Define and describe noncontingent reinforcement. Be sure to discuss how it operates, what its purpose or function is, and considerations for effective implementation of the technique.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Functional communication training develops alternative behaviors that are sensitive to establishing operations. This is similar to noncontingent reinforcement and high-p request sequence.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Answer to Question 1

Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) is an antecedent intervention in which stimuli with known reinforcing properties are delivered on a fixed-time (FT) or variable-time (VT) schedule independent of the learner's behavior. NCR may effectively decrease problem behavior because reinforcers that maintain the problem behavior are available freely and frequently. NCR functions as an abolishing operation

Answer to Question 2

False . Functional communication training does develop alternative behaviors that are sensitive to the establishing operations and this makes it different from antecedent interventions such as noncontingent reinforcement and high-p sequences that are not sensitive to establishing operations.
