, Reinforce immediately
"When reinforcers are delayed, you always run the risk of
inadvertently reinforcing the wrong bx"
🍺 Temporal contiguity: that is when the reinforcer and the bx
happening in very close proximity.
Reinforce specific bx
"Using data to reinforce not only helps you to be more
specific, but also helps to guard against non-contingent
reinforcement".
Reinforce with sincerity.
🍺 Unearned compliments, flattery and insincere comments are
practically never reinforcing.
Reinforce frequently
🍺 If reinforcers are frequently followed by a negative comment, then
attempt to reinforcement eventually become an antecedent for
punishment.
Don't reinforce and punish at the same time.
"Sandwich method"
Should be avoided
It ditultes the impact of the negative and sets up positive
reinforcement as an antecedent to punishment.
