The value of a reinforcer may change based on antecedent events, specifically the behavior of others (Bruzek & Thompson, 2007). In the current study, we examined the effects of manipulating the behavior of the therapist on problem behavior while all dimensions of reinforcement were held constant. Both participants' levels of problem behaviors increased as a function of the altered behavior of the therapist without direct manipulation of states of satiation or deprivation.
强化物的价值可能会根据先行事件而改变,特别是他人的行为(Bruzek & Thompson,2007)。在本研究中,我们考察了在所有强化维度保持不变的情况下,操纵治疗师行为对问题行为的影响。随着治疗师行为的改变,两个参与者的问题行为水平都呈上升趋势,而没有直接操纵满足或剥夺状态。
