Unit 5 Discussion Author’s Name: Institution of Affiliation: Course Name: Instructor’s Name: Date: Unit 5 Discussion Differential reinforcement refers to a behavior modification method applied to surge the occurrence of anticipated behavior and reduce the occurrence of problem behaviors. The four main differential reinforcement procedures are "differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA), differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI), differential reinforcement of higher rates of behavior (DRH), and differential reinforcement of lower rates of behavior (DRL)." This paper reflects on each procedure, noting how each component impacts the occurrence of problems and desired behaviors. The paper also analyzes the application of this differential reinforcement procedure to decline the problem behavior and upsurge the desired behavior on someone's behavior. DRA encompasses reinforcing a projected behavior, which functions as a functional substitute to swapping the problematic behavior while hiding its backing. DRA is mainly used whenever a socially acceptable alternative behavior functions similarly to the problem behavior. As a result, this procedure point...
