Cooper Chapter 14 - Positive Punishment Flashcards
behavioral contrast
The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple scheule 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.
discriminative stimulus for punishment
A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has been punished and in the absence of which that behavior has not been punished; as a result of this history, the behavior occurs less often in the presence of the ___ than in its absence.
generalized conditioned punisher
overcorrection
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 _____ and positive practice _____.
positive practice overcorrection
A form of overcorrection in which, contingent on an occurrence of the target behavior, the learner is required to repeat a correct form of the behavior, or a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior, a specified number of times; entails an educative component.
recovery from punishment
The occurrence of a previously punished type of response without its punishing consequence; analogous to the extinction of previously reinforced behavior and has the effect of undoing the effect of the punishment.
response blocking
A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem behavior, to prevent completion of the targeted behavior.
response interruption and redirection (RIRD)
A procedural variation of response blocking that involves interrupting stereotypic behavior at its onset and redirecting the individual to complete high-probability behaviors instead.
restitutional overcorrection
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 original state and then to engage in additional behavior to bring the environment to a condition vastly better than it was in prior to the behavior.
The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple scheule 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.
