Um, and, and all of this I think is driven a lot by negative reinforcement.

And the trick is, you know, I-I'm not saying anything new to, to probably anybody who's listening to this, uh, or any behavior analyst that ultimately to like reduce problematic behavior, what we know is we need to like grow other behavior, right? We need to reinforce and teach other skills.

That's how it's gonna work.

You can't just have an intervention focused at reducing inappropriate behavior, generally speaking.

You have to have replacement skills or teaching competing behavior or something like that, right? Um, in other words, you know, and based on our ethical code too, like reinforcement should be the focal point of the intervention, not punitive practices to decrease the other behavior.

What are some limitations to these ways of trying to influence or change disruptive behavior?
