Chapter 17 Using Punishment: Time-Out and Response Cost

Question 1

contingent observation

Answer 1

A type of nonexclusionary time-out in which, contingent on the occurrence of the problem behaviour, the person is removed from a reinforcing activity for a brief time and required to sit and observe other people as they continue to engage in the activity.

Question 2

exclusionary time-out

Answer 2

A time-out procedure in which the person is briefly removed from the reinforcing environment - typically to another room-contingent on the occurrence of a problem behaviour.

Question 3

nonexclusionary time-out

Answer 3

A type of time-out procedure in which, contingent on the problem behaviour, the person is removed from all sources of reinforcement but is not removed from the room where the problem behaviour occurred.

Question 4

response cost

Answer 4

A negative punishment procedure in which, contingent on a behaviour, a specified amount of a reinforcer is removed.

Question 5

time-in

Answer 5

The environment from which the child is removed during the use of time-out. The time-in environment should be positively reinforcing for time-out to be effective.

Question 6

time-out

Answer 6

The loss of access to positive reinforcers for a brief period contingent on the problem behaviour. The result is a decrease in the future probability of the problem behaviour.

Question 7

time-out from positive reinforcement

Answer 7

A type of negative punishment in which, contingent on the occurrence of the problem behaviour, the person loses access to positive reinforcers for a brief period. Typically, the person is removed from the reinforcing environment in a time-out procedure.
