Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the difficult behavior, thereby reducing the occurrence of the difficult behavior. This technique is commonly used in behavior management of Alzheimer's patients to reduce difficult behaviors such as agitation, aggression, and wandering. Milieu therapy, spaced reinforcement and cognitive retraining may be useful in other contexts but are not specifically designed to manage difficult behaviors in Alzheimer's patients.
