ImpactNeutral impact

The overall discussions are positive but lack strong influence or significant discussion on implications.

Abstract in brief

  • The study replicates previous research on Differential Reinforcement of Other behavior (DRO) and finds that other behaviors tend to increase initially when DRO is used.
  • During DRO, target behaviors and their related responses decrease significantly, but non-target or other behaviors can actually increase, possibly due to extinction effects.
  • The increase in non-target behaviors during DRO might be caused by extinction-induced variability, meaning that when a behavior is suppressed, other behaviors may temporarily rise as a side effect.]
