3. Arranging Consequences that Increase Behavior
Contingent presentation of a consequence
Positive reinforcement
Contingent removal of an unpleasant consequence
Negative reinforcement
Naturally occurring reinforcing stimuli are always more desirable but others may be necessary
Table 7-1 (pg. 213) illustrates the continuum of reinforcing stimuli from most intrusive to less intrusive

4. Arranging Consequences that Increase Behavior
What really is positive reinforcement?
What is does it mean that reinforcers must be individualized?
What is a reinforcer menu?
What is reinforcer sampling?
What are some other ways you can determine reinforcers for a student?

5. Arranging Consequences that Increase Behavior
What does contingent delivery of reinforcers mean?
What does immediately mean?
What is the principle of deprivation?
What is the principle of satiation?
Why are primary reinforcers so subject to satiation?
What might be some advantages to primary reinforcers?

6. Arranging Consequences that Increase Behavior
Why are secondary reinforcers known as conditioned reinforcers? How does pairing work?
What is the Premack Principle?
What is a generalized conditioned reinforcer? Why are they so useful?
What is a token economy?

7. Arranging Consequences that Increase Behavior
Why are social reinforcers so useful?
They are natural & can be used often
They are available to the teacher all day
But, they can also be used accidentally to reinforce inappropriate behavior
What is a contingency contract?
What advantages do they have?

8. Schedules of Reinforcement
Continuous (CRF): Delivery of reinforcement on a continuous basis
Intermittent: Requires greater numbers of correct responses for reinforcement. Delivered under two schedules: ratio schedules and interval schedules.
Ratio Schedule: The number of times a target behavior occurs determines the timing of reinforcer delivery. (Fixed/Variable)
Interval Schedule: The occurrence of at least one correct response plus the passage of a specific amount of time. (Fixed/Variable)
Response-Duration: The continuous amount of time of a target behavior determines the delivery of a reinforcer. (Fixed/Variable)
