Differential negative reinforcement of other behavior to increase compliance with wearing an anti‐strip suit

Using noncontingent reinforcement to increase compliance with wearing prescription prostheses.

We evaluated the effects of noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) on compliance with wearing foot orthotics and a hearing aid with 2 individuals. Results showed that NCR increased the participants' compliance with wearing prescription prostheses to 100% after just a few 5-min sessions, and the behavior change was maintained during lengthier sessions. The results are discussed in terms of the potent...

The effects of differential negative reinforcement of other behavior and noncontingent escape on compliance.

The present study evaluated the effects of noncontingent escape and differential negative reinforcement of other behavior in reducing problem behaviors and increasing compliance in 2 children with disabilities. Results showed that both methods reduced problem behavior and increased compliance for both children.

The effects of extinction, noncontingent reinforcement and differential reinforcement of other behavior as control procedures.

Several techniques have been used in applied research as controls for the introduction of a reinforcement contingency, including extinction, noncontingent reinforcement (NCR), and differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO). Little research, however, has examined the relative strengths and limitations of these "reversal" controls. We compared the effects of extinction with those of NCR a...

Differential reinforcement of other behavior and response suppression: the effects of the response-reinforcement interval

An investigation of differential reinforcement of alternative behavior without extinction.

We manipulated relative reinforcement for problem behavior and appropriate behavior using differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) without an extinction component. Seven children with developmental disabilities participated. We manipulated duration (Experiment 1), quality (Experiment 2), delay (Experiment 3), or a combination of each (Experiment 4), such that reinforcement favor...
