Parameters that can increase the effectiveness of a punishment procedure include
Establishment of a clear Sdp
The child managed to open the jar without help… this is an example of
Automatic reinforcement
Guidelines for effective use of response cost include
Avoidance of a zero balance of reinforcers.
While alone in the shower.. with respect to off-key whistling, this is

Parameters that can increase the effectiveness of a punishment procedure include
Reducing the EO for the reinforcer for problem behavior, and using a variety of punishers

Clearly communicate the rules.
Do not increase the fine in small increments
Techniques to increase cooperation with the response cost procedure include
Returning part of the fine for appropriate behavior
Parameters that can increase the effectiveness of a punishment procedure include
All the above
Shifting from a continuous to an intermittent schedule of punishment
Can be appropriate if the problem behavior has been reduced to an acceptable level and extinction can be used for the problem behavior

Provide on opportunity for alternative sources of reinforcement,
Maintaining the overall level of reinforcement.
Reduce the EO for the problem behavior.
Parameters that can increase the effectiveness of a punishment procedure include
Providing alternative sources of reinforcement for a variety of behaviors.
Research in applied setting shows that for the magnitude of response cost fines
Minimal fines are as effective as harsh fines.
