| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) | A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior |
| differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI) | A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior |
| differential reinforcement of low rates (DRL) | DRL is a reinforcement schedule that reduces the rate of a behavior by either requiring a minimum time to pass between responses (IRT) or by limiting the number of responses within a set time period, for reinforcement. |
| differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) | A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times |
| fixed-interval DRO (FI-DRO) | A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is available at the end of intervals of fixed duration and delivered contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during each interval. |
| fixed-momentary DRO (FM-DRO) | A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is available at specific moments in time, which are separated by a fixed amount of time, and delivered contingent on the problem not occurring at those moments. |
| full-session DRL | A procedure for implementing DRL in which reinforcement is delivered at the end of the session if the total number of responses emitted during the session does not exceed a criterion limit. |
| interval DRL | A procedure for implementing DRL in which the total session is divided into equal intervals and reinforcement is provided at the end of each interval in which the number of responses during the interval is equal to or below a criterion limit. |
| spaced-responding DRL | A procedure for implementing DRL in which reinforcement follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a minimum interresponse time (IRT). |
| variable-interval DRO (VI-DRO) | A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is available at the end of intervals of variable duration and delivered contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during the interval. |
| variable-momentary DRO (VM-DRO) | A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is available at specific moments of time, which are separated by variable amounts of time in random sequence, and delivered if the problem is not occurring at those times. |
