Project Title Project Title	Training DRA in different contexts to lower resistance to extinction of disruptive behavior
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Ahearn, William
Description Description	The purpose of this study is to compare procedural variations of differential reinforcement for appropriate alternative behavior (DRA). Behavioral momentum theory suggests DRA can lower problem behavior rates but that they can increase the response classes resistance to change. This study aims to study this and identify means of preventing the resistance enhancing effects of DRA.
