AI Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) schedules impact behavior based on two factors: whether a signal is present and how dense the schedule is.
- - Results showed that signaled NCR schedules led to a more significant and faster decrease in responses compared to unsignaled NCR schedules.
- - The implications of these findings for clinical practice are explored, highlighting their importance in understanding behavior modification techniques.
Article Abstract
The effects of noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) schedules on responding were assessed across two parameters: presence of signal and schedule density. Results indicated that signaled NCR schedules were correlated with greater overall reductions in responding and quicker reductions relative to NCR schedules without a signal. The clinical significance of these findings is discussed.
