B. Discrimination training
C. Demand fading
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

D. None of the above

Explanation:

Differential reinforcement is a type pf study that includes the reinforcement of appropriate behaviors only and leaving out the rest. Therefore, this protocol does not comply to this.

Discrimination training is a process that includes observing the respondent under certain desired stimulus and diminishing the rest unwanted ones.Therefore, this doesn't comply either.

Demand fading is a procedure that includes thinning schedules related to escape maintained behaviors, unlike the given process.

Therefore, none of the procedures are in accordance with the protocol given above.
