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.
