A Behavior Analyst’s Guide to Supervising FieldworkReinforcement

A Behavior Analyst’s Guide to Supervising Fieldwork: Reinforcement [Within the field of behavior analysis, one of the most important principles is reinforcement. Reinforcement is defined as contingent application of a stimulus following a behavior which results in the behavior maintaining or increasing in the future. Behavior analysts are called to implement interventions that incorporate positive reinforcement before implementing more restrictive interventions. In this chapter, you will introduce your supervisees to the categories of reinforcers, dimensions of reinforcement, and basic and compound schedules of reinforcement. During the group supervision meeting, you will review the categories of reinforcers including unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers, and socially mediated and automatic reinforcement. In addition, you will review the dimensions of reinforcement including quality, magnitude, immediacy, and rate, and schedules of reinforcement including ratio, interval, time-based, multiple, and chain. During the individual supervision meeting, your supervisee will role play implementing a multiple schedule or a chain schedule. You and your supervisee will then develop procedures to implement a multiple schedule or a chain schedule with their client. During the final supervision meeting, you will instruct your supervisee to implement the selected compound schedule with their client.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Within the field of behavior analysis, one of the most important principles is reinforcement. Reinforcement is defined as contingent application of a stimulus following a behavior which results in the behavior maintaining or increasing in the future. Behavior analysts are called to implement interventions that incorporate positive reinforcement before implementing more restrictive interventions. In this chapter, you will introduce your supervisees to the categories of reinforcers, dimensions of reinforcement, and basic and compound schedules of reinforcement. During the group supervision meeting, you will review the categories of reinforcers including unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers, and socially mediated and automatic reinforcement. In addition, you will review the dimensions of reinforcement including quality, magnitude, immediacy, and rate, and schedules of reinforcement including ratio, interval, time-based, multiple, and chain. During the individual supervision meeting, your supervisee will role play implementing a multiple schedule or a chain schedule. You and your supervisee will then develop procedures to implement a multiple schedule or a chain schedule with their client. During the final supervision meeting, you will instruct your supervisee to implement the selected compound schedule with their client.]
