Intermittent schedules of reinforcement?
89533
Ummm ... do you have a specific question about them? I can tell you that it is the most effective kind of reinforcement and that it is the reason why gambling is addictive. When you aren't sure when the reward is going to come you tend to think it's always right around the corner. I hope that helps!

Set the rules and follow them no exception. He should know what he will get punished for and when he'll be rewared. I agree with the previous post about taking away a favorite toy, no TV works too. If he likes TV or a particular toy, give it to him after he's done his homework or something else as valuable as a reward, but not for too long.

The simple version is that animals learn behavior based on outcomes.  Positive outcomes reinforce, negative outcomes punish.  \n\nIf you give a treat(reward) every time your dog barks(response) once when you say "speak,"(the STIMULUS) you are CONDITIONING becasue the response is not natural.  (i.e., a dog will ALWAYS shake(response) when soaked with water(stimulus), or will always salivate(response) when food(stimulus) is introduced, UNconditioned response).  \n\nIf you give a treat after every three times, the dog will learn that number one and two don't count and may stop performing.  When the reward is Intermittent, it reinforces stronger because the dog never knows when the reward comes, so it keeps trying.\n\nThat's down and dirty, hope it helps!

I've attached some links that give a very good perspective on behavior and its impact on learning.  I hope this helps.

Reward leads to the repetition of a behaviour.\nJohn Watson:\n"give me a dozen healthy infants, well -formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take anyone at random and train them to become any type of specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief, and, yes, even beggar man and thief , regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors"

Of course. ABA is a tool...and it can be used with any behavior. It is often used as a foundation for a Behavior Intervention Plan for students who are anxious, depressed, etc.

That's a tough one. I don't know how you handle discipline in your house but something that has worked for me (I am the primary care taker for my boyfriend's two children who are both from different unions) is using a good marble/bad marble system. I know it sounds kinda corny at first, but, you make a customized fair list of the behaviors that are not acceptable (whining and petty tattling is on our list) and they get a bad marble (btw we have pickle jars labeled good and bad) anytime they exhibit these behaviors and if they get too many (say 5 or more depending on how minor or major they are) they get restricted from a privilege. However, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't get rewarded when they are behaving so you can make a list or decided on a moment to moment basis if they are being good (sharing, doing things when told, remembering to put a plate in the sink etc.. whatever works for your household) and if they get so many good marbles I let them make a list of a few fun things we can do around the house for 30 minutes, and another short list of things we could do that would cost a little more that we would have to drive to or something like a small toy and I reward them weekly with something fun for being good and helping me out.  You may need to do it as a daily system. I used to use it daily but now that the boy is older and better behaved we only have to use it weekly now. Sometimes children just need a little guidance and to know what the rules are, and to know what is unacceptable and when they can see that their behavior is not good consistently and they are rewarded for being good they will want to change.. especially if you make a big deal out of them being good.  Good Luck... hope this helps or gives you some ideas anyway.

More information is needed, please, before one can answer your question - for example - why do you wish to create this schedule for your son?  How young is he? can your son not make up his own schedule?  Or do you plan to be away for a week?  Please explain to us more about what it is you are trying to do - thanks!

Try being a little bit more strict, not to the point of being harsh though. Just let them know that you are their teacher, and they need to stay on task. Also be consistent with your punishings. For instance, if one week you punish a lot of children for talking, and the next week you slack off a little bit, then they may get the idea that its okay to talk whenever they want to. Hope this helps. =)
