if behavior decreases
punishment
if stimulus applied after behavior
positive
Response cost
is used to reduce or eliminate a behavior and does so by using negative punishment – i.e., by removing a positive reinforcer whenever the behavior occurs.
___ is least susceptible to satiation
generalized reinforcers
Overcorrection is considered an application of ___because it involves applying a penalty (restitution and/or positive practice) after the target behavior occurs in order to reduce or eliminate that behavior.
positive punishment
