Transcript of How to diagram contingencies with multiple behaviors
The Three Contingency Model of
Performance Management
Prepared by
Andreja Bratinscak
and
Dick Malott
The Problem
• How do we diagram PM contingencies,
• when you want the behavior to occur repeatedly?
Little Al Poling Gets UP
Getting up on timeIneffective Natural Contingency
SD/Deadline: In a few minutes.
Will lose a few
minutes of time to dohomework
Al gets out of bed
Will notlose a fewminutes of time to dohomework
Before Behavior After
Performance Management Contingency
Mother willtoss a
pitcher ofcold wateron Al andstand thereand laugh
Al gets outof bed
Mother will not toss a pitcher of cold water on Al and stand thereand laugh
SD/Deadline: In a few minutesBefore Behavior After
Inferred Theoretical contingency
Fear of Momtossing a
pitcher of cold water
and laughing
Al gets outof bed
No fear ofmom tossinga pitcher ofcold water
and laughing
Before Behavior After
Hypothetical Little Al #1
Mrs. Poling uses delayed outcome.

Inferred Theoretical Contingency
Fear of lossof $1on

No fear ofloss of $1

Hypothetical Little Al #2
Mama Poling gets real.
Once Again, the SameIneffective Natural Contingency
SD/Deadline: In a few minutes
Will lose a few
minutes of time to dohomework
Al gets out of bed
Will notlose a fewminutes of time to dohomework
Before Behavior After
Hypothetical Little Al #2
Mrs. Poling uses delayed outcome over Little Al’s entire school week.
Performance Management Contingency for Monday
Will lose $5 on
Saturday
Al getsout of bed
Will notlose $5 onSaturday
SD/Deadline: In 1 minute (7:01 AM Monday)Before Behavior After
Hypothetical Little Al #2
Mrs. Poling uses delayed outcome over Little Al’s entire school week.
That’s cool for Monday,
but what about the rest of the days?
We might do a separate diagram for each day,
but here’s a slightly cooler way.
Will lose opp. for $5 on
Saturday
R= 1 => 5
Will notlose opp.for $5 onSaturday
T1= Monday 7:01 am
T2=Tuesday 7:01 am
T3=Wednesday 7:01 am
T4=Thursday 7:01 am
T5=Friday 7:01 am
R1=Get out of bed
R2=Get out of bed
R3=Get out of bed
R4=Get out of bed
R5=Get out of bed
ANALOG TO HOMOGENIOUS RESPONSE SEQUENCE
Before
Behavior AfterSD/Deadline: Monday thru Friday t= 1 5
Inferred Theoretical Contingency
Fear of lossof $5
on SaturdayR= 1 5
No fear ofloss of $5on Saturday
Before Behavior After
Note
What’s a homogeneous response sequence?
R1 through R5 is the same response—getting out of bed.
What’s a heterogeneous response sequence?
So suppose each response is different.
Now an even more real example
where each response is different.
WRITING A PAPER –AN ANALOG TO A HETEROGENEOUS RESPONSE CHAIN
Will lose opp.to see a
movie onSaturday
Will not loseopp. to see a movie on Saturday
R1=M Research
R2=T Writes intro
R3=W Writes method section
R4=TH Writes results and discussion
R5=F Edit the paper
Before Behavior After
R= 1 5
SD/Deadline: 9 PM Monday thru Friday/ T=1 5
Now let’s apply this to helping Derrick
Derrick – Ineffective Natural Contingency
Derrick will have
poor grades
Derrick putsthe
materialsin his book
bag
Derrick willprobably
haveslightly bettergrades
Before Behavior AfterSD/Deadline: 5 min before leaving school
Gum Ball Performance Management Contingency
Will lose opp.for gum
balls
Derrick putsthe materials inhis book bag
Will notlose opp.for gumballs
SD/Deadline: 5 min. before leaving school
Before Behavior After
But now lets get a little more complex.
AN ANALOG TO A HETEROGENEOUS RESPONSE SEQUENCE
Before Behavior After
Will lose opp.or gumballs
Will not loseopp. for gum
ballsR= 1 3
T1=5 min. before leaving school
T2=2 seconds before leaving school
T3=Before time to start homework, (e.g. 2 hrs before bed time)
R1= Put the material in the book bag
R2=Carry book bag home
R3=Put the material on the table
SD/Deadline: T= 1 3
Inferred Theoretical Contingency
Fear of lossof opp.for gum
balls
No fear ofloss ofopp. forgum balls
R= 1 3
Before Behavior After
