  1. Using Reinforcement to Increase Operant Behavior Dr. Alan H. Teich Chapter 4

  2. Reinforcement • Positive vs. Negative • Reward value • Unconditioned (Primary) vs. Conditioned (Secondary) Reinforcers

  3. Why Are Reinforcers Reinforcing? • Biological drives • Sensory stimulation

  4. Reinforcers • Identifying Potential Reinforcers • Demographic factors • Observation • Indirect assessment • Strengthen reinforcers

  5. Positive Reinforcers • tangible reinforcers • activities • Premack Principle • response deprivation hypothesis • social reinforcers • feedback • tokens • covert reinforcers

  6. Shaping • Qualitative shaping • Quantitative shaping

  7. Timing and Schedules of Reinforcement continuous reinforcement (CRF) thinning intermittent or partial reinforcement (PRF)

  8. Chaining Methods • forward chaining • backward chaining • total-task presentation

  9. Using Group and Individual Contingencies • lottery procedures • group contingencies

  10. Who Will Administer Reinforcement? • peer-administered reinforcement • self-administered reinforcement • reduce reinforcement errors

  11. Escape and Avoidance • Escape • Avoidance

  12. Tips on Using Reinforcement • Reward value • Consistency. • Clear contingency • Vary reinforcers. • Naturally occurring reinforcers • Consequences • Thinning • Eliminate counterproductive • Review data
