Teacher Attention

In elementary school classrooms, students commonly recruit teacher attention at inappropriately high rates or at inappropriate times. Multiple schedule interventions have been used to teach stimulus control by signaling to students when reinforcement is and is not available contingent on an appropriate response. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of a class-wide multiple schedule on differentiated rates of student recruitment of teacher attention in two public elementary classrooms. General education teachers implemented the multiple schedule intervention in the context of a common instructional routine (i.e., small group rotations among reading centers). Results indicated that the multiple schedule intervention was effective at decreasing disruptive bids for attention when teacher attention was not available. Additional research on teacher implementation of class-wide multiple schedules is needed to evaluate whether this intervention may be identified as an effective supplement to Tier 1 classroom management strategies within multi-tiered systems of support.

Dopamine Transmission

The “hedonic” value of reinforcers is mediated by dopamine. Accordingly, haloperidol diminishes the value of reinforcers, interfering with the emission of operant behaviors. Alternatively, interference with dopamine transmission leaves animals directed towards the consumption of food. Thus, reinforcers remain intact after the administration of haloperidol. We assessed these possibilities with two types of reinforcers, food-pellets and sucrose-water, delivered under multiple schedules of reinforcement. Lever presses maintained by food-pellets generally was higher than that maintained by sucrose-water. Haloperidol produced dose-related decreases in lever presses and obtained reinforcers. Differences in lever presses maintained by the two types of reinforcers were preserved across doses. Subcutaneous administrations of haloperidol were more potent in decreasing lever presses than intra-peritoneal administrations. Decreases in lever pressing were not necessarily accompanied by substantial reductions in obtained food-pellets and sucrose-water reinforcers; under the effects of haloperidol rats continued to produce a considerable number of both types of reinforcers.

Alternative Responses

Functional communication training (FCT) involves the reinforcement of an appropriate communicative response as an alternative to challenging behavior. The intervention has been identified as an evidence-based practice across multiple populations. Despite its extensive research support, FCT may be impractical in some educational settings because it often requires educators to reinforce alternative responses at high rates. In this discussion article, we describe three procedures (delay to reinforcement, chained schedules of reinforcement, and multiple schedules of reinforcement) that can be used following FCT in educational settings to teach students who exhibit challenging behaviors to tolerate waiting for a reinforcer.
