D) A and C

Question

In order to implement DRO successfully you need to:​
A) ​deliver the reinforcer when the alternative behavior occurs
B) ​deliver the reinforcer for the absence of the problem behavior
C) ​deliver the punisher when the problem behavior occurs
D) ​A and C

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) requires reinforcing the absence of the problem behavior instead of reinforcing alternative behavior or punishing the problem behavior. Therefore, the correct option is B, delivering the reinforcer for the absence of the problem behavior. Choice A is incorrect because it suggests delivering the reinforcer when the alternative behavior occurs rather than reinforcing the absence of the problem behavior. Choice C is incorrect because it suggests delivering the punisher when the problem behavior occurs, which is not a component of DRO. Choice D is incorrect because it includes both A and C, which are both incorrect.
