Answer 1

punishment

Question 2

punishment is the______________, and the actual consequence is the______________

Answer 2

process

punisher

Question 3

3 characteristics of punishment

Answer 3

a behavior must have a consequence

the behavior must be the decrease of the consequence

the decrease must be the result of the consequence

Question 4

the consequence is added

Answer 4

positive punishment

Question 5

the punisher is subtracted after the response

Answer 5

negative punishment

Question 6

Response dimensions that be punished….

response___________

response_________

response____________

response__________

Answer 6

rate

magnitude

duration

topography

Question 7

all things equal, the greater the _________ between behavior punisher, the quicker and faster the behavior____________, or the _______________ the____________ of behavior

Answer 7

contingency

decreases

greater

suppression

Question 8

(all things equal) the greater the contingency between behavior punisher, the quicker and faster the behavior decreases (or the greater the suppression of behavior)

Answer 8

Contingency in punishment

Question 9

all things equal, greater the contiguity between the behavior and punisher, the more effective is the punishment.

Answer 9

temporal contiguity

Question 10

all things equal) the greater the temporal contiguity (the shorter the delay between a behavior and a punisher) the more effective the punishment.

Answer 10

(Temporal) continuity in punishment

Question 11

(all things equal) the more intense the punisher the more effective the punishment

Answer 11

Punisher intensity (aka magnitude)

Question 12

two problems with physical punishment are that the recipient may try to run away called_____________ or fight back, ________________

Answer 12

escape

aggression

Question 13

variables that affect punishment

Answer 13

contingency

temporal contiguity

punisher probability

punisher magnitude

introductory level of punishment

reinforcement of the punished behavior

alternative sources of reinforcement

motivating operations

Question 14

all things equal, the greater the probability of punishment, the quicker and stronger the decrease in probability of responding

Answer 14

Punisher probability

Question 15

all things equal, the lower the introductory level of punishment, the less effective the punishment.

Answer 15

Introductory level of punishment

Question 16

the greater the MO (EO) the less the effect of punishment on behavior

Answer 16

Motivating operations
