Document Summary

Group of people who earn tokens for positive behaviour and can exchange tokens for reinforce use this technique when actual reinforcers are not going to work. Everyone should have the same chance to earn the reward (cid:1) (cid:1) Short answer examples: working with a parent/ child, where the child has behaviour issues, suggest to the parents to ignore the behaviour. Extinction bursts are a common step when trying to stop a specific behaviour problem. The role of the tantrum was to get a reaction in the first place. Therefore when the reaction of the parent didn"t occur the child tried harder, and the behaviour got worse. This is very common in the fact that the behaviour gets worse before it gets better. Common for a negative behaviour that appears to have stopped for a period of time to reoccur and return again. However the behaviour should not be at the rate or intensity of the previous behaviour.
