What does 'DRA' stand for in behavioral intervention techniques?

  1. Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior

  2. Differential Reinforcement of Aggressive behavior

  3. Designated Reinforcement of Action

  4. Differential Reinforcement of Attention

The correct answer is: Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior

DRA stands for "Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior." This technique is designed to reduce unwanted behaviors by reinforcing a more appropriate alternative behavior. Option B is incorrect because it refers to reinforcing aggressive behavior instead of alternative behavior. Option C is incorrect because it refers to "designated" reinforcement, which is not a term used in behavioral intervention techniques. Option D is incorrect because it refers to reinforcing attention, which is a type of reinforcement but not specifically for alternative behavior.
