Typical interventions involve disrupting the contingency between problem behavior and the consequences that support it (i.e., extinction), while establishing or strengthening alternative behavioral repertoires to displace problem behavior. These aims, however, can be accomplished via numerous arrangements that vary with respect to the parameters with which alternative responses are reinforced (e.g., NCR schedules, DRO schedules, DRA schedules, DRH schedules, etc.) and with consideration of how practical and practicable it is to implement extinction in the natural environment.
