reinforcer following the
communication response.
What are the advantages of delay schedules? - ANS-Nicely simulate situations normally
encountered in the natural environment where reinforcement for requests is not always
immediately available.
What are the disadvantages of delay schedules? - ANS-As the delay is increased, the
contingency between the communication response and the delivery of reinforcement
may be weakened, which may result in the reemergence of problem behavior.
What are chained schedules (demand fading)? - ANS-Involves increasing the number of
demands that must be completed (a) before the opportunity to emit the alternative
response is made available (in cases where the alternative response requires access to
a device) or (b) before the alternative response produces access to reinforcement.
, What are the advantages of chained schedules (demand fading)? - ANS-Participants
learn to complete instructions or other work while still accessing break opportunities
through appropriate behavior.
What are the disadvantages of chained schedules (demand fading)? - ANS-If requests
for a break are emitted prior to meeting criteria for the response to be reinforced, the
contingency between the communicative response and reinforcement may be
systematically weakened and problem behavior may be evoked.
What are multiple schedules? - ANS-The alternation of at least two distinct schedule
components: reinforcement components are signaled with a discriminative stimulus
when in operation (SD), and an S-Delta (SD) is present when reinforcement will not be
provided.
What are the advantages of multiple schedules? - ANS-Produces a reduction of the
overall rate of the FCR while preserving the response reinforcement contingency. Also
brings the FCR under the join control of schedule-correlated stimuli and MOs relevant to
problem behavior
What are the disadvantages of multiple schedules? - ANS-Contrived stimuli often gain
stimulus control.
What is response restriction? - ANS-Restricting access to a device needed to engage in
the
alternative response.
What are the advantages of response restriction? - ANS-The response reinforcement
contingency remains intact because there is little to no opportunity to emit the
alternative response when it will not be reinforced.
What are the disadvantages of response restriction? - ANS-It limits opportunities for the
alternative response to contact delayed or non-reinforcement.
What are two different reasons why problem behavior may re-emerge after schedule
thinning? - ANS-Problem behavior may not sufficiently extinguished in the early stages
of FCT.
The alternative response and problem behavior may become members of the same
functional response class, and then the problem behavior reemerges during schedule
thinning.
