James uses socially appropriate behavior to greet peers but does so up to ten times in one class period. His teacher decides to use DRL to lower the rate of his behavior but she does not want to eliminate it completely. She decides to deliver reinforcement (ex. computer time) to James if he greets peers five or fewer times during the class period. If he greets peers more than five times, he does not receive reinforcement.
Do you believe this case exhibits DRL or a DRH and why? 2) What type of reinforcement does his teacher use? 3) Can you think of an alternative reinforcement for his behavior and how would you determine what is the most appropriate one to use for James?
