David is continually fighting with other children. Devise a plan to eliminate the fighting by using a combination of (1) reinforcement of incompatible behavior and (2) punishment. In your discussion, be sure to explain:
a. What incompatible behavior(s) you will reinforce
b. What reinforcer you will use, and why
c. What punishment you will use, and why
Answers to the separate parts of the question are as follows:
a. Incompatible behavior in this situation might be either any nonaggressive behavior or a specific prosocial behavior.
b. A specific reinforcer should be identified and a rationale given as to why this particular reinforcer was chosen.
c. A specific punishment should be identified that is consistent with the textbook's guidelines for using punishment and a rationale given as to why this particular punishment was chosen.
The response should describe both the reinforcement of appropriate behaviors toward other children and punishment for fighting.
