Negative Reinforcement: Escape and Avoidance Contingency

Part 1: Setting the Scene
You are a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) who is supervising a new, entry-level behavior technician, specifically a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). You are training the RBT to work with three of your clients. Two of the clients engage in escape behavior, while one engages in avoidance behavior. You have decided to cement the RBT’s understanding of escape behavior versus avoidance behavior using simple examples.
***I need you to use the following book Cooper, J. O., Heron, T. E., & Heward, W. L. (2020). Applied Behavior Analysis. https://purdueuniversityglobal(dot)vitalsource(dot)com/reader/books/9780134798769. Pearson.***
1. Write a scenario in which you describe a target behavior that functions to escape an aversive stimulus. What type of reinforcement is at work in this scenario? Explain how this reinforcement maintains the target behavior. ( scenario: Daniel's mom tells after playing hi has to clean up his toys, Daniel stars hitting himself on his face with open hands and the mother telsl him he doesn't need to clean up his toys anymore after this incident every time Daniel wants to escape cleaning his toys hi starts hitting himself and his mother lets Daniel go) the adverse stimulus is that his mother told him to clean up
2. Write a scenario in which you describe a target behavior that functions to avoid an aversive stimulus ( scenario: Everytime Carlos has to work long hours on his computer he knows he is going to have a headache if he doesn't wear her glasses so before he starts working he puts his glasses on to avoid a headache.
3. How do your explanations of escape versus avoidance meet the law of parsimony?
4. Explain the difference between escape versus avoidance and demonstrate your understanding of this difference by completing the contingency diagrams for your escape and avoidance scenarios.
