Procedures for determining and then modifying the extinction component of multiple schedules for destructive behavior. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Multiple schedules of reinforcement can effectively encourage positive communication instead of destructive behavior as part of a gradual process called reinforcement schedule thinning.
  • The study aimed to assess strategies for managing the initial duration of extinction for alternative behavior, the use of competing stimuli during this extinction phase, and ways to reduce these competing stimuli over time.
  • Results showed that all participants quickly reduced their destructive behaviors while achieving intended communication goals, highlighting the effectiveness of these approaches and suggesting further areas for research.

Article Abstract

As a component of reinforcer schedule thinning following functional communication training, multiple schedules of reinforcement produce desirable rates and patterns of communication responses as an alternative response to destructive behavior. However, reinforcement schedule thinning is a gradual process that can take many sessions to obtain therapeutic goals. The desired outcome is that manding occurs only during signaled intervals of reinforcement with a sufficiently lean terminal schedule of reinforcement availability and low rates of destructive behavior. The purposes of this study were to (a) evaluate an assessment for informing the initial duration of extinction for alternative responding, (b) evaluate the utility of competing stimuli during extinction for alternative responding, and (c) assess a method for fading the availability of competing stimuli. With these procedures, all 4 participants experienced terminal schedules of reinforcement with rapid, robust reductions in destructive behavior soon after baseline. We discuss the implications and directions for future research.
