The cue, referred to as a discriminative stimulus (Sd), is a specific environmental event or condition in response to which a child is expected to exhibit a particular behavior.

Mand training involves moving from stimulus control to motivating operation control. Tacts are a verbal operant where the speaker labels things in the environment. Tacts occur when a non-verbal stimulus is presented which becomes a discriminative stimulus (Sd) via discrimination training

A pure mand is a basic operant defined by Skinner in Verbal Behavior as a “a verbal operant in which the response is reinforced by characteristic consequences and is therefore under the functional control of relevant conditions of deprivation or aversive stimulation”.

When setting up natural environment teaching (NET) to teach mands, which of the following is the most important: Which of the following is an example of a defective mand? Crying when wanting a drink.

What is an example of a defective mand? Crying when wanting a drink. When setting up natural environment teaching (NET) to teach mands, which of the following is the most important: Make sure that the motivation for reinforcers can be contrived.

The example of positive reinforcement is; An angler catches a record fish at night and decide to stay out late everyday

Answer: For those who display high levels of problem behaviour, the ratio of eight reinforcers to one reprimand should be used

Natural reinforcers are often the most effective, but social reinforcers can also be extremely powerful. Tokens are often more useful with children, while tangible reinforcers are essential for training dogs, for example

Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR) is the presentation of a reinforcer, independent of the presence of a specific behavior. The learner receives reinforcement on a set schedule instead of for a positive response. The classic example is of a student sitting in the front of the classroom, next to the teacher.

DRO – this procedure entails delivering reinforcement whenever the problem behavior does not occur during a predetermined amount of time. Example: Julie pulls strands of hair out of her head when she is completing independent work. Her teacher decides to use DRO in order to reinforce the absence of pulling her hair.
