A procedure that involves extinction of a problem behavior, combined with reinforcing a behavior that is topographically dissimilar to, but not necessarily incompatible with the problem behavior is known as a:
A)DRL schedule
B)DRA schedule
C)DRO schedule
D)DRI schedule

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure described in the question is known as Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior (DRA) schedule. It involves reinforcing a behavior that is alternative to the problem behavior but is not necessarily incompatible with it. This procedure is different from DRO schedule (which involves reinforcing the absence of problem behavior for a specified time period) and DRI schedule (which involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior). DRL schedule involves reinforcing a behavior that occurs at a low rate, usually used to reduce excessive behavior.
