Evaluating DRA Without Extinction for Escape-Maintained Destructive Behavior

Evaluating DRA Without Extinction for Escape-Maintained Destructive Behavior

This study explores how differential reinforcement of alternative behavior without using extinction can effectively reduce destructive behaviors maintained by escape, by adjusting reinforcements related to compliance. The researchers replicated prior findings and found that manipulating the quality and magnitude of reinforc

Abstract Synopsis

  • This study compares how different groups—cigarette smokers, smokeless tobacco users, e-cigarette users, and non-tobacco users—value delayed rewards or outcomes, showing that non-tobacco users tend to discount future benefits less than tobacco users.
  • All participants completed tasks measuring their preference for immediate versus delayed gains and losses across various outcomes, finding that tobacco users generally show more impulsivity or a tendency to prefer immediate rewards.
  • The results indicate that any form of nicotine use is linked to increased impulsivity, and switching to less harmful tobacco products like e-cigarettes does not seem to reduce this impulsivity compared to traditional cigarette use.]
