Chapter 14- punishment by Stimulus Presentation

Question 1

Conditioned punisher

Answer 1

A stimulus change that functions as punishment as a result of a person`s conditioning history

Also called a secondary or learned punisher
The result of pairing

Question 2

SD for punishment

Answer 2

A stimulus condition in the presence of which a response has a lower probability of occurrence than it does in its absence as a result of response-contingent punishment delivery in the presence of the stimulus

Question 3

generalized conditioned punisher

Answer 3

A stimulus change that has been paired with numerous forms of unconditioned and conditioned punishers

Question 4

negative punishment

Answer 4

Involves the termination of an already present stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of an already present stimulus) immediately following a behavior that results in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior

Question 5

overcorrection

Answer 5

a behavior reduction tactic in which, contingent on each occurrence of the problem behavior, the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior that is directly related to the problem

Question 6

positive practice overcorrection

Answer 6

contingent on the occurrence of the problem behavior, the lerner is required to repeatedly perform a correct form of the behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior, for a specified duration of time or number of responses

Question 7

positive punishment

Answer 7

occurs when the presentation a stimulus (or an increase in the intensity of an already present stimulus) immediately following a behavior results in a decrease in the frequency of the behavior

Question 8

punisher

Answer 8

A stimulus change that immediately follows the occurrence of a behavior and reduces the future frequency of that time of behavior

Question 9

punishment

Answer 9

occurs when a response is followed immediately by a stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of similar responses

Question 10

response blocking

Answer 10

physically intervening as son as the person begins to emit the problem behavior to prevent the completion of a response

Question 11

Restitutional overcorrection

Answer 11

Contingent on the problem behavior, the learner is required to repair the damage by returning the environment to its original state and then to bring the environment to a condition vastly better than it was

Question 12

Unconditioned punisher

Answer 12

A stimulus whose presentation functions as punishment without having been paired with any other punishers

also called a primary or unlearned punisher

Question 13

Verbal analog conditioning

Answer 13

The process of previously neutral stimuli that can also become conditioned punisher for humans without direct physical pairing with another punisher

Question 14

behavioral contrast

Answer 14

The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component
