Chapter 14: Punishment by stimulus Presentation Flashcards
the phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedules 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 of the schedule
Behavioral Contrast
A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior paining with one or more other punishers sometimes called secondary or learned punisher
Conditioned punisher
a stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have occurred and not been reinforced. This history of differential punishment is the reason the sd increases the momentary frequency of the behavior
Discriminative stimulus for punishment-
a stimulus change that as a result of having been paired with many other punishers functions as punishment under most conditions because it is free from the control of motivating conditions for specific types of punishment
Generalized conditioned punisher
a response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus or decrease in intensity of the stimulus that decreases the future frequency of similar response under similar conditions sometimes called type ii punishment
Negative punishment
a behavior change tactic based on positive punishment in which contingent on the problem behavior the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior directly or logically related to fixing the damage caused by the behavior. Forms of overcorrection are restitutional overcorrection and positive practice overcorrection
Overcorrection-
a form of overcorrection in which contingent on an occurrence of the target behavior the learner is required to the repeated correct form of behavior or behavior incompatible with the problem behavior a specified number of times entails an educative component
Positive practice overcorrection
a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior sometimes called type i punishment
Positive punishment
a stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it.
Punisher
occurs when stimulus change immediately follows a response and decrease the future frequency of that type of bx in similar conditions
punishment
a procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem bx to prevent completion of the target behavior
response blocking
a form of overcorrection in which contingent on the problem behavior the learner is required to repair the damage or return the environment to its origins state and then to engage in additional behavior to bring the environment to a condition vastly better than it was in prior to the misbehavior.
Restitutional overcorrection
a stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes this irrespective of the organisms learning history with the stimulus. Unodioned punishers are products of the evolutionary development of the specifies (phyolgeny_)meaning that all members of a species are more or less susceptible to punishment by the presentation of unconditioned punishers
