Noncontingent Reinforcement: Some Additional Comments
I agree with Poling and Normand’s (1999) view that noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) is an incorrect description of time-based procedures that reduce behavior rates. I also agree that schedule descriptors, such as fixedtime attention or fixed-time escape, are more accurate. Since the publication of Vollmer, Iwata, Zarcone, Smith, and Mazaleski (1993), I have received numerous comments about ter...
متن کاملSpontaneous recovery after reversal and partial reinforcement.
Six experiments used magazine approach in rat subjects to explore changes with time in responding for stimuli brought to a common moderate level of performance through acquisition or extinction. They found no evidence for increases with time in behavior during stimuli given simple acquisition. However, stimuli brought to that same level by reversal learning, repeated reversal, or partial reinfo...
متن کاملUsing 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...
متن کاملEffects of alternative responses on behavior exposed to noncontingent reinforcement.
Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) may decrease the frequency of behavior by either inducing satiation or terminating the response-reinforcer contingency (extinction). Another possibility is that the target behavior is replaced by other behaviors maintained by preexisting contingencies. We conducted 2 experiments in which we allowed access to a target response and several alternatives. In Experi...
متن کاملA comparison of procedures for programming noncontingent reinforcement schedules.
We compared two methods for programming and thinning noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) schedules during the treatment of self-injurious behavior (SIB). The participants were 3 individuals who had been diagnosed with mental retardation. Results of functional analyses indicated that all participants' SIB was maintained by positive reinforcement (i.e., access to attention or food). Following basel...
