What is the primary goal of DRH?

The primary goal of Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Behavior (DRH) is to reinforce high rates of behavior. This technique specifically focuses on increasing the frequency of desired behaviors by providing reinforcement when those behaviors occur at or above a specified rate. DRH is particularly useful in promoting positive behaviors and ensuring that an individual engages in those behaviors more frequently. By emphasizing high rates of behavior, DRH not only fosters skill development but also helps to create a more positive environment.

Options suggesting a decrease in responses or elimination of negative behaviors do not align with DRH's purpose, as it aims to promote and enhance positive behaviors rather than reducing or eliminating behaviors altogether. Maintaining consistent low behavior conflicts with the objective of DRH, which is to achieve higher engagement levels rather than lower activity levels.
