ABA Therapy: Schedules of Reinforcement

In this video, I go over different schedules of reinforcement including fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, and variable interval. I also touch on schedule thinning and ratio strain. I provide examples throughout the video test you at the end with more examples.

To tell the truth I only studied for 8 hrs before my test with your videos , and I passed on my exam today first try! Your videos are great

[@user-wp4le1mv3o]

Just took my exam and thanks so much for the prep! Really helped with understanding shaping,chaining,and schedules of reinforcement specifically.❤#passed

[@daniellegibson375]

I am taking my test today and with your videos I feel confident in my knowledge and more prepared!!

[@nicole77135]

Thank you so much for helping me understand this more. On the task list this was the most difficult for me to understand. The way you broke down ratio and interval made it extremely easier to relate to actual scenarios in real life! Im taking my exam tomorrow!!

[@missdanibaby511]

This was so helpful! You should teach a class if you don't already. You have a calm and engaging voice. You get straight to the point and don't sound like you're just going directly from a text book. Pleas keep doing more videos!

[@nlvarlack334]

I was having a difficult time this week covering Schedules of Reinforcement for my class. After watching this video I have a better understanding of the material! Thank you and I plan to review all of your videos in preparation for my exam.

I am so glad to have stumbled upon your video. I am in school for ABA and I could compartmentalize the different schedules of reinforcement in my head. I have read many articles and watched many videos and still didn't get it until I watched yours. Thanks a bunch. I also subscribed. :-)

[@ABAmadeeasy]

Thanks for the kind words and congratulations!!! Welcome to the field!

[@djdonnag]

[@mariavictoriasalas8426]

Hi! I'm so blessed to have had the chance to bump into your videos.I have been looking for free ABA sessions since this service i s not accessible in our area beside the fact that it's too pricey. If it would not be too much to ask, I am requesting a video about how to handle tantrums whenever a child wants to escape a task whether at home or in school. the school where my son is enrolled in doesn't apply ABA to it's students so I researched on my own. The moment my son enters his class, his teacher immediately wants him to go to his new classroom and do a task,then my son starts saying no but the teacher keeps pushing him inside the room and forces him to do a task until my son gets completely stressed out by covering his ears and making loud sounds. by the way,my son is minimally verbal and the teacher is also under the spectrum .I keep telling the teacher to let my son settle and be comfortable with the environment for a few minutes and he will be doing what is asked of him .this is our experience at home.if he is asked to do a task or is commanded to do something and he says no,then we say okay ,just do it later,after just a few seconds,you will see him doing what he was asked to do awhile back. hope you can help me on this so that i could show it to my son's teacher

[@jasmellejaramillo7854]

Hi Mauricio, I enjoyed your explanation alot! Is it possible to discuss 'Thinning Intermittent Reinforcement (limit hold VS ratio strain)'; My professor used an ice cream truck (people reaction towards it) as an example- i do not quite understand; perhaps a different explanation? Thanks! *I know you spoke about ratio strain at 12:30 (concept well explained- thank you)

[@gbsautism]

do the correct responses have to be consecutive? if there are errors to correct in between the responses, do you restart over, or are you looking at the total number of responses in the trial run?

[@mdamentaldisorderawareness9886]

HI Mauricio, how are you? I was wondering if you will be doing training videos also for the BCBA exam?

[@carlysponseller8183]

Thanks for the video! You always help :) please make a video on DRO, DRI, DRL, etc. that would be helpful :))

[@ABAmadeeasy]

I will actually be talking about differential reinforcement in the RBT exam review series I'm doing under behavior reduction (next video) make sure you hit the notification bell next to the subscribe button to know when I upload it. Should be in around 2 weeks, maybe earlier.

[@carlysponseller8183]

ABA Made Easy yay! Thanks! I’ve watched all of your rbt exam review video series, can’t wait for the next!

[@CampfireTalesYT]

Thank you for this, i failed my exam by 9 points and ran out of time to finish the last 8 questions lol. Theres just so much to try and underatand to not know what the exam has on it. Its like another language

[@haitipouhaitien]

did you retake it yet

[@CampfireTalesYT]

@@haitipouhaitien yes i passed the 2nd time with 11 extra minutes.

[@ABAmadeeasy]

Congratulations!!! The perseverance paid off.

[@CampfireTalesYT]

@@ABAmadeeasy yeah its an interesting field, with they paid more but i love being with the kids.

[@migii820]

@@CampfireTalesYT they pay fairly well in my area, what's average pay at yours?

[@madrocha12]

Thanks Muricio, you make ABA easier. Can you make a video listing the vocabulary words most used in ABA. When and how to use them. ;) I'm struggling in how to use the vocabulary when working in mental health with a wide variety of behavior challenges besides the autism spectrum.

[@amalaljasmi3020]

Thanks really great how u make things easy and explain,, so u have any videos regarding lag schedule, Concurrent schedule etc,, plz support 🙏🏻☘️

[@euniceriverog7810]

I think I’m going to watch this video FR50😉

[@mariaivanaagustine2713]

May i ask something, i have this task of mine that i have to learn something with behaviorism theories. So i choose my learning process to increase my sleep time due to my vertigo. So my target is i have to sleep min 5 hours a day, and my learning process is 2 week. I have to increase my target per week, so if in week 1 i have to sleep for 4 hours, in week 2 i hove to sleep 5 hour (target). What confuse me is what schedules i have to use in 1 week so that i have to sleep 5 hours everyday in a week to gain reinforcer. I'm really confuse but i need it for my finale exam, and thank you so much for your explanation it help me a lot.

[@icarovieira1825]

Hi Mauricio, good Morning! I'm Ícaro a psychology student in western Brazil. I have many questions about BCBA and USA programs of master degrees, PHD and PsyD. Do you have an email to talk to? Best regards, Ícaro.

[@deborahregina8955]

Oi Icaro. Eu moro nos EUA e trabalho com ABA therapy. Entre em contato comigo que talvez posso tirar umas das suas dúvidas.

[@GlitteryPegasus]

You could be talking about dog training. The same principles apply. Do you feel good about reducing children to dogs?

Again a wonderful naive presentation in the world of the reductionistic, superficial and inane! We do not do, "..Those behaviors that become intermittently reinforced or not." It is rather much more nuanced and complex than this 75 yr old reductionistic nonsense! Enter the little word called, "organism" which lives between the S(timulus) and R (esponse). Basically, without giving a long expose here, it is the intra and interpersonal registering, processing and understanding of the multiple nuances of nonverbal affective (i.e., visual-facial, auditory-prosodic, tactile-gestural communication) directly linked and bi-directionally connected with our intra and interpersonal autonomic nervous systems (e.g. "Do I feel from a ventral vagus perspective, safe to engage with you and my surroundings or is my sympathetic-adrenal system adaptively mobilized for fight/flight defensive behaviors or worse, not safe and therefore adaptively mobilized in dorsal parasympathetic withdrawal/shutdown and/or dissociation).

[@vivean492]

thank you so much, you really helped me on understanding this!!!! 🤍🦭
