Chapter 15 Flashcards
Negative Punishment
Bonus Response Cost
A procedure for implementing response cost in which the person is provided a reservoir of rein forcers that are removed in pre-determined amounts contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior.
Contingent Observation
A procedure for implementing timeout in which the person is repositioned within an existing setting such that observation of ongoing activities remains, but access to reinforcement is lost.
Exlcusion Time-Out
A procedure for implementing time-out in which, contingent on the occurrence of a target behavior, the person is removed physically from the current environment for a specified period.
Negative Punishment
A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus), that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions; sometimes called Type II punishment.
Nonexclusion Time-Out
A procedure for implementing time out in which, contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person remains within the setting, but does not have access to reinforcement, for a specified period.
Partition or Select Space Time-Out
An exclusion procedure for implementing time-out in which, con-tingent on the occurrence of the target behavior, the person re-mains within the time-in setting, but stays behind a wall, shield, or barrier that restricts the view.
Planned Ignoring
A procedure for implementing time-out in which social reinforcers, usually attention, physical contact, and verbal interaction are with-held for a brief period contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior.
Response Cost
The contingent loss of reinforcers (e.g., a fine), producing a de-crease of the frequency of behavior; a form of negative punishment.
Time-Out from Positive Reinforcement (Time-Out)
The contingent withdrawal of the opportunity to earn positive reinforcement or the loss of access to positive reinforcers for a specified time; a form of negative punishment.
