Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential reinforcement works by reinforcing desired behaviors and extinguishing undesired behaviors, so it is best used in combination with extinction - the withholding of reinforcement for the undesired behavior. Punishment would be counterproductive as it focuses on discouraging behavior rather than encouraging a desired behavior, while negative reinforcement and response prevention do not directly address the reinforcement of desired behaviors.
