Drl Schedule

3 male high-school students participated in an experiment designed to determine the effects of the magnitude of a monetary reinforcer on human behavior in a complex situation. A two-key concurrent schedule of reinforcement was used with drl as one component and either FI or VI as the second component. It was demonstrated that increasing the reinforcement magnitude for the drl schedule produced a small transient increase in the rate of responding on the FI or VI components, even though the magnitude of reinforcement remained constant for these components.

Positive Behavioral Contrast

Using two albino rats as Ss, extinction was programmed under one component of a two-component multiple DRL schedule of reinforcement. There was an increase in response rate and subsequent loss in reinforcements in the constant component. Within 17 sessions, both the response rate and number of reinforcements earned returned to the pre-extinction baseline range in the constant component. The type of schedule used and the species used as Ss were discussed as possible limiting conditions in the maintenance of positive behavioral contrast.

Drl Schedule

The purpose was to document the effects of a modified DRL (differential reinforcement of low response rates) schedule of reinforcement with a class of 17 elementary students in special education. The procedure permitted students access to reinforcers if they exhibited 5 or fewer rule violations in a 90-min. period. Monitored target responses were out-of-seat and talking-out behaviors. The results indicated a low mean number of responses per student when the experimental program was in operation and a substantial increase in mean number of responses per student when the experimental program was withdrawn.
